Explains records classification by business activity
A file plan classifies records by function and activity, not by system or format, so retention, access and disposition follow the activity (ISO 15489-1:2016 8.3).
Can AI do this?
AI does this well Most of the tested AI models master this. 3 of 4 models in the current benchmark master it.
| Model | Tier | Probability of mastery | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-4-argon | Flagship | 100% | Mastered |
| gemini-3.5-flash-lite | Low cost | 100% | Not shown |
| gpt-6-luna | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
| claude-haiku-5-5 | Low cost | 100% | Mastered |
Mastered means a probability of at least 90% that the model has this knobit, estimated from its graded answers. “Not shown” means the answers do not settle it either way. How the models are tested.
