RACI Matrix

A role-accountability matrix that assigns Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, and Informed designations for every key AI governance decision, control activity, and operational process across the organization.

What this means in practice

It eliminates accountability gaps and prevents governance controls from being owned by no one.

Context in the COMPEL framework

Produced in the Organize stage as part of the operating model design. Every governance control in the Control Requirements Matrix must have a corresponding RACI entry.

Where you see this

RACI Matrix is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Organize and Model stages — especially within the Operational Readiness layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
