SQ1: Compliance Meta-Model Attributes¶

Problem Investigation¶

Healthcare clauses often combine deterministic constraints and context-dependent judgment. A useful meta-model must preserve legal intent, implementation feasibility, and audit traceability.

Treatment Design¶

Define required meta-model attributes and structural rules.

Candidate Attribute Set¶

• Clause identifier and source reference.
• Requirement intent statement.
• Control type (deterministic or human-judgment required).
• Evidence expectation.
• Enforcement scope (pipeline stage, system boundary, data domain).
• Risk level and impact.
• Stakeholder approval requirement.

Treatment Validation¶

Validate the attribute set by mapping sample clauses and checking:

• semantic fidelity to legal intent,
• implementation clarity for engineering,
• traceability quality for audits.

Iteration Checkpoints¶

• Checkpoint 1: Initial attribute taxonomy.
• Checkpoint 2: Pilot mapping with representative clauses.
• Checkpoint 3: Stakeholder review and refinement.

Evaluation Boundary¶

The model can be validated on representative clause sets during thesis time, not on all possible healthcare regulation combinations.

Evidence Map¶

• Clause mapping examples.
• Attribute decision log.
• Reviewer feedback notes.
• Traceability matrix drafts.

Expected Contribution to Main Question¶

SQ1 defines what the IR must encode so downstream compiler mapping can remain faithful and auditable.
