## **Glossary**

Common terms across CIM and how we use them. We've tried to match construction-industry usage, but a few terms are CIM-specific.

| **Term**          | **Definition**                                                                                                                                             |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Gate**          | A bundle of checks that runs together. See [Concepts](https://claude.ai/epitaxy/local_e46013f7-053a-46ae-8e3e-fa744cbbf5b5#concepts-how-cim-is-organised). |
| **Check**         | A single question the AI asks of your documents.                                                                                                           |
| **Finding**       | A flagged item — something the AI thinks is worth your attention.                                                                                          |
| **Register**      | The unified list of all findings + any manual items you've added.                                                                                          |
| **Change**        | A difference between two revisions of the same drawing. Lives in the Change Register.                                                                      |
| **Template**      | A reusable bundle of checks you can apply across projects. Org-level or project-level.                                                                     |
| **Discipline**    | Architectural, Structural, Hydraulic, Electrical, etc. CIM uses this to filter and group.                                                                  |
| **Health check**  | A gate that validates your document set before you run real reviews.                                                                                       |
| **Citation**      | The drawing/page reference the AI used to support a finding. Always click through to verify.                                                               |
| **Hallucination** | When the AI flags something incorrectly. Roughly 1 in 4 findings will be a false positive — always verify.                                                 |
| **Bounding box**  | A drawn region the AI highlights on a drawing. Used in detection and markup tools.                                                                         |
| **Archive**       | Hides a finding from the active register without deleting it. Archived findings can be restored.                                                           |
