51-
2. Assign monitoring owners for each metric
52-
3. Collect data (automated dashboards, manual reports, audit results)
53-
4. Analyse results — trends, anomalies, root causes
54-
5. Evaluate against targets — is performance acceptable?
55-
6. Report to management at defined intervals
56-
7. Take corrective action when targets are not met (feeds into Clause 10)
57-
58-
### Documents Required
59-
- AI Performance Monitoring Plan (what, how, when, who)
60-
- AI Performance Dashboard / Report (actual measurement results)
61-
- AIMS Metrics and KPIs Register
62-
63-
---
25+
Determine what to monitor and measure, the methods used, when performed, and when results are analysed. See AI-PERFORMANCE-MONITORING-PLAN.md.

### Audit Programme
74-
The audit programme must cover:
75-
- The scope of each audit
76-
- Frequency (typically annual for full AIMS; more frequent for high-risk areas)
