Machine Learning Governance at a Global Payments Company: Full Rollout, or a Risk-Tiered Pilot First?

Minerva judgment

Prioritize a scoped, reversible risk-tiered governance pilot: given the lack of evidence on current coverage and control costs, focusing first on validation practices for potentially higher-impact models is more controllable and reversible than a simultaneous full rollout

Human-controlled next action

Commission the risk committee to launch a cross-team risk-tiering inventory, first defining the list of potentially high-impact models and the current state of governance coverage, to establish the basis for pilot scope

What would reverse the recommendation

If the pilot process shows that the risk-tiering judgment lacks reliable grounding (e.g., coverage and model-risk data referenced in U1, U2 remain unavailable), such that the 'scoped' approach itself cannot be supported by evidence, then it should be reassessed whether a more conservative default strategy is warranted rather than continuing to rely on the tiered pilot
