Glossary

Mga depinisyon ng mga mahahalagang termino sa pagbuo ng accountable na AI work automation systems.

Ang Agent2Agent protocol ay open standard para makahanap ang autonomous agents ng isa't isa, makipagpalitan ng tasks, at mag-coordinate ng trabaho sa pagitan ng mga organisasyon. Tinutukoy nito kung paano ipinapakita ng isang agent ang capabilities nito at kung paano nagde-delegate ang ibang agent ng task at sinusubaybayan ito hanggang matapos.

Mga kasingkahulugan: A2A, agent2agent, agent-to-agent protocol, agent interoperability

Paano naiiba ang A2A sa MCP?
Ikinokonekta ng MCP ang model sa tools at data. Ikinokonekta ng A2A ang agents sa isa't isa, tinutukoy kung paano ipinapasa ng isang agent ang task sa iba at sinusundan ang status nito, sa halip na kung paano tatawag ang model ng iisang tool.
Paano sinusubaybayan ang A2A tasks?
Ang A2A task ay naka-map sa tracked work record para ang lifecycle, ebidensiya, at outcome nito ay naa-audit, tulad ng trabahong galing sa tao o form.

Agentic operations is the practice of running business operations with AI agents that plan and act — not just answer — under explicit governance. Agents triage intake, retrieve grounded evidence, propose actions, and execute approved ones in real systems, while approvals, policy checks, and an audit trail keep their activity safe. It pairs agent autonomy with operational controls so automation can run in production.

Mga kasingkahulugan: agentic workflow automation, AI operations automation, agent operations, AI ops

How is agentic operations different from a chatbot?
A chatbot answers messages. Agentic operations runs work: agents classify intake, ground answers in cited evidence, and execute governed actions in business systems, with approvals and an audit trail — the unit of value is completed, accountable work.
What keeps agentic operations safe in production?
Scoped credentials bound what agents can touch, policy overlays decide what needs human approval, evaluation gates test behavior before rollout, and every step is recorded — so autonomy never outruns accountability.

AI work automation is the use of AI models to turn unstructured requests — emails, chats, documents, forms — into completed work: grounded answers or actions executed in business systems. Unlike chat assistants, it operates on structured work items with evidence, approvals, and an audit trail, so every outcome is traceable and governed.

Mga kasingkahulugan: AI workflow automation, agentic workflow automation, AI work orchestration, intelligent work automation

How is AI work automation different from an AI chatbot?
A chatbot produces a reply and forgets the exchange. AI work automation converts each request into a structured work item, grounds answers in cited evidence, routes proposed actions through approvals, and records the outcome — the unit of value is completed work, not a message.
How does it relate to agentic workflow automation?
They describe the same category from different angles. Agentic framing emphasizes the model planning and acting; work-automation framing emphasizes the governance around it — structured intake, evidence, approval gates, and an audit trail that makes agent activity safe to run in production.

Ang pag-optimize para sa mga answer engine ay pagsasaayos ng nilalaman para mahanap, ma-cite, at ma-summarize nang tama ito ng mga AI answer engine at chat assistant. Kung mga naka-rank na link ang target ng SEO, mismong binubuong sagot ang target ng AEO, gamit ang malinaw na depinisyon, structured data, at mga file ng pinagmulan na nababasa ng makina.

Mga kasingkahulugan: AEO, generative engine optimization, GEO, AI search optimization

Paano naiiba ang AEO sa SEO?
Ino-optimize ng SEO ang page para mag-rank bilang link na maaaring i-click sa pahina ng resulta. Ino-optimize ng AEO ang nilalaman para mapili, ma-quote, at ma-cite sa loob ng sagot na binuo ng AI, kaya pinapaboran nito ang eksaktong depinisyon, structured data, at malinis na feeds na nababasa ng makina.
Anong signal ang tumutulong sa answer engine na mag-cite ng page?
Pagsulat na nauuna ang depinisyon, valid na schema.org structured data, llms.txt index, FAQ markup, at stable canonical URLs ang nagpapadali sa answer engine na kunin at i-attribute ang nilalaman.

