What if · the follow-ups in this answer

The answer works through 6 follow-ups like an interviewer would

A governance team asks engineering for model cards for every model in production, and engineering sends back marketing-style one-pagers.

  1. What is a model card for?
  2. What must the card contain for security and governance?
  3. What if evaluations are reported as single numbers?
  4. What if the model is from a third-party provider?
  5. How do you keep cards current?
  6. What would you require from engineering?

Each rung has a nudge, a model answer, the principle that carries over and the weak answer to avoid. Premium opens every answer and ladder.
