Overlap
The period during which the outgoing lead and the successor operate the governance function together, so that tacit judgment, relationships, and the currency watch can transfer in motion. The mechanism that distinguishes a handover from a document drop; when it is short, the handover is triaged rather than abandoned.
Defined in 2 GAGE programs, which carry 3 distinct definitions of it. The wording above is taught in Certified AI Governance Professional (CAIGP).
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.
The period during which the outgoing lead and the successor operate the governance function together, so that tacit judgment, relationships, and the currency watch can transfer in motion. The mechanism that distinguishes a handover from a document drop; when it is short, the handover is triaged rather than abandoned.
A situation in which a single control, document, or process satisfies distinct requirements from two or more jurisdictions simultaneously, because the underlying obligations point in a compatible direction. The subject of Topic 9.4. (see Topic 9.4)
A mapping classification for two or more instruments that both apply to the same deployment and can both be satisfied in parallel without contradiction.

Where it shows up at work
A definition is where Overlap starts. The lessons above teach it inside the competencies below, which are what job descriptions ask for and what the GAGE credential records. Every link here is drawn from the same careers map that builds a role's readiness check.
Compares the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 and sector rules by intent and control objective, and says where they do not overlap.

How job descriptions say it
Postings rarely use the textbook word. These are the phrases the careers map reads as asking for the competencies above.
Where the frameworks place it: EU AI Act; NIST AI RMF; ISO/IEC 42001; NIST AI RMF MAP 2.
One interview question about it
Map one control to the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001 at once, and tell me where the mapping breaks.
Asked of candidates for framework crosswalking without false equivalence. Answering it in your own words is exactly how a GAGE topic is passed, and the credential records the pass where an employer can check it.
If you come from another field
Some backgrounds already carry this competency, and the readiness check gives credit for it.
- Nonprofit program and grants oversight carries it as a claim to back up: Mission accountability and beneficiary protection are ethical reasoning in practice.
- A law degree (JD, LLB or LLM), no AI work yet carries it as a claim to back up: Turning a value into a test is what a legal standard is.