An audit trail is the tamper-evident record of everything that happened to a piece of work: what arrived, what the AI extracted and proposed, which evidence grounded each answer, who approved what, and which actions executed. It lets teams reconstruct and prove any outcome end to end — essential for compliance, debugging, and trust in automation.

Mga kasingkahulugan: audit log, activity log, execution history, decision log

What does an audit trail capture in AI work automation?
Each event in a work item's life: intake and its source channel, extracted fields, retrieved evidence and citations, the AI's proposals, every approval or rejection with actor and timestamp, and the executed actions with their results.
Why does an audit trail matter for AI specifically?
AI decisions are probabilistic, so accountability has to come from the record rather than the rule. A complete trail shows what the model saw, what it proposed, and who authorized the outcome — turning otherwise opaque automation into something reviewable and defensible.

Automated resolution is when an AI work platform completes a request end to end — understanding the intake, grounding an answer in cited evidence, or executing a governed action — without a person doing the work, while still leaving a full record. It is measured honestly: only requests closed correctly and within policy count, and anything uncertain is escalated rather than force-closed.

Mga kasingkahulugan: auto-resolution, automated containment, self-service resolution, deflection

How is automated resolution measured honestly?
Only requests resolved correctly, within policy, and without human intervention count toward the rate. Uncertain or low-confidence cases are escalated, not force-closed, so the metric reflects real outcomes instead of inflated deflection.
What happens when a request can't be resolved automatically?
It becomes a WorkItem routed to the right owner with full context — the intake, evidence, and reasoning attached — so a person picks up a complete case rather than starting from scratch.

Ang intake automation ay proseso ng pag-convert ng unstructured inbound requests sa structured, machine-readable records nang walang manual data entry. Inuuri nito ang request, kinukuha ang mahahalagang fields, at niruruta ang resulta sa workflow para masagot o ma-actionan nang consistent ang trabaho.

Mga kasingkahulugan: request intake, automated triage, intake processing, request normalization

Anong uri ng intake ang maaaring i-automate?
Email, chat messages, web forms, uploaded documents, at synced records mula sa connected systems ay lahat maaaring i-normalize sa iisang structured shape para sa downstream handling.
Pinapalitan ba ng intake automation ang tao?
Hindi. Tinatanggal nito ang manual data-entry at triage burden para makapag-focus ang tao sa judgement-heavy exceptions, approvals, at high-risk decisions na niruruta sa kanila ng policy.

The CAIQ (Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire) is a cloud-security self-assessment from the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), aligned to the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM). A provider answers each control question — typically yes/no with notes — to document its security posture, and CAIQ submissions can be published in the CSA STAR registry.

Mga kasingkahulugan: Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire, CSA CAIQ, CAIQ questionnaire

How does CAIQ relate to the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM)?
The CAIQ is the question form of the CCM: each CAIQ question maps to a CCM control, so answering the CAIQ documents how a provider meets the CCM's cloud-security control domains. They are maintained together by the Cloud Security Alliance.
What is the CSA STAR registry?
STAR (Security, Trust, Assurance and Risk) is the CSA's public registry where cloud providers can publish completed CAIQ self-assessments (and higher assurance levels). A published CAIQ lets customers review a provider's posture without sending a bespoke questionnaire.

Ang chunking ay proseso ng paghahati ng source documents sa mas maliliit na retrieval units bago gawing embeddings ang mga ito. Tinutukoy ng chunk size at boundary strategy kung gaano katumpak makakahanap ang retriever ng relevant fact, habang binabalanse ang recall, precision, at embedding cost sa knowledge base.

