7/7 Audit PASS: Complete Phase 0–9.5 Compliance and Production Readiness

Date: November 10, 2025

Today we're announcing 7/7 PASS across all audit criteria through Phase 9.5. This milestone locks down a complete, verified, reproducible foundation for production AI operations.


What We Proved

Our comprehensive audit validated:

65% cost reduction (Phase 7.5) — Intelligent budget controller deployed in production

Sub-millisecond security (Phase 9) — 0.102ms p50 latency, 100× under target

Complete operational readiness (Phase 9.5) — SLO tracking, incident response playbooks, dashboards, observability

LVPF provenance gates — All artifacts signed and immutable

Zero unverified claims — Every metric linked to reproducible proof


The Numbers

Phase 7.5: Cost Reduction with Quality Improvement

| Metric | Value | Target | Status | | ------------------------ | ----- | ------ | --------------------- | | Cost reduction | 65% | ≥60% | ✅ PASS | | Pass@1 quality | 89% | ≥85% | ✅ PASS + improvement | | Routing latency overhead | <5ms | <10ms | ✅ PASS | | Deployment downtime | 0 | 0 | ✅ PASS |

What this means: We didn't sacrifice quality to reduce costs. We improved both simultaneously through intelligent multi-provider routing.

Phase 9: Security Agent Performance

| Metric | Value | Target | Status | | -------------------- | ------- | ------ | --------------------- | | P50 latency | 0.102ms | <10ms | ✅ PASS (100× margin) | | P95 latency | 0.205ms | <20ms | ✅ PASS (100× margin) | | Unauthorized actions | 0 | 0 | ✅ PASS | | Audit coverage | 100% | 100% | ✅ PASS |

What this means: Security enforcement is not a bottleneck. It's invisible—fast, transparent, and comprehensive.

Phase 9.5: Operational Readiness

✅ SLO tracking — Automated dashboards with alerting

✅ Incident response playbooks — Tested, documented, ready to execute

✅ Observability infrastructure — Prometheus + Grafana + Chronicler audit logging

✅ Runbooks for common issues — Troubleshooting guides for operations teams


How to Verify

All audit results are reproducible and verifiable:

<h1>Clone and install</h1>
git clone https://github.com/Orion-Alliance/orion-alliance-ai.git
cd orion-alliance-ai
pnpm install

<h1>Run audit reproducers</h1> pnpm run p75:replay pnpm run sentinel:perf pnpm run p9_5:readiness

<h1>Inspect proof artifacts</h1> cat reports/p75/replay-20251108.json cat reports/sentinel/perf-2025-11-08.json cat reports/p9_5/readiness-2025-11-10.json

<h1>View dashboards (Grafana JSON)</h1> cat dashboards/grafana/p75-cost-and-quality.json cat dashboards/grafana/sentinel-perf.json cat dashboards/grafana/p9_5-slo-tracking.json

Time to verify: <10 minutes for all three phases

Understanding the Audit

What's being audited? All phases from 0 (foundational infrastructure) through 9.5 (operational readiness).

By whom? Independent auditors using LVPF (Lightweight Verifiable Provenance Framework) to validate that all proof artifacts are signed, immutable, and reproducible.

How strict? We require margin above targets (e.g., 65% > 60% for cost, 0.102ms << 10ms for latency) to ensure we're not just barely passing.

What Comes Next

🚀 Phase 10 — Multi-modal routing (vision + audio inputs)

📊 Phase 11 — Telemetry expansion (cost tracking per model, per user, per project)

🔄 Phase 12 — Continuous compliance (automated re-auditing on every main branch commit)


Why This Matters

For Operators: You have a battle-tested, audited, observable AI system ready for production.

For Enterprises: You have verified cost savings, security guarantees, and compliance artifacts ready for your audit team.

For Open Source: You have reproducible science, not just claims. Fork, verify, build on top.
