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 / hybrid-hub-and-spoke-archetype

What this means in practice
Most common mature archetype; balances consistency and proximity but requires clear hub-vs-spoke decision rights to avoid dual-sovereignty conflict.
Synonyms
