Governance Benchmark Dataset

Curated benchmark dataset and evaluation harness for comparing governance evidence feasibility across four decision system architectures: deterministic rule engines, hybrid ML+rules, streaming feature-driven systems, and agentic AI.

This dataset is the artifact mirror of the benchmark described in "Governed Auditable Decisioning Under Uncertainty: Synthesis and Agentic Extension" (arXiv:2604.19112). The canonical code repository is on GitHub and the citable archival deposit is on Zenodo (links below).

What it contains

Eight curated decision scenarios (two per architecture), each carrying a complete decision-event-schema record (schema_version 0.3.x), a per-property feasibility matrix, and — for the hybrid and agentic architectures — cascade traces of multi-step decision chains.

Path	Content
`dataset/architectures/<arch>/scenarios/*.json`	Scenario records with embedded decision events
`dataset/architectures/<arch>/metadata.json`	Architecture description and collapse modalities
`dataset/cascade_traces/*.json`	Multi-step decision chains (hybrid, agentic)
`dataset/feasibility_matrices/cross_architecture.parquet`	48-row per-property feasibility table
`dataset/schemas/*.json`	JSON Schemas for scenarios, traces, and matrices
`dataset/CHECKSUMS.sha256`	sha256 pins for every committed data file

The feasibility matrix scores each decision-event property per scenario (architecture_type, scenario_id, property_name, level, recovery_cost, fillable_ratio, opaque_ratio).

Loading

The flat feasibility matrix loads directly with datasets:

from datasets import load_dataset

matrix = load_dataset("dev404ai/governance-benchmark-dataset", "feasibility_matrix")

Scenario records are nested documents; load them with the typed loaders from the canonical repository (validation, frozen dataclasses, scoring included):

# pip install "git+https://github.com/governance-evidence/governance-benchmark-dataset"
from pathlib import Path
from benchmark.loaders.scenario import load_scenarios

scenarios = load_scenarios(Path("dataset/architectures/agentic_ai/scenarios"))

Integrity

Every data file is pinned in dataset/CHECKSUMS.sha256; the canonical repository enforces the pins in CI. Verify a download from the mirror root with:

shasum -a 256 -c dataset/CHECKSUMS.sha256

Scope and responsible use

Scenarios are curated, synthetic-but-realistic constructions designed to expose architecture-specific structural breaks (decision diffusion, evidence fragmentation, responsibility ambiguity); they are not records of real incidents or real persons. The benchmark measures the feasibility of governance evidence, not the quality of any production system, and is not a compliance certification instrument.
