# Model Inadequacy
**Entity class:** Uncertainty And Evidentiary Layer concept
**Model Inadequacy** is a concept in the uncertainty and evidentiary of the counterterrorism predictive-graph ontology. Model Inadequacy belongs in the ontology because AI can compute over this structure while analysts retain responsibility for interpretation and authorized action.
## Counterterrorism predictive-graph role
Its controls are part of the computational trust fabric, not peripheral paperwork: permissions, provenance, purpose, and auditability must remain machine-enforceable across systems. The analytic state should distinguish ground truth, observed evidence, inferred state, and predicted state.
