Simulation and test-track mileage are necessary but insufficient. Open-world deployment introduces distribution shift, adversarial inputs, and human-machine handovers that offline metrics under-weight.
Beyond validation: authorisation
Validation asks whether the model behaves within bounds in curated settings. Authorisation asks whether this specific action is allowed now, given policy, context, and safety envelopes. That requires a gate between planner outputs and controllers, not a post-hoc review.
Receipts and assurance
Signed decisions support incident reconstruction, certification evidence, and cross-team alignment between safety, security, and product teams. TrigGuard is designed as that gate, not as a replacement for your safety case, but as the control mechanism it depends on in production.
