COMPEL Glossary / attribution-in-ai-integrated-performance

Attribution in AI-integrated performance

Rules for distinguishing human contribution from AI-assisted output in performance measurement — "did the analyst find that insight, or did the tool?" Has direct consequences for promotion, compensation, and public narrative.

What this means in practice

The methodology is nascent; COMPEL treats it as an active area of practice rather than a solved problem.
