The alert
The Drift Watch Agent measures population stability (PSI), feature stability (CSI) and performance weekly. When a threshold is breached it opens a case, alerts the model owner and Model Risk, and starts the drift response workflow.
Steps
- 1Open Model operations. The drift advisory names the model, the metric and the threshold.
- 2Read the case: which features moved, since when, and the effect on performance.
- 3Tell the consuming business units. Scores may be less reliable until the model is retrained.
- 4The business owner accepts the retrain cost at the workflow checkpoint. No job starts before that.
- 5Retrain in the sandbox on the refreshed data and compare the candidate with the current champion.
- 6Submit the new version. Model Risk decides whether it is a material change needing revalidation.
- 7Deploy the approved version. The drift indicators return to green once the new version is serving.
