AdmittedEvery gate passed for this revision.
HeldWaiting on evidence or a human ruling. Not a failure.
RejectedAn automatic fail, such as a licence outside the policy.
T1Evidence tier: T1 a licence file, T2 a model-card section, T3 a repository tag only.
BACKFILLA backfill, not a track record: assessed before release tracking began, so it shows no release-to-verdict time and none counts toward the median.

A verdict covers licence, provenance and files. Quality and fit on your own tasks are measured by Compare. How the gate decides

Deciding which models your teams may run? Heliast runs this gate inside your environment, on your policy, for every model you use.
