1. To replace the need for any later impact assessment on the finished production AI system.

   Plausible but wrong: documentation supports assessments but does not replace the required impact assessment (III.A.2).
2. To satisfy the marketing team's request for promotional performance claims.

   Almost right in that documents get reused, but the objective's purpose is compliance and risk, not marketing.
3. To establish compliance and manage risks by recording the design and build decisions. ✓

   Correct because III.A.5 states the design-and-build process is documented to establish compliance and manage risks.
4. To transfer all legal liability for the model onto the third-party vendor.

   Plausible but wrong: documentation does not reassign liability, which is governed by contracts and roles.
