Fast-Fail Summary

The fast-fail summary is the shortest path from a completed run to a disciplined stop, escalate, or next-check decision.

Source artifacts​

The example bundle emits the fast-fail view as both:

  • results/phase_5_fastfail_summary.json
  • results/phase_5_fastfail_summary.html

What it contains​

The JSON artifact includes fields for:

  • aggregate risk band
  • evidence status
  • confidence
  • category ID
  • TRI display
  • risk signals
  • priority findings
  • missing proofs
  • unresolved evidence
  • out-of-scope modules
  • tier compliance
  • claim coverage
  • next checks
  • evidence references

This makes it more than a banner. It is a compact decision packet.

How to use it​

Read the fast-fail summary when you need to answer:

  • Is there a clear blocker or escalation signal
  • Which missing proofs matter most
  • Which modules were intentionally out of scope
  • Which next checks would most improve defensibility

Example interpretation from the sample run​

The sample run shows:

  • aggregate risk band: ELEVATED
  • evidence status: UNRESOLVED
  • confidence: Low
  • category: SMALL_MOLECULE__HAS_LABELED_ASSAYS

That combination means the run is informative, but not fully claim-ready.

What to do next​

Use the fast-fail summary as the first interpretation layer, then move to:

  • context_of_use.json
  • tier_compliance
  • evidence_state_machine.json

when you need to understand whether the unresolved state is a policy problem, an evidence gap, or a coverage limitation.
