Tool 7: Graph Validation Scorecard

Knowledge Graph Architecture Framework · Phase 7 - Validation

KGAF™ v1.0

Tool 7 of 7 · Phase 7 - Validation↑ Import

Purpose: Validate the graph across five quality dimensions before production use. Production readiness requires: Structural Integrity = Pass AND Semantic Consistency = Pass. Any Fail on either blocks production deployment.

Production readiness threshold: Structural Integrity = Pass AND Semantic Consistency = Pass. All other dimensions at Pass or Partial with documented remediation. A graph with Fail on any dimension is not approved for agent reasoning or practitioner navigation.

Dimension 1: Structural Integrity Does the graph conform to the schema specification?

Check	Status	Findings / Exceptions
All required attributes are populated on all nodes
All edge type constraints are satisfied (source/target types correct)
No cardinality violations exist
No prerequisite_of or prerequisite_for cycles exist
No orphan nodes exist (all nodes have at least 1 edge where required)
All deprecated nodes carry deprecated:true, deprecated_date, and deprecation_note

Dimension 1 Overall Verdict

Dimension 2: Semantic Consistency Does the graph accurately represent the domain?

Check	Status	Findings
