Behavior Baseline

Record approved behavior snapshots that future changes can be compared against without causing real-world side effects.

01 · THE SITUATION

“You are about to ship an AI workflow, but there is no safe record of how its important behavior looked at delivery.”

The delivered AI workflow has no safe, repeatable record of what its important behavior looked like at go-live.

REPOSITORY → ACTION → ARTIFACT → OUTCOME

Watch the work move.

03 · WHAT THE FDE DOES

cliVerified public-main primitive

Validate the safe probe manifest

                      adopt probe manifest validate evals/probes/refund-routing.yaml
                    

Available validation primitive; baseline recording remains planned.

Record behavior baseline

Planned workflow — illustrative.

  1. 01Validate declared hosts and the no-side-effect execution policy.
  2. 02Run representative checks only through the approved safe path.
  3. 03Snapshot results with environment, model, configuration, and time metadata.

04 · WHAT GETS PRODUCED

Versioned probe baseline

probe policy

representative output
production health
not observed

A safe reference result for refund routing, tied to the prompt, configuration, and probe manifest used.

05 · WORK AVOIDED

You leave a repeatable reference for detecting behavior change instead of relying on memory.

06 · CREDIBILITY BOUNDARY

What this cannot know or do.

  • A baseline is not production monitoring or proof of correctness; it covers only approved probes and cannot trigger real side effects.