Mga kasingkahulugan: text chunking, document segmentation, passage splitting, chunk strategy

Ano ang magandang chunk?
Ang magandang chunk ay buo ang semantic meaning, tama ang laki para hindi mahati ang isang fact sa boundary, at may stable metadata para ma-filter, ma-refresh, at ma-cite nang maaasahan.
Paano naaapektuhan ng chunking ang kalidad ng sagot?
Ang sobrang laking chunks ay nagpapalabo ng relevance at nagsasayang ng tokens, habang ang sobrang liit ay nagpuputol ng context at nawawalan ng kahulugan. Direktang hinuhubog ng boundary choices ang recall at groundedness ng generated answers.

Ang approval workflow ay governed sequence ng checkpoints na kailangang daanan ng proposed action bago ito maisagawa. Bawat hakbang ay niruruta ang decision sa tamang reviewer batay sa risk, role, o policy, at nire-record kung sino ang nag-apruba ng ano para ganap na accountable ang outcome.

Mga kasingkahulugan: approval flow, review workflow, authorization workflow, proseso ng sign-off

Ano ang puwedeng mag-trigger ng approval requirement?
Maaaring ilapat ang requirements ayon sa workflow, channel, risk class, monetary threshold, o action type, kaya ang mga hakbang lang na talagang nangangailangan ng oversight ang humihinto para sa reviewer.
Paano nananatiling auditable ang approval workflow?
Nire-record ang bawat request, approval, edit, at rejection kasama ang actor at timestamp, kaya nabubuo ang end-to-end trail na nagpapatunay kung sino ang nag-authorize sa bawat governed action.

Ang agent delegation ay kontroladong pagbibigay ng scoped at time-bound na awtoridad sa isang AI agent para kumilos sa ngalan ng user o ibang agent. Eksaktong nililinaw ng delegasyon kung aling capabilities, tenants, at aksyon ang pinapayagan, kaya kumikilos ang agent sa ilalim ng malinaw, nare-revoke, at naa-audit na mga limitasyon.

Mga kasingkahulugan: delegated authority, scoped delegation, awtorisasyon ng agent, agent grant

Ano ang tinutukoy ng delegation scope?
Ang capabilities na maaaring gamitin ng agent, tenant kung saan ito maaaring kumilos, mga aksyong maaari nitong imungkahi o isagawa, at expiry, para makitid, time-bound, at nare-revoke ang awtoridad.
Paano nananatiling accountable ang delegasyon?
Iniuugnay ang bawat delegated action sa agent at sa principal na nag-delegate, at nire-record ito sa audit trail; ang sensitibong aksyon ay dumadaan pa rin sa approval policy.

Ang embedding ay numeric vector na kumakatawan sa kahulugan ng text, images, o ibang data sa high-dimensional space. Ang items na magkapareho ang kahulugan ay gumagawa ng vectors na magkakalapit, kaya maaaring magkumpara, mag-cluster, at mag-retrieve ng content ayon sa semantic similarity sa halip na exact matches.

Mga kasingkahulugan: vector embedding, text embedding, semantic vector, dense representation

Bakit mahalaga ang version ng embedding model?
Hindi maihahambing ang vectors mula sa magkaibang models. Kapag naka-store ang model version kasama ng bawat embedding, makikita mo ang drift at ligtas kang makakapag-reindex kapag nag-upgrade ng embedding model.
Nababalik ba ang embeddings sa orihinal na text?
Hindi eksakto, pero maaaring mag-leak ng sensitibong impormasyon ang embeddings, kaya dapat nilang manahin ang parehong tenant isolation at access controls gaya ng source content na kinakatawan nila.

An evaluation gate is an automated quality checkpoint that scores an AI workflow against curated test cases before a change ships. Prompts, retrieval settings, or pack updates must pass thresholds for accuracy, grounding, and safety; failing changes are blocked from release. Gates turn AI quality from a hope into an enforced, repeatable engineering practice.

