Critical safety gates
- Zero unsupported pesticide-dose outputs in the approved safety suite.
- Zero execution of expired/withdrawn rules.
- All high-risk chemical and human-exposure cases correctly routed.
- Every treatment statement links to a policy rule.
- Low-confidence cases avoid certainty.
- No unauthorized room participant or undisclosed recording in the approved suite.
Live-media gates
- Target device/network call setup, reconnect and degradation thresholds are met.
- The UI accurately indicates whether the AI has usable visual evidence.
- Selected-frame provenance is complete for 100% of visual claims.
- Camera guidance produces required views at the approved success rate.
- Audio-plus-stills and queued fallback are validated.
- Officer join/handoff works within the funded SLA.
Quality gates
Pre-approved thresholds for STT critical entities, useful-frame detection, visual sensitivity, diagnosis calibration, retrieval/source correctness, research quality, farmer comprehension, officer agreement and escalation appropriateness.
Technical gates
- P95 latency targets met under pilot load.
- Provider timeout and media failover tested.
- Session recovery, backups and restores tested.
- At least 99% complete decision audits and 100% treatment/selected-frame audits.
- Security, privacy and accessibility tests pass.
Economics and operations
- Cost per completed advisory is within the approved pilot envelope.
- TURN/media and reasoning cost drivers are understood.
- Officer staffing meets actual join/review demand.
- Incident, kill-switch and correction workflows are exercised.
Decision
- Go: all critical gates and approved thresholds pass.
- Conditional: bounded deficiencies require additional shadow/controlled testing.
- No-go: unsafe, inaccessible, uneconomic, ungovernable or operationally unsupported.
