COMPEL Glossary / GL-64

Control Coverage Percentage

The ratio of implemented and evidenced governance controls to required controls under a given standard or regulatory framework — for example ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, or the EU AI Act.

What this means in practice

Control coverage is computed per framework and per AI system, and only controls with current, verified evidence count as implemented, so the number is a true operational readiness signal rather than a self-attested checklist.

Context in the COMPEL framework

A core metric of the Compliance dimension. Produced in Evaluate and used by audit-readiness reviews in Learn.

Where you see this

Control Coverage Percentage is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Evaluate and Learn stages — especially within the Agent Governance layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
