When documenting information about machine learning (ML) models, which of the following artifacts BEST helps...

Themodel cardis a governance artifact that communicatesintended use, performance characteristics, limitations, fairness considerations, and ethical notesof an ML model.

AAISM governance materials highlight thatstakeholder trustcomes from transparency and explainability. While hyperparameters and data quality controls are technical details, they lack stakeholder-facing clarity. Model prototyping is part of development but not a governance record.

Model cards are explicitly recommended to:

Provideexplainabilityand context for decision-making.

Demonstrate governance, transparency, and compliance.

Enable stakeholders (regulators, auditors, business leaders) to trust the system.

Therefore, themodel cardis the artifact that best enhances trust.
