Pathway Feasibility Certificate
A Pathway Feasibility Certificate is a formal determination that a pathway is appropriately designed and managed to deliver the required performance standard. It is produced following a Diagnose engagement and contains the full logic of the pathway: mathematical proofs of feasibility and statistical validation of the evidence on which that conclusion rests.
It is the document that answers a regulator's, a commissioner's, or a legal team's question about whether this pathway can do what it is supposed to do. Two certificate tiers are available, Basic and Plus, depending on the depth of evidence required and the Diagnose product from which the certificate follows.
What this delivers
A formal feasibility verdict with the mathematical basis made explicit
Not an asserted opinion. A calculated determination, with the proofs.
Two certificate tiers: Basic and Plus
Basic follows a Baseline Assessment: the documented pathway logic tested against the performance standard. Plus follows a full Observation Study, where the deeper evidence base reflects observed operational behaviour, not only documented rules. Where there is any gap between policy and practice, Plus is the appropriate standard.
Full logic report with mathematical proofs and statistical validation evidence
The certificate is not a summary document. It contains the full reasoning: the pathway topology, the governing rules, the model outputs, and the statistical validation of the evidence base.
A document structured for regulatory, legal, or complaints use
Not an internal governance annex. The primary evidence that the pathway is appropriately designed and managed. Formatted for the audience that needs to rely on it.
How it works
A Pathway Feasibility Certificate requires a prior Diagnose product as its foundation. The assessment work is what produces the evidence base the certificate certifies. A Basic certificate follows a Baseline Assessment. The documented pathway logic (topology, governing rules, and mathematical model) is tested against the performance standard, and the certificate records the verdict with its proofs.
A Plus certificate follows a full Observation Study. Where a Baseline Assessment works from documented rules, an Observation Study maps actual operational behaviour: the undocumented rules, local adaptations, and practice patterns that govern the pathway in use. The evidence base for a Plus certificate therefore reflects what the pathway does, not only what it is documented to do. Where there is any gap between policy and practice, Plus is the appropriate standard.
The full logic report contained in both tiers sets out the pathway topology, the governing rules applied to the model, the mathematical proofs of feasibility, and the statistical validation of the evidence on which the determination rests. It is structured for the audience that needs to rely on it: a regulator testing whether the pathway meets its design standard, a commissioner assessing whether the performance commitment is well-founded, or a legal team establishing whether the pathway was appropriately managed at a specific point in time.
