Answer.
It tracks data sensitivity: IL4 covers CUI and non-critical mission data, IL5 covers higher-sensitivity CUI and unclassified National Security Systems, and IL6 covers information classified up to SECRET. The right level is set by the data your AI workload handles and the contracting requirement, not by the model itself. Planisphere runs the audit inside whichever accredited boundary applies, with no egress; it measures model behaviour and does not assign your Impact Level.
The mark behind the answer.
Impact Levels 5-6 · NSS + Classified-to-Secret · air-gapped delivery.
