# Lifecycle View

The stages in this view represent high-level sequential steps of a typical ML workflow. Following the widely-used Cross-industry standard process for data mining ([CRISP-DM](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-industry_standard_process_for_data_mining)) framework, we designate six stages in this view.

| ID  | Stage                  |
| --- | ---------------------- |
| L01 | Business Understanding |
| L02 | Data Understanding     |
| L03 | Data Preparation       |
| L04 | Model Development      |
| L05 | Evaluation             |
| L06 | Deployment             |

Figure T.2 reconciles the two different views of the AVID taxonomy. We conceptually represent the potential space of risks in three dimensions, consisting of the risk domain—S, E, or P—a specific vuln pertains to; the (sub)category within a chosen domain; and the development lifecycle stage of a vuln. The SEP and lifecycle views are simply two different sections of this three-dimensional space.
