AIRS-J/1 · Changelog
Every version, and every reversal.
Version files are additive: v0-3 is never overwritten, and each version keeps its permalink. When reliability, fairness or validity monitoring produces a result that weakens a published claim, the adverse finding and the amended claim are recorded here in the next release cycle, per section 4.8. Suppression of an adverse finding is a governance failure, not a commercial decision.
Version history
Section 19, verbatim.
| Version | Date | Change |
|---|---|---|
| 0.1 | Draft | Initial draft. Nine dimensions proposed. One anchor set written. Not issued. |
| 0.2 | 2026-08-15 | Reconciled with canonical StepSim scenario methodology. Added E1 Decision Rights and Escalation; merged stakeholder alignment and disclosure into E2; folded proportionality into P1. Added stakes profile and coverage requirement (§6). All nine anchor sets written. Level 4 rewritten to remove positional-authority confound. Added non-claims (§2.1), assessment integrity (§9), reliability and standard setting (§11), fairness monitoring (§15), candidate data rights (§14.5–14.7). Corrected Merit/Distinction band ordering. Not issued. |
| 0.3 | 2026-08-15 | External-scrutiny revision. Clarified certified function and managerial scope; removed premature instrument approval; added access-support rules, assessor authorisation, explicit provisional aggregation, critical-review reassessment, confidence precedence, performance-appropriate standard-setting requirements, pilot discriminant gating, expanded fairness analysis, appeals and complaints. Expanded the v1.0 evidence gates. The nine dimensions and anchors are unchanged. Not issued. |
The copy this site renders is synced from the canonical source in the AIR APAC standards programme and checksum-gated at build time; the site cannot publish a version of the Standard the standards folder does not hold. Version 0.3 supersedes 0.1 and 0.2, which remain historically recorded above but are not rendered as standalone documents on this site. Read the current version →
Reserved
Adverse findings.
None recorded: no reliability, fairness or validity monitoring has run yet, because the non-certifying pilot has not run. This section exists from day one so that the first adverse finding has an obvious home. Its continued emptiness is a statement about the programme's age, not its results.
