Data Suitability Recipe FAQ
Common questions about the record the recipe writes, certification, baselines, attestations, permissions, and resuming.
The Recipe and the Record
What does the Data Suitability recipe produce?
An AI Use Case, the governance record for the data feeding an AI model or agent, and, once that record is certified, an attestation: an immutable, point-in-time evidence record you can export as JSON or HTML.
Does the recipe scan or change my data?
No. It reads the platform's existing metadata about the bound assets, such as quality scores, profiles, row counts, check outcomes, lineage, and masking, and writes only the AI Use Case and its attestations. No rows or values from your data appear in the evidence.
Does it use AgentQ?
No. Unlike the other recipes, Data Suitability offers no AI suggestions. Every part of the record is assembled deterministically from platform metadata.
Where are AI Use Cases in the application?
On the Data Suitability recipe's record list, reached from Recipes in the left side panel. There is no separate AI Use Cases page. Clicking a record opens its page, with the Overview and Attestations tabs.
Does it matter whether the model is trained or an agent?
No. An agent that retrieves from governed tables at run time raises the same governance question as a trained model and carries the same AI Use Case.
Certification
Why can't I generate the attestation before certifying?
Certification is the governance approval; the attestation is the immutable evidence of that approved state. Generating first would preserve a Draft or In Review decision in the artifact. The Evidence step therefore waits for Certified.
Who can certify?
A user with the Manager role and the Editor team permission on every bound datastore, or an Admin. The author of a record can never certify it, and the Manager role alone does not bypass the team permission.
Is the expiry date required?
No. Certification valid through is optional. A certification with no date never lapses. With a date, the record reads as Expired once the date passes.
Does Qualytics notify the approver?
No. Share the AI Use Case page with the approver when you submit for review.
Baseline and Attestations
What does the baseline capture?
Today's quality scores, profile identifiers, and row counts for every bound container. Every attestation in the certification cycle measures drift from that referent.
What happens when I start a new baseline?
The referent is replaced and the record returns to Draft, clearing the approval. Existing attestations remain unchanged. The new cycle must be certified before another attestation can be generated.
Can I edit an attestation?
No. Attestations are immutable. Regenerating creates a new one that supersedes the previous, and the superseded record stays retrievable under History and through Attestation as of a date.
Why did generation fail after I changed the bound containers?
A baseline belongs to one scope. Binding or unbinding containers after capture blocks generation until you start a new baseline.
What is in an attestation?
The use case's identity and certification, the baseline, per-container quality scores across the eight dimensions with drift, open anomaly counts, the check set with its outcomes, lineage edges, a masking summary, record provenance, and the deployment that produced it. See AI Use Cases.
Permissions and Resuming
Why can't I see a use case someone else created?
You need the Viewer team permission on every datastore it binds. A record is only as accessible as its weakest binding.
Why can I see a record but not edit it?
Editing needs Author on every bound datastore, and Members can only edit records they created. Managers and Admins can edit any record they can see.
Can I resume on another computer?
Yes. Progress is saved on the AI Use Case, so Open in Recipe on the record list or Continue Recipe on the record's page reopens the run anywhere.
Why does the Recipes card never say Continue?
Because progress lives on the record rather than in your browser, the card cannot know which record you were working on. Resume from the record list or the AI Use Case page instead.
Does Start Another delete anything?
No. It returns to the record list. The use case keeps its record, baseline, and attestations.
