1. To publish a marketing summary that highlights the model's benchmark scores for prospective buyers.

   Plausible but external promotion is not the governance purpose of internal training/testing records.
2. To capture the pricing and licensing terms negotiated with the third-party data and tooling vendors.

   Plausible but procurement terms are separate from documenting how the model was trained and tested.
3. To record only the final chosen hyperparameters so the exact model can be quickly reproduced later.

   Plausible but reproducibility of settings alone is narrower than validating results, compliance, and risk.
4. To validate results, evidence compliance, and support ongoing management of the model's risks. ✓

   The BoK ties training/testing documentation to validating results, establishing compliance, and managing risks.
