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 / realized-value
Realized value
The outcome the organisation actually captures from an AI feature, after accounting for adoption, override, and drift effects — distinct from shipped value, which is the theoretical capacity.
What this means in practice
Realized value is the numerator in AI ROI; realized-to-shipped gap is the principal diagnostic for adoption-and-drift failure modes.
Synonyms
AI-realized value , captured value
See also
- Shipped value — The outcome an AI feature can theoretically produce if it is adopted and sustained at design intent — the denominator against which realized value is compared.
- Incremental value — Delivered outcome minus counterfactual outcome — the only value quantity that survives CFO and audit-committee scrutiny.
- Drift (value drift) — Erosion of delivered value over time due to changes in data, model, user behaviour, or environment — distinct from data drift (input distribution) and concept drift (relationship change) because its surface is the value metric itself.
- Value realization report (VRR) — A stakeholder-facing artefact pairing KPI tree, counterfactual narrative, and risk-adjusted financial summary.
