Model card / system card
A primary-source document from a model's maker describing what the model is, how it was evaluated, and its known limits. The place you verify a capability claim rather than trusting a headline. Different labs use different formats and different levels of detail, and a card can lag a live deployment, so a claim about current behavior sometimes needs a cross-check against the provider's changelog or release notes, not the card alone. (see Topic 12.1)
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Governance Professional (CAIGP).
