Working definitions for the terms used throughout CodeSaudi. Follow each one into the guide that puts it into practice.

See it in contextA structured review of evidence, documents, counterparties, and unresolved risks. Its purpose is to support an informed decision, not to guarantee a result or remove uncertainty.
See it in contextA limited product used to test a specific business or user assumption. Define what it needs to demonstrate and what remains outside scope rather than using the term to excuse a broken experience.
See it in contextA scoped experiment with agreed participants, duration, data, support, and success questions. A positive pilot can inform the next decision without proving the product is ready for every customer.
See it in contextThe Saudi personal data protection framework discussed in our developer checklist. Engineers should provide accurate data-flow and control evidence; qualified reviewers should determine applicable legal obligations.
See it in contextA pattern in which an application retrieves relevant material to support a generated answer. Retrieval does not by itself ensure that a response is correct or that a user is authorized to see the source.
