Cutdown Compliance Failure Response Policy
Decision
Compliance claims auto-downgrade on failure.
If a previously claimed level no longer passes required conformance evidence, the implementation must immediately publish the highest still-valid level.
Required Actions on Failure
- Recompute passing level against current claim evidence requirements.
- Downgrade claim to highest passing level without grace period.
- Publish failure scope and impacted capability/extension/profile areas.
- Publish remediation plan and target revalidation steps.
Disclosure Requirements
Failure notice must include:
- previous claimed level,
- new downgraded level,
- failing corpus snapshot/version references,
- known user impact,
- expected remediation timeline (if available).
Restoration Rules
- Claim restoration requires new passing evidence for the target level.
- Restoration must reference updated evidence artifacts and run metadata.