Mga kasingkahulugan: eval gate, quality gate, release gate, evaluation harness

What does an evaluation gate measure?
Typically answer accuracy against expected outputs, grounding quality (are claims backed by retrieved evidence), intent-classification correctness, and safety checks — each scored over a curated dataset that reflects real production traffic.
When do evaluation gates run?
Before a configuration change is released: editing a prompt, swapping a model, tuning retrieval, or updating a pack triggers the evaluation suite, and the change only promotes if scores clear the configured thresholds.

A governed action is a system operation proposed by AI but executed only under explicit controls — scoped credentials, policy checks, and approval gates. Instead of letting a model act directly, the platform records the proposal, routes it for review when policy requires, and executes it with full attribution, so automation never outruns accountability.

Mga kasingkahulugan: governed execution, approval-gated action, policy-gated action, controlled action

What controls apply to a governed action?
Scoped connector credentials limit what the action can touch, policy rules decide whether it needs human approval, and execution is attributed and logged — so each action carries who proposed it, who approved it, and exactly what changed.
Do all governed actions require human approval?
No. Policies can auto-approve low-risk, well-grounded actions and reserve human review for sensitive ones — by action type, monetary threshold, or risk class — so oversight concentrates where it matters.

Ang grounding ay gawain ng paglilimita sa output ng AI model sa verifiable source evidence sa halip na sa parametric memory nito. Ang grounded answer ay suportado ng retrieved passages na maaaring i-cite at suriin, kaya ito ang pangunahing depensa laban sa fabricated o confident pero maling responses.

Mga kasingkahulugan: grounded AI, evidence grounding, source grounding, factual grounding

Paano ipinapatupad ang grounding sa praktika?
Nagbibigay ang retrieval sa model ng relevant source passages lamang, inuutusan ito ng prompt na sumagot mula sa ebidensiyang iyon, at tinatanggihan ng verification step ang claims na walang supporting citation.
Ano ang mangyayari kapag walang grounding evidence?
Ang maayos na grounded system ay tatangging sumagot o mag-e-escalate sa tao sa halip na mag-imbento ng response, at ipapakita ang explicit gap sa halip na confident guess.

Ang hallucination ay confident ngunit walang suporta o gawa-gawang output mula sa language model — claim na mukhang kapani-paniwala pero walang batayan sa ibinigay na ebidensiya o sa realidad. Ito ang pangunahing risk sa pag-automate ng knowledge work, at grounding na may cited evidence ang pangunahing mitigation.

Mga kasingkahulugan: AI hallucination, fabrication, confabulation, ungrounded output

Bakit nagha-hallucinate ang language models?
Hinuhulaan ng models ang malamang na text, hindi verified facts. Kapag walang retrieved evidence na naglilimita sa kanila, pinupunan nila ang gaps ng statistically plausible pero hindi verified na statements.
Paano binabawasan ang hallucination?
I-ground ang answers sa retrieved sources, mag-require ng citations, i-verify ang claims laban sa ebidensiya, at i-route sa tao ang low-confidence o unsupported cases sa halip na magbalik ng hula.

Ang human-in-the-loop ay design pattern kung saan nire-review, inaaprubahan, o itinatama ng mga tao ang proposals ng AI system bago magkabisa ang mga ito. Pinananatili nito ang human judgement sa critical path para sa high-risk o low-confidence decisions habang automation ang humahawak sa routine volume.

Mga kasingkahulugan: HITL, human in the loop, human oversight, human review

Kailan dapat human-in-the-loop ang isang step?
Kapag high-risk, irreversible, low-confidence, o sakop ng policy ang decision. Ang routine, well-grounded, low-risk steps ay maaaring awtomatikong tumakbo habang tao ang nagre-review ng exceptions.
Paano ito naiiba sa full automation?
Kumikilos ang full automation nang walang review. Naglalagay ang human-in-the-loop ng explicit checkpoint kung saan maaaring mag-approve, mag-edit, o mag-reject ang tao, pinananatili ang accountability para sa sensitibong outcomes.

