A SHARED LANGUAGE

Different records.
Different jobs.

AI system

A business application or operational workflow using AI.

IN THE DEMONSTRATIONCommercial Underwriting Assistant.

Use case

The business work and decision the system supports.

IN THE DEMONSTRATIONSummarize a submission for a human underwriter.

Model

A specific predictive or language model used by a system.

IN THE DEMONSTRATIONAn explicitly fictional hosted language model; not inferred from the application’s name.

Deployment

Where and how a system/model version runs.

IN THE DEMONSTRATIONAn authored example environment and hosting region, or “Not documented.”

Requirement

An obligation or expectation whose source and applicability must be identified.

IN THE DEMONSTRATIONA clearly fictional oversight requirement in the demonstration.

Policy

The organization’s stated rule or commitment.

IN THE DEMONSTRATIONHuman review is required before a defined decision.

Control

An assigned activity intended to put a policy or requirement into practice.

IN THE DEMONSTRATIONA reviewer checks and records a decision before work advances.

Evidence

A record supporting a specific assertion, scope and period.

IN THE DEMONSTRATIONA procedure describes the control; a review event may show an instance of its operation.

Knowledge view

Entities and typed relationships: what exists and how it is connected.

IN THE DEMONSTRATIONSystem → model → provider; policy → control → evidence.

Context view

Recorded rationale, actors, source versions, conditions and changes.

IN THE DEMONSTRATIONWhy a mapping was accepted, who reviewed it, and what changed afterward.

A policy statement is not proof that a control operated. Accepting a source assertion is not approval of an AI use or acceptance of its risk. A “second brain” can help retrieve and connect information; it does not replace these distinctions or the customer review process.
