What would show that the fix reduced the stated risk?

The illustrative action adds a configuration validation gate after a stale configuration causes failures. Its status begins at Delivered. The proposed test replays a stale configuration in staging. Evidence is intentionally blank so the difference between delivery and verification remains visible.

What this example does not establish

The tool checks whether evidence is recorded, not whether it is true or sufficient. Risk acceptance needs explicit residual-risk and owner information.