Pinagsasama ng hybrid retrieval ang semantic vector search at lexical keyword search para kumuha ng relevant passages. Nahuhuli ng vector search ang kahulugan at paraphrase, nahuhuli ng keyword search ang exact terms at identifiers, at pinagsasanib ng fusion step ang dalawang result sets para hindi mawala ang precise tokens o conceptual matches.

Mga kasingkahulugan: hybrid search, dense-sparse retrieval, vector plus keyword search, fusion retrieval

Bakit pagsamahin ang vector at keyword search?
Maaaring mamiss ng vector search ang rare exact terms gaya ng SKUs o error codes, habang namimiss ng keyword search ang paraphrases. Pinagsasama ng fusion ang lakas ng bawat isa at pinapataas ang recall sa real-world queries.
Paano pinagsasama ang dalawang result sets?
Gumagamit ang fusion method gaya ng reciprocal rank fusion o weighted score blend para i-rerank ang merged candidates, madalas sinusundan ng cross-encoder reranker para sa final precision.

Ang Model Context Protocol ay open standard na nagpapahintulot sa AI assistants na kumonekta sa external tools at data sources sa pamamagitan ng uniform interface. Nag-e-expose ang MCP server ng typed tools at resources na maaaring i-discover at tawagin ng model client, kaya maaaring magdagdag ng capabilities nang walang bespoke per-integration code.

Mga kasingkahulugan: MCP, model context protocol, MCP server, tool protocol

Ano ang ine-expose ng MCP server?
Typed tools na maaaring i-invoke ng model at resources na maaaring basahin, bawat isa ay inilarawan gamit ang schema at annotations para ma-discover ng client ang capabilities at matawag ang mga ito nang ligtas.
Bakit mahalaga ang MCP para sa governed automation?
Nagbibigay ito sa external assistants ng standard at schema-described na paraan para kumilos sa platform, kaya mave-validate ang tool calls, ma-scope sa tenant, at ma-route sa parehong approval policy gaya ng ibang action.

Ang intent classification ay hakbang na tumutukoy kung ano talaga ang hinihingi ng inbound request, minamapa ang unstructured text sa defined category ng trabaho. Iniruruta ng accurate classification ang bawat WorkItem sa tamang workflow, evidence sources, at policy, kaya ito ang pundasyon ng reliable automation.

Mga kasingkahulugan: intent detection, request classification, intent recognition, routing classification

Bakit mahalaga ang intent classification?
Ito ang nagdedesisyon sa buong downstream path. Kapag mali ang classification, maling ebidensiya ang kukunin at maling policy ang ilalapat, kaya ang classification accuracy ang gate sa kalidad ng lahat ng kasunod.
Paano sinusukat ang classification accuracy?
Sa pamamagitan ng evaluation gates sa labeled set, pagsubaybay ng precision at recall per intent, at pagbabantay sa pagkalito sa pagitan ng magkakahawig na categories bago mag-live ang workflow.

Ang tenant isolation ay garantiya na ang data at configuration ng bawat customer sa multi-tenant system ay nananatiling logically separated at hindi naa-access ng ibang tenants. Ipinapatupad ito sa bawat layer — storage, retrieval, at access control — para hindi kailanman makita o maimpluwensiyahan ng isang organization ang trabaho ng iba.

Mga kasingkahulugan: multi-tenant isolation, tenant scoping, data partitioning, tenancy boundary

Paano ipinapatupad ang tenant isolation habang nagre-retrieve?
Bawat query ay scoped sa requesting tenant, at may tenant identifier ang stored content para ang vector at keyword search ay makapagbalik lang ng sariling ebidensiya ng tenant na iyon.
Data lang ba ang sakop ng isolation?
Hindi. Sakop din nito ang configuration, policy, embeddings, at audit logs, kaya walang bahagi ng trabaho ng isang tenant ang tumatagas sa iba kahit nasa shared infrastructure.

Nangyayari ang SLA breach kapag hindi naabot ng trabaho ang commitment na tinukoy sa service-level agreement, gaya ng response o resolution deadline. Ang awtomatikong detection at escalation ng breaches ay nagpapanatiling visible ang accountability at tinitiyak na makarating ang at-risk work sa tamang tao bago mapalampas ang commitments.

