What It Is

The MRIS (Model Residual-Risk Information Sheet) is a disclosure template for documenting what risks remain after an AI model has been tested, validated, and deployed. Think of it as a bill of lading for AI models — a structured handoff document that tells downstream users what they’re inheriting.

When to Use

Use the MRIS when:

  • Deploying a model to production
  • Handing off a model to another team or organization
  • Documenting model risks for regulatory compliance
  • Creating model cards or system cards

How to Use

  1. Complete each section before deployment
  2. Review with your risk/compliance team
  3. Include the MRIS in your model documentation
  4. Update when model behavior changes
  5. Share with downstream users and stakeholders
