Dossier
A single, indexed evidence file that assembles every artifact an estate has produced, cross-referenced to the module or decision that created it and to where it was later consumed, attacked, or amended, structured so an outsider can locate primary evidence for any specific governance claim without asking a follow-up question.
Defined in 3 GAGE programs, which carry 11 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in AI Data Governance: The Data Chair.
How each discipline defines it
The same term does different work depending on who is using it. These are the definitions as each program teaches them, unedited.
A curated, structured evidence file assembled to make a single case about one subject. In this program, the subject is your organization's AI governance and the case is that it is deliberate and evidenced. A dossier has one controlling index, a claim-to-evidence map, and provenance on every item, which is what distinguishes it from a folder.
A single, indexed evidence file that assembles every artifact an estate has produced, cross-referenced to the module or decision that created it and to where it was later consumed, attacked, or amended, structured so an outsider can locate primary evidence for any specific governance claim without asking a follow-up question.
The learner's own accumulating collection of governance artifacts across this program, built dimension by dimension, module by module, against the framework's own structure. The framework orientation page produced in this topic's Practical Exercise is its first entry.
The formal Agentic MGF Conformance Dossier the learner builds section by section across the program, starting with a System Description in Module 1 (see Topic 1.9), for the real or simulated deployment chosen in Topic 0.6 (see Topic 0.6).
The accumulating folder of owned decisions and artifacts a learner produces from their own seat across the whole program, beginning with the first Decision Record and ending with the capstone the learner defends out loud. The dossier, not a body of recited knowledge, is the proof of expertise. (see Topic 0.3)
