05 · Governance & Compliance
Complete model documentation package
Purpose, data lineage, assumptions, limitations, known failure modes, validation results — capex-grade forecasts require the same documentation rigor as financial models.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Independent model validation
Second-line or external team validates model logic, data lineage, assumptions, backtest methodology, and performance claims.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Ongoing performance monitoring plan
KPIs, monitoring frequency, alert thresholds, and escalation paths for accuracy degradation. Defined as part of model approval, not afterwards.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Model change management and versioning
Who approves model updates, what validation is required, how are changes versioned and rolled back, what is the audit trail.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Align with 3GPP Release 17 / 18 / 19 capacity KPIs
Forecast features and outputs should reference 3GPP-standardized PM counters and KPIs for cross-vendor portability.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Comply with O-RAN Alliance SMO / rApp interface contracts
If deploying into an O-RAN SMO estate, the forecast service should expose rApp-compliant interfaces for non-real-time capacity planning.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Expose forecasts via TMF Open APIs
TM Forum Open APIs (TMF633 Service Catalog, TMF641 Service Ordering, network resource APIs) provide standardized integration into OSS / BSS estates.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Align with ETSI NFV where forecast drives virtualized capacity
If forecast output triggers NFV / VNF scaling decisions, ETSI NFV-MANO compliance is the integration contract with the VNF orchestrator.
05 · Governance & Compliance
FCC Part 15 / Part 90 / CBRS Part 96 spectrum compliance
Forecast-driven capex that adds carriers, increases EIRP, or repurposes bands must respect the applicable FCC rules for each deployed band.
05 · Governance & Compliance
FCC Form 477 / BDC data use policy
FCC broadband deployment data (Form 477 and its successor Broadband Data Collection) is a valuable competitive feature — governed by FCC's published use policy.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Protect competitive intelligence data
Traffic topology, subscriber migration, and competitive win-loss data are commercial secrets. Confirm data handling and access control.
05 · Governance & Compliance
GDPR / subscriber data handling review
Subscriber-level features (density, device mix, IMSI-keyed signals) may fall under GDPR / ePrivacy — confirm anonymization and retention policy.
05 · Governance & Compliance
Board / finance reporting of forecast accuracy
Forecast accuracy and capex-efficiency metrics should appear in board risk and finance reporting, not only network operations dashboards.
