AI CORE / DOCUMENTATION

From scope to remediation

A profile provides a repeatable reference. A specific assessment requires an agreed scope and appropriate professional methods.

1. Agree scope and authorization

The operator and assessor identify the system, time window, access, prohibited actions, contact procedure and stopping conditions. A public interface or published profile is not permission to perform penetration testing, exhaust capacity or trigger paid operations.

2. Select applicable controls

Pin an exact profile version. Record applicability and its reason for every item. Identify assessor extensions with their own identifiers and provenance; they do not retrospectively alter the published profile.

3. Obtain and examine evidence

Assessment may combine documentation review, interviews, configuration review and authorized tests. Source code is not necessary for every assessment, but external observations may only partially substitute for it for some claims. If access is insufficient, the result must remain limited.

4. Formulate the result

Every conclusion must refer to a method, evidence and scope. A model recommendation must not silently become a professional opinion. The assessor is responsible for the adequacy of the conclusion; AI CORE does not prescribe a favorable result.

5. Remediation and reassessment

A finding should state its impact, responsibility for remediation and the condition for reassessment. A new observation relates to a new snapshot. The original record remains preserved so that the change and its effectiveness can be traced.

Example of public use

An external assessor retrieves a profile, obtains the system's available evidence through its documented interface and checks consistency. Controls beyond public reading require agreement. The report states which requirements were assessed, which were not and why. The assessor's choice of program or model is not restricted to AI CORE.
