COMPEL Body of Knowledge

COMPEL Glossary / GL-62

Responsibility Index

A composite scorecard metric for the Responsibility dimension, combining bias delta, explainability coverage, and human-oversight effectiveness into a single index used in executive reviews.

What this means in practice

The index is computed with published weights and a defined reference model so that scores are comparable across releases; sub-components remain individually visible so that a single weak factor cannot be masked by the composite.

Context in the COMPEL framework

Rolled up in the Evaluate stage from underlying Responsibility metrics; reviewed at steering committees and release gates.

Where you see this

Responsibility Index is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Evaluate and Learn stages — especially within the Agent Governance layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.

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.

  • Trust & Performance Dimensions — The eight continuous-measurement axes against which every AI transformation is evaluated in COMPEL: Value, Reliability, Safety, Responsibility, Compliance, Security, Sustainability, and Adoption.
  • Bias Delta — The measured difference in a model's performance or outcome distribution across protected groups, expressed against a defined fairness threshold.
  • Trustworthiness Score — A top-level composite score combining the Safety, Responsibility, Security, and Compliance dimensions of the trust-and-performance scorecard into a single trust signal for executive reporting.
