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 / stage-gate-value-review
Stage-gate value review
A COMPEL-stage gate where realized-value-to-date is compared against the business case, and the investment is continued, adjusted, or sunset.
What this means in practice
Distinct from classical stage-gate review because the decision criterion is realized value rather than milestone completion.
Synonyms
value stage-gate , realization gate
