SERiF defines a so-called "model" subsystem. A model is a fully compile-time description of a problem. Note that this is a description not an evaluation tool. The basic idea is that since we have this robust description we can more easily serialize and be confident that others who load a model are getting the exact same thing. Further, this provides a convient place to do things like validate that all options are compatible, do some limited initial construction of the needed computational graph, allocate needed memory, etc... Some of the stuff that might initially seem to belong to a model will be in the discritization system though (e.g. FEM object lifetimes)
