The COMPEL Glossary Graph visualizes relationships between framework terminology, showing how concepts interconnect across domains, stages, and pillars. Term nodes cluster by pillar affiliation while cross-references reveal semantic dependencies — for example, how risk appetite connects to control effectiveness, model governance, and assurance requirements. This network representation helps practitioners navigate the framework vocabulary and understand that COMPEL terminology forms a coherent conceptual system rather than isolated definitions.

Bridges Transition Model
William Bridges' three-phase psychological transition model — Ending (letting go of the old), Neutral Zone (disorientation and exploration), New Beginning (adoption of the new).
What this means in practice
Complements ADKAR by framing transition as a psychological process rather than a sequence of information milestones; particularly relevant where AI replaces tasks people identified with.
Synonyms
Bridges three phases , ending-neutral-beginning model
