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 / monte-carlo-simulation
Monte Carlo simulation
A numerical method using repeated random sampling to produce probabilistic uncertainty bands on value forecasts — instead of single-point NPV estimates.
What this means in practice
Applied to AI business cases so that sensitivity to token prices, adoption curves, and competitive dynamics is transparently reflected in the expected-value estimate.
Synonyms
Monte Carlo method , MC simulation
