A model card summarizing the model's intended use: Which artifact should they produce?
A model card is the standardized release artifact conveying a model's intended use, performance and limitations to downstream users.
The question
A model has passed its tests and the team is preparing it for release into production. As part of assessing readiness, they want a standardized document that communicates the model's intended use, performance and limitations to downstream users. Which artifact should they produce?

- A model card summarizing the model's intended use, evaluation results, known limitations and conditions for appropriate deployment. ✓Correct because a model card is the standardized release artifact conveying intended use, performance and limitations, which is exactly what release readiness calls for.
- A data processing agreement setting out the contractual terms under which a processor may handle personal data on the controller's documented instructions.Plausible because such agreements matter for data governance, but they govern processor relationships, not the model's intended use, performance and limitations at release.
- A business continuity plan describing how the organization will keep critical operations running and recover services during a major disruption or outage.Plausible because continuity planning is sound governance, but it addresses operational resilience, not the model-specific disclosures a release readiness step requires.
- A software bill of materials enumerating the third-party libraries and components bundled into the deployed application for supply-chain visibility.Plausible because a bill of materials aids supply-chain governance, but it lists dependencies rather than the model's intended use, performance and limitations.
The trap
Choosing a general governance document (processing agreement, continuity plan, bill of materials) instead of the model card that discloses the model's intended use and limitations. How to remember it
A model card is the standardized release artifact conveying a model's intended use, performance and limitations to downstream users.
