Why Automated Validations Fail

Why does automating model validations fail?

Goals/Plan:
1) Specify the model
2) Runs the development model for a replication check
3) Output of all possible analysis for that model type is produced including challenger models

Reasons it Failed:
1) Data and their processes vary from department to department and change across time without warning.
2) Too much output is generated that needs to be manually reviewed.
3) When issues are found, manual output is still required.
4) Anyone proficient in programming can conduct a full validation faster than the automated system.
5) Manually built models by true experts are still beating automated challenger models or development built models.
