AI Failure & Evaluation Pattern Library: A Structured Reference for Professional AI Oversight
40–50 verified patterns mapping AI failure modes to evaluation methods to governance strategies — structured for professional decision-making, not AI-generated overview.
The Problem
AI fails in predictable, classifiable ways. But no professional-grade reference connects failure patterns → evaluation methods → governance strategies in a single verified, structured system. Practitioners rebuild the taxonomy from scratch every time — or worse, trust AI-generated overviews that conflate failure types and fabricate benchmarks.
Three Record Categories
~40–50 structured records organized by category with cross-references and decision routing.
Failure Patterns
Classifiable AI failure modes — content fabrication (statistical invention, source fabrication, quote fabrication), reasoning failures, output degradation, and safety/alignment failures.
- Citation fabrication in research summaries
- Statistical invention in data reports
- Instruction drift in long-form outputs
Evaluation Methods
Claim-level, document-level, and system-level verification approaches with defined inputs, outputs, and complexity ratings.
- Source triangulation method
- Fabrication detection checklist
- Red-team challenge protocol
Governance Patterns
Process gates, monitoring patterns, and organizational oversight structures that prevent failure recurrence.
- Human-in-the-loop verification gate
- Multi-reviewer consensus gate
- Incident response protocol
Sample Record Preview
Every record follows a consistent schema with provenance, decision routing, and cross-references.
Citation fabrication in research summaries
AI generates citations to papers, reports, or sources that do not exist or do not support the attributed claim.
- DOI or URL returns 404 or unrelated content
- Author name + title search yields no matching publication
- Citation format is perfect but source predates the claimed finding
What’s Included
Why Not Just Ask AI?
The product is not information. The product is verified, structured, decision-relevant intelligence.
Taxonomy instability
AI conflates failure types across sessions. This library provides stable IDs and controlled vocabularies that persist across uses.
Hallucinated benchmarks
AI fabricates benchmark numbers and citation statistics. Every record here traces to verified sources with authority levels.
No provenance
AI answers have no citation chains or date_accessed tracking. This library requires provenance on every record.
No decision routing
AI lists options without routing logic. Records include when_applicable, when_not_applicable, and workflow stage mapping.
No stable IDs
AI cannot reference KW-FAIL-001 in your team's tools. Structured IDs enable integration with spreadsheets, workflows, and agents.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from asking ChatGPT about AI failures?
AI conflates failure types, fabricates benchmark numbers, and provides no provenance or stable taxonomy. This library provides verified structure with traceable sources, decision routing logic, and stable record IDs you can reference in team tools and workflows.
What formats are included?
JSON and CSV structured datasets with full schema compliance, a PDF reference guide with decision routing tables, and a web companion index for search and browsing. All formats contain the same verified records.
How often is the library updated?
SLOW-CHANGING classification with annual taxonomy refresh (~8–12 hours/year). Records include last_verified dates. Major model capability shifts or regulatory changes trigger interim updates.
Can I integrate this with my team's tools?
Yes. The JSON/CSV schema is designed for integration with spreadsheets, internal wikis, AI agent tools, and custom verification pipelines. Record IDs (KW-FAIL-001, etc.) are stable references.
Is there a free sample?
Yes. 8–10 representative records are available as a free sample covering all three categories — failure patterns, evaluation methods, and governance patterns.