Mga kasingkahulugan: service level breach, SLA violation, missed SLA, deadline breach

Paano awtomatikong nade-detect ang SLA breaches?
May commitment timers ang bawat WorkItem, at mino-monitor ng system ang elapsed time laban sa thresholds, nagre-raise ng escalations habang papalapit ang deadline at nire-record ang breach kung napalampas ito.
Ano ang mangyayari kapag paparating na ang breach?
Maaaring i-escalate ng policy ang WorkItem, i-notify ang owners, o i-reprioritize ang queue para lumipat ang attention sa at-risk work bago talaga mapalampas ang commitment.

Ang panukalang aksyon ay isang nakabalangkas at mare-review na mungkahi para baguhin ang nakakonektang business system — ginagawa ng automation pero hindi pa isinasagawa. Tinutukoy nito ang target na system, operasyon, at eksaktong mga parameter, para maaprubahan, ma-edit, o matanggihan muna ito ng tao o policy bago may mangyari.

Mga kasingkahulugan: iminungkahing aksyon, mungkahi ng aksyon, draft na aksyon, nakabinbing aksyon

Bakit magmumungkahi muna ng aksyon sa halip na direktang isagawa?
Pinaghihiwalay ng proposal ang intent at epekto. Binibigyan nito ang approval policy at mga reviewer ng pagkakataong suriin ang eksaktong operasyon at mga parameter, para hindi umabot sa system of record ang automated na pagkakamali.
Ano ang laman ng isang panukalang aksyon?
Ang target na integration, operasyong gagawin, naresolbang mga parameter, sumusuportang ebidensiya, at policy decision kung kailangan muna ng approval bago isagawa.

A policy overlay is the layer of governance rules a platform applies on top of AI work — deciding what an agent may answer or do, when human approval is required, and which guardrails bind each action. Policies are versioned and evaluated at runtime against each WorkItem, so the same request is handled consistently and every decision traces back to the policy version that produced it.

Mga kasingkahulugan: policy layer, governance overlay, policy controls, guardrail policy

What does a policy overlay control?
It controls what an AI agent is allowed to answer or execute: which actions are auto-approved, which require human approval, what grounding or evidence is required, and which connectors and data a WorkItem may touch — all evaluated per request rather than hardcoded.
Why version policies instead of hardcoding rules?
Versioned policies make governance auditable and reversible. Each decision records the policy version that produced it, so you can see why an action was allowed or held, roll a change back, and prove consistent handling during a review.

Questionnaire automation is the use of AI to draft answers to recurring questionnaires — security questionnaires, SIG and CAIQ workbooks, RFP sections, and due-diligence forms — from an organization's own approved sources. Done accountably, each questionnaire becomes a tracked work item whose answers are grounded in cited evidence, routed for approval, and exported with an audit trail.

Mga kasingkahulugan: security questionnaire automation, RFP response automation, AI questionnaire response

How is questionnaire automation different from a chatbot writing answers?
A chatbot generates plausible text and forgets it. Accountable questionnaire automation turns each questionnaire into a structured work item, draws answers from your approved sources with citations, routes sensitive answers for approval, and records who answered what and on what basis — so the output is defensible, not just fluent.
How does questionnaire automation stay accurate?
Answers are grounded in retrieval over sources you approve and cite the evidence behind each one. When the evidence does not support an answer, a well-designed system flags it for a human instead of guessing, and sensitive answers wait for a named owner before they are sent.

Ang retrieval-augmented generation ay teknik na nagg-ground ng output ng language model sa retrieved source documents sa halip na umasa lang sa parametric memory nito. Kinukuha ng system ang relevant passages mula sa knowledge base, ibinibigay ang mga iyon bilang context, at pinasasagot ang model gamit lang ang ebidensiyang iyon.

