First Vocabulary

This document defines the first canonical vocabulary for Modelomics.

The Five Terms

1. Modelomics

The overall concept: the practice of allocating AI intelligence efficiently to maximize business value while minimizing unnecessary cost, latency, and complexity.

2. Minimum Effective Intelligence (MEI)

The smallest intelligence required to complete a task successfully.

3. Intelligence Debt

The accumulated waste from over-allocating intelligence.

4. Return on Intelligence (RoI)

Business value generated per unit of intelligence spend.

5. Progressive Intelligence Escalation (PIE)

Escalate only when lower-cost intelligence fails.

How To Use The Vocabulary

• Use Modelomics for the overall concept.
• Use MEI when deciding the minimum intelligence needed for a task.
• Use Intelligence Debt when discussing waste created by over-allocation.
• Use RoI when comparing value created against intelligence spend.
• Use PIE when defining escalation paths and fallback behavior.
