For the moment an agent changes

Change Management

An agent's approval was written against how it behaved on a given day. Five gates for what happens when that changes.

Five governance patternsLogic independently verifiedWorks on any platformFor any agent, any industry, any stage

Who this pack is for

A change management lead, an engineering director shipping updates to an agent already in production, or a risk lead accountable for whether agent changes get the scrutiny their actual impact requires.

Governs the moment of change, not the moment of launch

Every time an agent changes — the model underneath it, its behaviour, or its configuration — that change needs the same rigor as the original deployment did.

What's in the pack

All five gates are built so missing or unclear information blocks the result rather than quietly passing it, each tested against every possible input combination. Every worked example follows the same agent's change history through five different points of failure, because in practice these gaps compound on the same change rather than appearing in isolation.

Underlying Model Drift Re-Approval Trigger

Confirms an original approval still holds after a vendor changes the foundation model behind an already-approved agent, or triggers re-approval if it doesn't.

Change Impact Classification by Operating Mode

Confirms a proposed change's impact has been classified against the agent's actual operating mode and risk tier before it proceeds to approval.

Change Approval Workflow by Risk Tier

Confirms a classified change is routed through the workflow its risk tier requires and approved by someone with the right authority.

Emergency Change Process

A governed fast path for genuine emergencies, with defined qualification criteria and a mandatory post-emergency review.

Post-Change Validation Requirement

Confirms a deployed change actually worked as intended, checked against criteria defined in advance, not assumed because nothing obviously broke.

What this pack explicitly does not do

Does not assign an agent's risk tier or operating mode, Agent Tiering / Inherent Risk Classification and Permitted Operating Mode do that, and this pack's Change Impact Classification pattern requires both as inputs rather than setting them. Does not build the approval-routing, emergency-escalation, or validation-monitoring tooling itself, each pattern confirms the right process exists and defines what it should check, it doesn't build the mechanism. Does not cover the org changing the agent's underlying data or definitions, Data & Semantic Governance covers that separately.
