Where the concept is used.

Decision framing, source qualification, evidence generation, confidence review, owner decision, and governed follow-up.

Relevant records and fields

What evidence can support it.

Decision question, operational source, mapped fields, evidence class, confidence tier, owner, review status, action, and audit metadata.

Common ambiguity

What the term does not prove.

Decision intelligence supports accountable decisions; it does not transfer decision rights to an AI system.

Concept-specific example

A concept-specific operating scenario.

A maintenance engineer confirms whether two valve records are interchangeable before an ERP cleanup decision.

Buyer or operator consequenceThis term helps teams decide whether the supporting source records are strong enough for diagnostic review before a signal becomes an owner-reviewed finding.

Concept mapping

GovernanceMind AI owns the primary diagnostic relationship.

AI2COE uses human review to keep diagnostic findings accountable before ERP cleanup, maintenance action, governance decisions, or AI adoption steps.

Scope boundary

Product boundary: Human-in-the-loop language means owner-reviewed decision support, not autonomous remediation.

The glossary defines terminology. It does not convert a term into a benchmark result, customer finding, or operational instruction.

Related action

Use the term only after checking the evidence route and product boundary.

Glossary pages are reference entries. They support diagnostic evaluation, but the operating decision still depends on source data, confidence tiers, and accountable owner review.
