Glossary of Terms

Core terms, acronyms, and assurance language used across the AuditSpine public site.

Assurance I

Data seal created at ingest to prove the original input state for a batch or window.

Assurance II

Configuration seal proving what was planned, selected, and configured before execution.

Assurance III

Execution and proof-stage seal model combining data, config, and runtime evidence.

Assurance Trace

Runtime trace of planned, selected, configured, and executed states for auditability.

Bronze -> Silver -> Gold

Medallion data progression where each stage can be sealed and compared by hash.

Cross-audit

Verification that compares expected and executed outputs across grains and checkpoints.

OpsLevel (TM) pending

Operational control model from manual through autonomous with alert-driven intervention.

RMSE

Root Mean Squared Error, a model quality metric where lower values indicate better fit.

SHA-256

Cryptographic hash standard published by NIST, used here for tamper-evident sealing.

MLflow

Open source ML lifecycle tooling for experiment tracking, model metadata, and reproducibility.

SSAA

Seal-centric assurance architecture applied consistently from local runs to cloud scale.

Storage/Compute Separation

Architecture pattern where data storage and processing layers scale independently.

Three Compute Tiers

Local, container, and cloud execution paths using equivalent sealing and parity checks.
