Scope Assessment

• Evidence Strength: high
• Confidence: high
• Applies to: ideas-to-life-cas

Rationale

• Intent: Give governance semantics a stable, inspectable data representation rather than ad-hoc dictionaries or function-local state.
• Context: A governance subsystem that tracks inventories, risks, health, compliance findings, and executable actions.
• Force: Governance state must be inspectable and testable
• Force: Metrics and findings need consistent fields
• Force: Actions and outcomes need to be distinguishable from raw inputs
