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.
COMPEL Glossary / funding-model
Funding model
The allocation mechanism for AI investment — central allocation, chargeback to business units, showback without billing, or per-initiative funding.
What this means in practice
Choice of funding model shapes behavior: chargeback drives consumption discipline but can suppress experimentation; central funding accelerates pilots but can under-deliver on ROI accountability.
Synonyms
AI funding model , investment allocation model
