Overview
A living design document for automated compliance assessment in cloud-native systems.
What Is This?#
This repo is a living design document exploring how compliance assessment becomes automated, continuous, and trustworthy at scale.
What’s Here#
- docs/vision.md — What automated compliance assessment should become and why
- docs/architecture.md — Component vocabulary and relationships
- docs/glossary.md — Canonical definitions for project-specific terms
- docs/problems/ — Deep dives into each technical problem domain:
- Requirement Fidelity — Preserving meaning and rationale as requirements cross functional boundaries
- Evaluator Coupling — Verification logic tied to specific tools and runtimes
- Cross-Framework Mapping — Overlapping requirements across standards with no machine-readable mapping
- Evidence — Fragmented, manual, and opaque compliance evidence
- docs/plans/ — Implementation plans for accepted designs
- docs/ADRs/ — Architecture Decision Records for crystallized decisions
- docs/guides/ — Practical how-to documentation
How To Contribute#

Where Does My Contribution Go?#
| If you have… | Then… |
|---|---|
| A question, bug, or small suggestion | File an issue — lowest friction, can graduate later. |
| A new problem area no existing doc covers | Create a problem doc in docs/problems/ and link it here. |
| More to say about an existing problem area | Expand the existing problem doc. |
| A specific decision that needs a yes-or-no answer | Propose an ADR in docs/ADRs/ via a pull request. |
| An accepted design ready for execution | Write a plan in docs/plans/. |
When in doubt, start with an issue.