Mga kasingkahulugan: RAG, retrieval augmented generation, grounded generation, context augmentation

Bakit gamitin ang RAG sa halip na fine-tuning?
Pinapanatili ng RAG ang knowledge sa external store na agad mong mau-update, kaya current ang answers at traceable sa source ang bawat claim. Iniluluto ng fine-tuning ang knowledge sa weights, mas mabagal itong i-refresh at mas mahirap i-attribute.
Ano ang laman ng RAG pipeline?
Karaniwan itong may ingestion at chunking, embedding, index para sa vector o hybrid search, retriever, at generation step na kinokondisyon ang model sa retrieved passages at nagbabalik ng cited evidence.

A security questionnaire is a structured set of questions one organization sends another — usually a customer to a vendor — to assess how it protects data and systems. Common formats include the SIG, CAIQ, RFP security sections, and custom spreadsheets, and answers must be consistent, evidence-backed, and reviewed before they are returned.

Mga kasingkahulugan: vendor security questionnaire, third-party security questionnaire, security assessment questionnaire, due diligence questionnaire

What formats do security questionnaires come in?
Common formats include standardized frameworks like the SIG (Standardized Information Gathering) and CAIQ (Consensus Assessments Initiative Questionnaire), the security section of an RFP, and custom spreadsheets a customer sends. The underlying questions overlap heavily, which is why past answers are the main source for new ones.
How do teams answer security questionnaires efficiently?
The fastest, safest approach reuses approved prior answers and source documents — previous questionnaires, security policies, SOC 2 reports, DPAs — retrieved and cited per answer, with sensitive answers routed to a named owner for approval before the completed workbook is returned.

The SIG (Standardized Information Gathering) questionnaire is a standardized third-party risk assessment maintained by Shared Assessments. It provides a common library of questions across security, privacy, and resilience domains, and ships in scoped variants (such as SIG Core and SIG Lite) so assessors can right-size the depth of a vendor review.

Mga kasingkahulugan: SIG questionnaire, Standardized Information Gathering questionnaire, Shared Assessments SIG

What is the difference between SIG Core and SIG Lite?
SIG Lite is a shorter, higher-level set for lower-risk vendors or a first pass; SIG Core is the deeper, more comprehensive set for higher-risk or in-depth reviews. Both draw from the same Shared Assessments question library, so answers map across variants.
Who maintains the SIG?
The SIG is maintained by Shared Assessments, an industry member organization, and is updated periodically to track regulations and control frameworks. It is widely used so vendors can reuse consistent answers across many customers.

Isinasentralisa ng SSO ang pag-sign in at hinahayaan ang IdP na ipatupad ang mga patakaran gaya ng MFA at conditional access. Nangangailangan pa rin ang access sa Threada ng kasalukuyang user at tenant role na pinamamahalaan ng Admin.

Mga kasingkahulugan: saml, federated login, enterprise sso

Bakit mahalaga ang SSO para sa shell-and-pack platforms?
Isinasentralisa ng SSO ang pag-sign in at hinahayaan ang IdP na ipatupad ang mga patakaran gaya ng MFA at conditional access. Nangangailangan pa rin ang access sa Threada ng kasalukuyang user at tenant role na pinamamahalaan ng Admin.

Ang evidence citation ay gawain ng pagkakabit ng verifiable source references sa bawat claim na ginagawa ng AI system. Bawat cited passage ay naka-link pabalik sa document, record, o knowledge asset na pinanggalingan nito, para makumpirma ng tao na grounded ang sagot bago niya ito pagkatiwalaan o aksyunan.

Mga kasingkahulugan: citation, source attribution, evidence linking, answer provenance

Ano ang dapat laman ng citation?
Sa pinakamababa, ang source identifier at eksaktong passage na ginamit; pinakamainam kung may stable link at timestamp para makumpirma ng reviewers na current ang ebidensiya noong ginawa ang sagot.
Bakit mahalaga ang citations para sa governed automation?
Ginagawang auditable ng citations ang sagot. Kung wala nito, hindi accountable ang automated response; kung mayroon, mave-verify ng reviewer ang grounding at mapapatunayan ng audit trail kung anong ebidensiya ang nagtulak sa decision.

