Model Card Template (validation & disclosure)

{ "Title": "Model Card Template (validation & disclosure)", "IntroductionHtml": "

This interactive model card template helps teams capture consistent, audit-ready documentation about a model's purpose, data, evaluation, limitations, fairness checks, monitoring, and ownership. Use it to support validation, governance, and operational handoff. Fields marked required are essential for model approval.
