Model Card

A short standard document stating what a model is for, how it was evaluated, and where it fails.

A model card records intended use, out-of-scope use, training data at a high level, evaluation results, and known limitations. Its most valuable section is the one teams skip: the limitations. It has moved from a research norm toward a compliance expectation under both NIST and EU frameworks.

In practice: ‘Evaluated on English only. Not validated for medical decisions.’
