The Governed Interaction Stress Tests (GIST™) provide a structured set of behavioral evaluations for AI systems operating under a runtime governance envelope. GIST is designed to assess whether a system maintains stable, interpretable, and safe behavior across a representative range of conversational conditions. The test suite focuses on observable behavior, not architectural implementation, and is intended as an early-stage, interdisciplinary tool for evaluating runtime safety and epistemic reliability.
