Oversight cadence & retrospectives

Across the Atlas, the actors who changed outcomes were oversight actors: an evaluation regime around Allegheny's tool, the Royal Commission after Robodebt, court supervision over MiDAS, auditors in Rotterdam. Oversight cadence institutionalizes what they did — regular, empowered review of the system's real behavior — without waiting for the failure that summons them.

The cadence is the control: review that happens when someone requests it happens never. Mandated frequency, published findings, and a standing requirement that the deploying team answer the findings convert oversight from event to environment.

Include retrospective authority: when something does go wrong, a pre-committed retrospective with teeth (Robodebt's commission is the template) is how institutions learn at less than catastrophe prices.
