Review Checklist for Waiver & Risk Governance focuses on waiver aging, post-silicon waiver escape rate. The goal is to map symptoms to boundary contracts, owner actions, and regression-proof closure.
Baseline manifest and revision are explicit.
Boundary contracts for this topic are current and approved.
Ownership map covers all open issues.
Focused and full regression evidence both exist.
Residual risks are either closed or bounded via waiver policy.
Owners signed: quality lead, signoff lead, executive reviewers.

No top-level issue should remain ownerless beyond one review cycle.Signoff confidence depends on evidence quality and reproducibility discipline.

A near-tapeout risk was caught when manifest mismatch invalidated an apparently green closure report.
Validate manifest integrity
Bound waiver risk
Audit cross-domain owner approvals
Ask: what baseline, owner, and artifact prove this topic is truly closed?
State baseline manifest and owner with every closure metric.
Run cross-domain regression after every top-level fix.
Comparing results across different manifests.
Unowned issues slipping through review cycles.
Waiving risks without expiry and validation plan.
Waiver governance differentiates acceptable bounded risk from hidden quality debt and enforces traceable owner accountability.
