Explains policies, standards and procedures as distinct instruments
A policy states intent and scope, a standard a verifiable requirement serving a policy, a procedure the steps meeting a standard; each with an owner and a lifecycle.
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.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 100% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
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: A policy states intent and scope, a standard a verifiable requirement serving a policy, a procedure the steps meeting a standard; each with an owner and a lifecycle.
