Use cases

Organize your Deployments at a higher level with use cases. Define risk classifications aligned with the EU AI Act and track your use case through lifecycle stages. Filter use cases based on their lifecycle stage or risk classification from the use cases page.

Manage use cases

Add new use cases and assign Deployments to them in two ways:

1. Manual: Create a use case on the use cases page first, then assign it when you create or update your Deployment
2. Automatic: Create a Deployment without selecting an existing use case, and we'll automatically create one using your Deployment's name

Remember that all use case names must be unique within your Workspace, and you cannot delete a use case that contains Deployments.

Use case details

Lifecycle stage progression

Track and advance your use case through four stages:

• Exploration
• Development
• Validation
• Production

tip

Progress through stages in a disciplined manner. Move one step forward or backward at a time, without skipping stages:

• Permitted: development → validation, production → validation
• Not permitted: exploration → validation, production → exploration

Risk classification

Assign a risk classification to a use case. The available classifications are based on the EU AI Act.

See all active Deployments part of the use case in one centralized location.

Controls

If a control framework is applied to the Workspace, a list of controls will be displayed. The list is based on controls relevant to the use case risk classification and lifecycle stage. For example, if the use case is in the validation stage, controls relevant to both the exploration and validation stages are shown.

Click View all controls to see all controls for this use case, including those for future stages. You can complete or provide evidence for future stage controls in advance. However, they will not count towards your framework completion.

Completing controls

Provide evidence for controls using checks and supporting evidence. Provide supporting evidence in the Markdown editor and Save.

To change the control status:

• Submit supporting evidence to automatically change status to 'In progress'
• Click Mark as completed to complete a control
• Click Mark as in progress to reopen a completed control when needed

Only completed controls count towards the use case framework completion.

info

Controls can be completed irrespectively of the use case stage they belong to
