Review trigger
An event that prompts a specific update to the dossier, such as a new system going live (update the inventory), a model version change (re-run the evaluation), a law shift (revisit the conformity file), or an incident (log, review, and check the eval suite). Trigger-based maintenance keeps a dossier from silently going stale.
Defined in 4 GAGE programs, which carry 11 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Governance Professional (CAIGP).
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.
An event that prompts a specific update to the dossier, such as a new system going live (update the inventory), a model version change (re-run the evaluation), a law shift (revisit the conformity file), or an incident (log, review, and check the eval suite). Trigger-based maintenance keeps a dossier from silently going stale.
An event that requires an anatomy sheet to be updated: an acquisition, a disposal, a new country, a new product, a new licence, a threshold crossing by the organization, or a change in the threshold itself. Stronger than a review date, because reality rather than memory drives it.
The specific date or condition attached to any recall decision short of full retirement, under which the decision must be actively revisited with fresh evidence, preventing a provisional response from silently becoming permanent by default.
A stated event or date that would change a regulatory map row's classification or status, paired with a next review date. This program's own default cadence for regulatory claims is 90 days (see Topic 0.7).
A specific, named event (a vendor capability update, an anomalous monitoring alert, a change in the agent's stated task) that forces an early review of a credential decision, in addition to its scheduled calendar review date.

Where it shows up at work
A definition is where Review trigger starts. The lessons above teach it inside the competencies below, which are what job descriptions ask for and what the GAGE credential records. Every link here is drawn from the same careers map that builds a role's readiness check.
Governs AI agents that take actions: tool access, least privilege, interruptibility, cascading actions and accountability for what an agent did.

How job descriptions say it
Postings rarely use the textbook word. These are the phrases the careers map reads as asking for the competencies above.
Where the frameworks place it: IMDA Model AI Governance Framework for Agentic AI; NIST AI RMF; NIST AI RMF MAP and MEASURE; ISO/IEC 42005.
One interview question about it
An agent can send emails and update records. What may it touch, what needs a human, and how do you prove afterwards what it did?
Asked of candidates for agentic ai controls and authorization boundaries. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- Privacy and data protection carries it as work you can show: A DPIA is an impact assessment; the AI version adds accuracy, bias and oversight.
- Cybersecurity and IT carries it as work you can show: Incident playbooks and post-incident reviews are your artifacts.
- A cybersecurity or information assurance degree carries it as a claim to back up: Incident response is a course; AI incidents add model failure to the playbook.
