MP-3.1 Potential benefits of intended AI system functionality and performance are examined and documented

Potential benefits of intended AI system functionality and performance are examined and documented. Claimed benefits are examined and written down rather than assumed, so they can later be weighed against measured costs and residual risk.

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.
