Scope: Practical Boundary Review Add-on for LUMINA-30 pre-boundary review
Status: Current public working edition
Purpose
This sheet provides a minimum record format for preventing a NO or UNKNOWN finding in a pre-boundary review from being left unresolved.
It is designed to avoid the pattern where a boundary problem is identified but no operational action follows. It connects gaps in authority, evidence, and stopping procedures to interim measures and review deadlines before irreversibility occurs.
This sheet is not a safety guarantee, certification, legal compliance finding, or replacement for existing AI governance procedures.
When to use this sheet
Use this sheet when any of the following applies.
- Effective human refusal was classified as NO.
- Effective human refusal was classified as UNKNOWN.
- Evidence, authority, stopping mechanism, or accountable owner required for YES could not be confirmed.
Anti-tokenization rule
If NO or UNKNOWN is found, do not close the review by writing only “check before next time.”
The record must include all three items below.
- Interim measure
- Responsible owner
- Review deadline

How to choose an interim measure
| Interim measure | When to use it | Minimum requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Hold deployment | A human cannot stop the process before the irreversible operation, or no stop authority exists. | State that the process must not proceed to the irreversible operation. |
| Continue with conditions | Investigation, validation, or limited testing can continue without entering the irreversible operation. | State the allowed scope, prohibited operations, deadline, and responsible owner. |
| Request design change | A human decision point, stopping mechanism, authority, or evidence record can be added and then re-reviewed. | State the required change and review deadline. |
Closure condition
Do not treat this sheet as closed until one of the following is recorded.
- Evidence for all five conditions has been confirmed and the review is reclassified as YES.
- Deployment hold or cancellation has been decided.
- The scope, owner, and deadline for conditional continuation have been reset.
- Design-change completion criteria and a follow-up review date have been set.
Note
NO or UNKNOWN is not a record of failure. It is an operational warning that the process may not be stoppable before irreversibility.
