The SR 26-2 Gap Check

On April 17, 2026 the Fed, FDIC, and OCC replaced SR 11-7 with SR 26-2, the model risk rulebook banks ran on for 14 years, pushing controls to day one of the model lifecycle. This maps your model inventory to the new rule and finds where you now fail, on your own files, in your own Claude. 8 prompts build the SR 26-2 coverage matrix, find the shift-left control gaps, re-grade the model tiers, catch the vendor and nth-party models, run a self-check that re-derives the gap list a second way, build the remediation plan, and assemble an examiner-ready file. The validation team's quarter of work, on your own inventory.

Rent it forever, or own it once.

I want to set this up properly so Claude checks my model risk program against the new SR 26-2 rule on my real inventory, not a one-off chat. Walk me through it step by step, do not skip anything. Treat me like a model risk officer, CRO, or validation lead who has never built a Claude Project and does not write code. Define every term once.

This is NOT a Terminal or coding install. There is nothing to compile. It is a private Claude Project where the model inventory and governance docs live.

## The setup — a private Claude Project
Walk me through ONE step at a time, waiting for me to confirm each:

1. **What I need.** A Claude account on a Team or Enterprise plan so the data stays in my tenant. Pin **Opus 4.8**. Nothing to install.
2. **Make the workspace.** In Claude, create a new **Project** named for the institution and the review. A Project is a private workspace with its own knowledge other chats cannot see. My inventory and reports stay in my own tenant.
3. **Load the records.** Drop the model inventory, the validation reports, and the model risk governance policy into the Project knowledge. A spreadsheet inventory is fine.
4. **Run the vault.** Run prompt 01, pick the scope (full readiness, one model family, the vendor models, or a quarterly refresh) and where the data is. Then run 02 to 08: map to SR 26-2, find the shift-left gaps, re-grade the tiers, catch the vendor models, the self-check, the remediation plan, and the examiner-ready file.
5. **Gate it.** Treat prompt 06 (the self-check) as a hard stop. A **GATE: FAILED** means the two passes disagree on a gap; reconcile before continuing. This is a first-pass readiness review, not a filing. A named risk officer signs; legal and risk own the final program.

## Rules for walking me through this
- One step at a time. Define every term once: Project, knowledge, SR 11-7, SR 26-2, model inventory, validation, shift left, model tier, third-party and nth-party model, regulated-decision model, review gate.
- Do NOT tell me a step is "not possible." If I cannot find the Project button, it is in the left sidebar of claude.ai.
- Never paste supervised or confidential data into a public chat. Use a Project with my tenant controls.
- This maps the new rule to my inventory and finds the gaps. It does not validate a model or replace my validation function. Not legal or regulatory advice.

First message: ask me "What is the scope: full SR 26-2 readiness across the inventory, one model family, the vendor models, or a quarterly refresh? And do you have the model inventory and governance policy ready to upload?" Then start step 1.
Step 2

Step 1 installed it. Now run these 8 prompts on your own data.

Before you connect live data

  • • Run dummy data first. Real client data is not a test bed.
  • • API keys never go in a public repo. Use env vars and a secrets manager.
  • • Add logging, access control, monitoring, and a rollback path before launch.
  • • Read the license. Forking a repo without checking is how lawsuits start.
