Organizations feel an urgency to develop and implement applications based on foundation
models: AI-models that have been trained on large-scale general data and can be finetuned to
domain-specific tasks. In this process organizations face many questions, regarding model
training and deployment, but also concerning added business value, implementation risks and
governance. They express a need for guidance to answer these questions in a suitable and
responsible way. We intend to offer such guidance by the question matrix presented in this paper.
The question matrix is adjusted from the model card, to match well with development of AIapplications
rather than AI-models. First pilots with the question matrix revealed that it elicited
discussions among developers and helped developers explicate their choices and intentions
during development.
