Institutional AI Definitions

Operational definitions for governance-aware AI modernization.

Halyard definitions are written for institutional modernization work. They are not generic glossary entries; they clarify how AI terms connect to workflows, governance, procurement readiness, accessibility, human review, and Discovery planning.

Operational Framing

Definitions should reduce ambiguity before implementation begins.

Institutional AI terms become useful when they shape operating decisions: who reviews outputs, which workflows are appropriate, what data is ready, where escalation belongs, and how procurement or deployment should be sequenced.

The definitions below help teams connect language to governance-aware modernization, not hype-driven tool selection.
