Change control
The rule that any material change to scope, timeline, or budget goes through a defined request with an impact assessment rather than being absorbed silently. It is the enforcement arm of the out-of-scope list, converting "can you also handle X" from a favor into a resourced decision.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Transformation Professional (CATP).

The discipline that governs alterations to a model or a control: a request, an impact assessment, a decision, a record, and a trigger for revalidation where the change is material.
The discipline of routing every change to a production AI system through review, testing, and rollback readiness sized to the change's risk. Rests on treating configuration as code: a behavior change is a product change.
