# Effect (SEP) View

The domains, categories, and subcategories in this view provide a ‘risk surface’ for the AI artifact being evaluated, may it be a dataset, model, or the whole system. This view contains three top-level domains:

See the individual pages for [Security](/taxonomy/effect-sep-view/security.md), [Ethics](/taxonomy/effect-sep-view/ethics.md), [Performance](/taxonomy/effect-sep-view/performance.md) for more details.
