== *Quality Criteria Checklist* (Tier-2 Justification)
61+
62+
This anchor is classified as *Tier 2 — Needs qualification*. It is not self-standing; it requires domain context and explicit verification criteria to be meaningfully applied. The following checklist documents the qualification requirements mapped to Issue #540.
63+
64+
. **Acceptance Criteria** (measurable)
65+
* High-stakes domain identified: yes/no — specify domain (weapons, medical, autonomous driving, critical infrastructure, algorithmic sentencing)
66+
* Autonomy level classified: yes/no — specify Sharkey level (L1–L5) for each critical function
67+
* Human operator identified: yes/no — specify role, training level, and decision authority
68+
* Accountability chain documented: yes/no — specify who decides, who approves, who audits
69+
* Legal/regulatory framework identified: yes/no — specify applicable law (IHL, EU AI Act, GDPR, etc.)
70+
71+
. **Evidence Types Required**
72+
* System specification documenting autonomy boundaries and human-machine interaction points
73+
* Operator training and qualification records
74+
* Audit trail design demonstrating human accountability at each decision point
75+
* Risk assessment showing residual risks after human oversight measures
76+
* Legal review confirming compliance with applicable regulatory framework
77+
78+
. **Minimum Documentation / Artifacts**
79+
* Human-Machine Interface (HMI) specification with override and abort mechanisms
80+
* Decision authority matrix (who decides what, under what conditions)
81+
* Operator situational awareness requirements (information feed, latency, decision time)
82+
* Graceful degradation protocol for communication loss or system failure
83+
* Test protocol validating human intervention capability under operational conditions
84+
85+
. **Validation Methods**
86+
* Simulated scenario testing with time-pressure and information-degradation conditions
87+
* Red-team evaluation of human-override effectiveness
88+
* Independent audit of accountability chain completeness
89+
* Legal review against applicable IHL or regulatory requirements
90+
* Post-deployment monitoring plan for measuring MHC erosion over time
91+
92+
. **Tier-2 Justification Summary**
93+
* *Why not Tier 3*: MHC cannot be evaluated without domain-specific context (weapons vs. medical vs. automotive). The same system may satisfy MHC in one domain and fail in another. Sharkey level L3 may be sufficient for cargo ships but not for lethal targeting.
94+
* *Why not Tier 1*: MHC is a well-established, multi-source concept with clear definition, consistent usage across domains, attributable origin, and rich conceptual activation.
95+
* *Qualification path*: To apply MHC, the user must answer: "Who controls what, with what information, under what constraints, and who is accountable?" The five criteria above operationalize this question.
