MP-1.3 The organization's mission and relevant goals for the AI technology are understood and documented

The organization’s mission and relevant goals for the AI technology are understood and documented. The system's connection to a stated organisational goal is written down, which is what makes a go or no-go decision reviewable later.

where the evidence lives
teal = a system already holds it · olive = produced at each review. To go live: easy when half or more of the artefacts are already held by a system, moderate from a quarter to a half, hard below a quarter.

These are the artefacts auditors commonly ask for on this requirement, our guidance rather than text from the standard. Your assessor decides what is sufficient in your context, and asks for samples across the period when a report covers one.

First move

No system holds this evidence for you: it is people and documents. Reminders and routing to the owner still save time. Put the document under version control with an owner and review date, and log each review as a record with reviewer and date.
