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.

Sustainability Score
The 11th scoring family in the COMPEL scoring engine, measuring the environmental responsibility of AI operations across five dimensions: energy efficiency (25%), carbon footprint management (25%), model efficiency (20%), resource usage (15%), and sustainability reporting compliance (15%).
What this means in practice
Introduced in COMPEL v2.5 alongside D19.
Context in the COMPEL framework
Computed during Evaluate as part of the comprehensive COMPEL scorecard. Baseline established in Calibrate, targets set in Model, monitoring deployed in Produce, score reviewed in Learn.
Where you see this
Sustainability Score is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Calibrate , Evaluate and Learn stages — especially within the Operational Readiness layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
