FIRST PUBLIC USE
March 20, 2026
- What it is
- The path an organization travels from not knowing what it runs, to knowing, to preventing new unauthorized deployment faster than it accumulates.
- What it is not
- Not a maturity score and not a certification. It describes a condition, and organizations move backward through it without noticing.
- The evidence it produces
- A ratio: authorized agents over discovered agents, measured on a date, trending.
- Who is accountable
- Whoever owns the intake gate, because that is where the direction of travel is decided.
- The examination question it answers
- Is your authorized population growing faster or slower than your actual population?
