Enterprise Readiness & Maturity

Governance Readiness

Four readiness tiers mapped to subsystem presence. TVAM-lite chain verification. Core subsystem compliance. Pilot onboarding requirements.

Current Tier FULL 18 / 18
Readiness Tiers Deterministic: derived from subsystem presence only
● current tier full Full
all 18 subsystems present

All 7A–7S subsystems are present. Maximum governance coverage: code audit, policy, evidence, federation, identity, reporting, and enterprise workspace.

partial Partial
4 core + ≥ 10 total present

All core subsystems are present plus at least 10 of the 18 total. Sufficient for enterprise pilots with some optional modules deferred.

minimal Minimal
all 4 core present

The 4 core subsystems are present: signing, aggregate_vault, policy_registry, control_plane. Baseline governance posture, suitable for initial deployment.

none None
not all 4 core present

One or more core subsystems are absent. Not suitable for enterprise deployment. Run vai enterprise explain --topic readiness for gap analysis.

Core Subsystem Compliance All 4 core must be present for tier minimal or above

Score is advisory and capped at 100. Posture state (READY/PARTIAL/DEGRADED/BLOCKED/QUARANTINE_ADVISED) is determined by rule-based logic, not this score.

Pilot Onboarding Flow Typical enterprise deployment sequence
# 1. Initialize workspace
vai enterprise workspace-init
# 2. Check posture
vai enterprise posture
# 3. Generate unified readiness token
vai enterprise readiness-token
# 4. Export design partner bundle
vai enterprise export-bundle --bundle-type design_partner_bundle
# 5. Explain posture for reviewer
vai enterprise explain --topic posture --format markdown
# 6. Verify workspace integrity

INVARIANT authoritative_for_wiw = false. Readiness tiers are advisory. This system never issues binding governance verdicts. Use readiness tier as evidence for human decisions.
