Model governance is the discipline of proving a credit model is accurate, explainable, stable, and fair, then keeping it that way in production. Implementation is how the model is deployed into live decisions without breaking existing systems or controls.
A model that scores well in testing is not usable if it cannot be explained, monitored, or defended to a regulator. In regulated lending, explainability and adverse-action readiness are requirements, not extras. Governance is what makes model performance safe to rely on.
Carrington Labs builds explainability, validation, and monitoring into the model from the start, with driver-level reasons for every score, so governance is designed in rather than bolted on.

Five practical checks to test whether your AI credit model can be explained, challenged, monitored, and trusted, not just whether it performs well.
