Justice Decision Observability™ (JDO™) defines the execution-layer governance discipline responsible for documenting how human decision-makers interpret and act on AI-supported system outputs in real-world operational environments. This document, JDO-2026-009, establishes the Model Governance Event Reconstruction Report Template as a standardized format for documenting decision pathway reconstruction following governance-relevant events within justice systems. The template provides a structured reporting framework for capturing the sequence of interactions between automated signals, human interpretation, discretionary authority, and resulting operational outcomes. It translates the Governance Event Reconstruction Protocol (JDO-2026-008) and Decision Pathway Reconstruction Methodology (JDO-2026-007) into a formal documentation artifact that preserves how decisions were made at the execution layer. The Model Governance Event Reconstruction Report Template standardizes how institutions document: The emergence and handling of automated system signals The reconstruction of decision pathways from signal to outcome The conditions under which human authority and discretion were exercised The relationship between system-generated information and institutional action This reporting format is descriptive, system-level, and non-adversarial. It does not evaluate algorithmic performance, determine legal compliance, or assign individual fault. Instead, it provides a consistent and defensible structure for documenting governance conditions surrounding decision-making. JDO-2026-009 functions as a core component of the Justice Decision Observability™ canonical series, enabling institutions to produce structured, repeatable, and transparent records of execution-layer decision behavior across corrections, community supervision, courts, and other AI-supported justice environments.
