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 / shipped-value
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.
What this means in practice
Shipped value is what the business case projects; realized value is what the organisation captures.
Synonyms
design-intent value , theoretical AI value
