Use Case

Model Documentation for structured governance and audit readiness

A reliable model risk management framework requires consistent, complete and structured model documentation.

Yields Model Risk Management software includes a document generator that standardizes the development of documentation, validation reports and monitoring reports throughout the model lifecycle.

Model documentation with Yields

Why is good model documentation important

Without structured documentation, organizations cannot ensure that model information is complete, consistent and aligned with governance requirements. This typically results in:

Model information stored in spreadsheets or local files
Manual copy-paste into Word documents
Inconsistent documentation templates across teams
Quantitative evidence stored outside the governance platform
No central repository for documentation
Difficult retrieval of documents during audit or regulatory requests

As a result, documentation becomes a manual and time-consuming exercise, requiring significant effort to compile, update and review reports.

A structured and automated document generator

Yields Model Risk Management Software includes a document generator that allows you to generate documents directly in the platform, or upload your own finalized documents. The choice is yours.

Generate documents directly in the platform using structured model data

Define your own templates in Word with dynamic placeholders

Automatically populate reports with data from models, metadata, and descriptions

Upload your own finalized documents if you prefer working offline

Import data from Excel or CSV via API, SDK, or CLI

Store, tag, and manage everything in one central repository

How it works

Yields provides a structured way to generate and manage model documentation across the lifecycle.

Capture model information

Update model information manually or perform bulk updates via API, SDKs/CLIs or file uploads. Validators can push quantitative evidence directly from Python or R environments using the Yields SDK.

Define documentation templates

Upload and manage templates for Development, Validation and Monitoring documentation. Define the chapter structure and specify what content should appear in each section using placeholders.

Generate documentation automatically

Placeholders populate the document with structured information captured in the platform, ensuring consistency and alignment with internal standards.

Manage documents centrally

Upload and organize documents using tags, comments and descriptions. Maintain a central repository for all lifecycle documentation.

Retrieve and download documentation

Search documents by tag and model properties. Download multiple documents in bulk in ZIP format for audit or regulatory requests.

Designed for regulated environments

Yields is built specifically for Model Risk Management in highly regulated industries.

The document generation and document management functionality support structured governance, audit readiness and alignment with internal policies and regulatory frameworks.

FAQ

What is model documentation?

Model documentation refers to the structured documentation of a model throughout its lifecycle.

It typically includes information about model development, methodology, assumptions, data, validation, monitoring and governance decisions.Model Documentation ensures that model information is complete, consistent and aligned with internal governance requirements and regulatory expectations.

It enables organizations to demonstrate proper model development, validation and monitoring.

What documents can be generated by Yields Model Risk Management Software?

Yields Model Risk Management Software supports the generation of standardized documentation based on predefined templates.

Organizations can generate, for example:
Development documentation
Validation reports
Monitoring reports

Templates are managed within the platform and can be defined in Word or LaTeX format. Using placeholders, documents are automatically populated with structured information captured in the platform.

How does the document generator of Yields reduce manual effort?

The document generator automatically populates documentation templates using structured model information stored in the platform.

This eliminates manual copy-paste, reduces repetitive work and ensures that documentation can be generated and updated significantly faster.

By centralizing model information and quantitative evidence, documentation becomes a structured and efficient process instead of a time-consuming manual exercise.

Can model documentation be integrated with existing systems?

Yes. Yields Model Risk Management Software supports integration with existing systems through a user-friendly API specified using OpenAPI.

Model information and quantitative evidence can be uploaded via API, SDKs/CLIs, or imported from Excel and CSV files. Validators can push results directly from Python or R environments using the Yields SDK.

This allows organizations to integrate documentation processes into their existing workflows while maintaining structured governance within the platform.
