+# Model Risk Management (SR 11-7–Style Framework)
+
+## Scope
+
+This document evaluates risks associated with AI components used in
+**Federal FOIA Intelligence Search**.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Model Inventory
+
+| Component | Description |
+|----|----|
+| LLM | External, general-purpose language model |
+| PDF extraction | Optional text extraction utility |
+| Visual analytics | Metadata-only plotting |
+
+---
+
+## 2. Intended Use
+
+- Research assistance
+- Contextual explanation
+- Metadata summarization
+
+**Not intended for:**
+- Legal advice
+- Evidence creation
+- Predictive analysis
+- Decision automation
+
+---
+
+## 3. Risk Identification
+
+### Key Risks
+- Hallucinated statements
+- Citation misuse
+- User overreliance
+- Misinterpretation of public records
+
+---
+
+## 4. Risk Controls
+
+| Risk | Control |
+|----|----|
+| Hallucination | Citation anchoring |
+| Overconfidence | Disclosure banners |
+| Scope creep | Feature flags |
+| Data misuse | Public-only constraint |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Validation & Testing
+
+- Manual review of AI outputs
+- Cross-checking against citations
+- Integrity hashing for auditability
+
+---
+
+## 6. Governance & Oversight
+
+- Phase-based feature rollout
+- Hard-gated experimental features
+- Maintainer approval for expansions
+
+---
+
+## 7. Change Management
+
+- Version-controlled releases
+- Feature flags for AI
+- Kill-switch capability
+
+---
+
+## 8. Residual Risk Assessment
+
+Residual risk is **Low to Moderate**, acceptable given:
+- Non-decision-making role
+- Explicit user warnings
+- Absence of automation
+
+---
+
+## SR 11-7 Alignment Summary
+
+This application aligns with **low-risk assistive model classifications**
+under SR 11-7-style governance.
