What We Mean by Model Integrity Review

Model Integrity Review (MIR) provides independent, management-led, document-based review of analytical models and their supporting documentation, focused on structural clarity, internal consistency, assumption traceability, and documentation sufficiency for management oversight, audit, or decision use.

MIR exists to answer a narrow but critical question:
Can leadership clearly understand, explain, and stand behind this model as it is currently documented?

The review focuses on explainability under reasonable questioning, not on technical correctness, analytical performance, validation, or endorsement.

This question becomes critical when models are briefed beyond their authors — to executives, reviewers, auditors, or external stakeholders.

MIR complements existing validation or governance programs by focusing on clarity and defensibility of the model as documented. We do not perform statistical testing, performance benchmarking, or regulatory compliance work.

MIR does not build, modify, run, or validate models. We review existing materials and provide a short written review memorandum describing scope, observed strengths, and documentation or structural risks. The memorandum is advisory and is not an endorsement, certification, or validation.

What we do
This is a structural and documentation review of the materials provided — not technical validation, optimization, or redesign.
What we do not do
If validation, certification, or redesign is required, we will say so directly.
What you receive
If requested, a redacted outline of the memorandum structure can be shared after a fit call.
Independence and accountability
When MIR is a good fit
If you are seeking approval, certification, or technical optimization, MIR is unlikely to be the right fit.
Next step
The next step is a short introductory call to confirm fit and scope. If helpful, you may request a redacted outline of a typical review memorandum or a brief written description of how MIR would approach a specific model. Engagements are accepted selectively to preserve independence and review quality.
