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 / GL-57
Grounding Score
The percentage of generative model outputs whose factual claims can be traced to a verifiable source in the supplied context, computed by a grounding evaluator over a fixed test set.
What this means in practice
A low grounding score indicates hallucination risk; a high score indicates the model is faithfully citing retrieved evidence. Measured continuously on a sampled share of production traffic as well as on release-gate evaluations.
Context in the COMPEL framework
A core Safety metric, paired with hallucination rate. Captured in Evaluate and gated on release in Produce.
Where you see this
Grounding Score is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Produce , Evaluate and Learn stages — especially within the Agent Governance layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
