G-252 · Knowledge knobit · Activity: Design the governance operating model and stewardship · Competence: Data governance

Each decision type has one decider and escalates upward to the next level with authority; only the top level escalates to nothing.

Can AI do this?

AI does this well Most of the tested AI models master this. 4 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.

Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.

What it looks like in practice

Expected result: Each decision type has one decider and escalates upward to the next level with authority; only the top level escalates to nothing.