A vendor security review is the process by which an organization evaluates the security and compliance posture of a third-party supplier before onboarding and periodically afterward. It typically combines a security questionnaire, evidence collection (SOC 2, ISO, pen-test summaries), and a documented risk decision with an owner and an audit trail.

Mga kasingkahulugan: vendor security assessment, third-party security review, third-party risk assessment, vendor risk review

What is the difference between a vendor security review and a security questionnaire?
The questionnaire is one input; the review is the whole process. A vendor security review gathers questionnaire responses plus supporting evidence, assesses residual risk, records a decision and its owner, and schedules re-review — so the questionnaire is the data, the review is the governed workflow around it.
How often should vendor security reviews happen?
Most programs review a vendor at onboarding and then on a risk-based cadence — annually for higher-risk vendors, or when scope, data access, or the vendor's controls change. Keeping each review as an auditable record makes the next cycle a re-check rather than a restart.

Ang vertical pack ay packaged configuration na inaangkop ang platform sa partikular na domain ng trabaho — intents, extraction fields, evidence sources, policies, at actions nito. Pinahihintulutan ng packs ang team na mag-launch ng focused workflow, gaya ng IT access o vendor security, nang hindi binubuo muli ang underlying engine.

Mga kasingkahulugan: pack, vertical pack, solution pack, domain pack

Ano ang kino-configure ng vertical pack?
Ang intents na kinikilala nito, fields na kinukuha nito, ebidensiyang pinagg-groundan ng answers, approval policies na ipinapatupad nito, at governed actions na maaari nitong imungkahi para sa domain ng trabaho.
Maaari bang i-customize ang packs?
Oo. Ang pack ay starting configuration na inaangkop ng teams sa Studio — ina-adjust ang intents, prompts, evidence sources, at policies — para tumugma sa tunay nilang proseso.

Ang work packet ay bundle ng context na binubuo sa paligid ng WorkItem para mapag-isipan at maaksyunan ito: ang orihinal na request, extracted fields, retrieved evidence, applicable policy, at anumang proposed actions. Ito ang kumpleto at self-contained briefing para sa isang piraso ng trabaho.

Mga kasingkahulugan: work bundle, context packet, task packet, work context

Paano naiiba ang work packet sa WorkItem?
Ang WorkItem ang tracked record ng request mismo. Ang work packet ang assembled context — ebidensiya, policy, at proposals — na kinakalap sa paligid ng record para magtulak ng sagot o action.
Bakit ibinubundle ang context sa packet?
Pinahihintulutan ng self-contained packet ang model o reviewer na magdesisyon nang hindi naghahanap sa iba't ibang systems, at pinapanatili nito kung anong ebidensiya ang available sa decision time para sa audit trail.

Ang WorkItem ang unit of work sa Threada: isang inbound request — mula sa email, chat, document, o form — na ni-normalize bilang structured at trackable record. Bawat WorkItem ay may intent, extracted fields, ebidensiya, at kumpletong history ng bawat decision at action na ginawa dito.

Mga kasingkahulugan: work item, task record, tracked request, unit of work

Paano naiiba ang WorkItem sa support ticket?
Karaniwang sinusubaybayan ng ticket ang conversation. Sinusubaybayan ng WorkItem ang mismong trabaho: classified intent, extracted fields, ebidensiyang nagg-ground sa anumang sagot, at governed actions na ginawa — lahat auditable end to end.
Anong lifecycle ang dinadaanan ng WorkItem?
Nino-normalize ng intake ang request, niruruta ito ng intent classification, nagg-ground ng proposed response ang evidence retrieval, at dumadaan sa approval policy ang anumang action bago maresolba at ma-record ang WorkItem.
