Drift monitoring

The ongoing tracking of whether an AI system's real-world performance is holding steady or degrading over time, distinct from a one-time accuracy or fairness test at signing. Belongs in the operational and monitoring evidence category because AI systems can change or drift after deployment even without either party misrepresenting anything at the outset.

Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 2 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Transformation Professional (CATP).

Certified AI Practitioner: Workplace Foundations

Periodic sampling of AI outputs and the team's verification discipline to catch the quiet decay of both quality and checking habits over time, so review can be re-tightened when a trigger signal appears (such as a two-consecutive-week rise in error rate or a verification-step completion drop from the established normal).
