The borrowing is safe only if the artefact behind it matches the description. ## Who it binds Nothing here creates an obligation by itself, and the obligation for performance arrives when the firm writes the term into a control, a specification or a purchase order. ## What to do in your practice Map the places performance appears in policy, procurement and system records. Where the word is used without the entry behind it, add the citation or replace the sentence. ## Evidence an auditor or regulator asks for - A controlled vocabulary entry for performance with the citation 3.1.25, an owner and a review date. An auditor can check that performance is controlled rather than assumed. - An AI system inventory field that records the entry for each system, with its owner. The row names performance. Shows performance in use in the artefact the firm relies on, not only in a glossary. - A policy or procedure sentence that uses the entry in this sense. The record carries the performance entry and its date. The policy borrows the word but not the boundary, so a supplier system and an in-house model are treated as the same kind of thing. The gap is tested against performance. Ask your teamWho owns performance in the vocabulary, and when was it last reviewed? ## Common gaps this page catches - performance is used in the AI vocabulary a policy reaches for first without a written definition, so two teams can mean different things. - A supplier uses performance with a different boundary and nobody has recorded the difference. ## What to prepare before the amendment lands Take the next policy revision and replace the loose use of performance with the entry and its citation. Record the change in the vocabulary change log. ## How to test it here Take one live artefact rather than a template, find the sentence or field where performance is used, and put this page beside it. Record the answer, the artefact and the date, because that record is the evidence and a glossary entry on its own is only an intention. ## What this page does not claim The page does not reproduce the standard, certify the firm or predict the wording the amendment will use; it states performance at the claim level "definition" and stops where the public record stops. ## Common questions What does performance mean in ISO 22989? a result that can be measured What evidence should we keep for 3.1.25? A controlled vocabulary entry for performance with the citation 3.1.25, an owner and a review date. An AI system inventory field that records the entry for each system, with its owner. The row names performance. Is performance a requirement? No: performance is a definition or clause of a terminology standard, and it becomes binding only when a firm writes it into a policy, a contract or a procedure, or when another standard incorporates it. ## Related units - 3.1.24 narrow AI - 3.1.26 planning - 3.1.27 prediction Source.
