Red team
A person or group whose assigned role is to actively attempt to find weaknesses in a system, document, or process by attacking it as an adversary would, rather than reviewing it for general quality. In a data governance context, a red team attacks a lineage map's evidence trail specifically, looking for claims trusted by position rather than proof.
Defined in 3 GAGE programs, which carry 4 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Data Governance Professional (CADGP).

A person or group whose assigned role is to actively attempt to find weaknesses in a system, document, or process by attacking it as an adversary would, rather than reviewing it for general quality. In a data governance context, a red team attacks a lineage map's evidence trail specifically, looking for claims trusted by position rather than proof.
A person or group that deliberately attacks a system, a file, or a plan to find its weaknesses before a real adversary or a real failure does. In this program the red team attacked your conformity file in Topic 11.1; in this topic you are the red team, attacking someone else's file to learn.
A single, structured, maximally hostile attack on an argument, run by assigning the AI a specific adversarial persona and asking it to find the weakest factual claim, the weakest logical link, and the strongest counter-evidence a real opponent in that role would use.
A group that deliberately adopts an adversary's goals and methods to find the weaknesses in something before a real adversary does. Here, you red-teaming your own conformity file.
