ITIP Features
ITIP’s capabilities, grouped by functional component. Each section is one component of the product; the entries under it are the capabilities it provides. ITIP is in active design.
Each capability carries the ITIP version that delivers it: v1 is the first delivery scope; v2 is the planned next iteration.

|---|---|---|
| Dashboard | Governance posture overview: definition counts, evaluation health, and recent changes | v2 |
| Activity | Chronological activity log / audit feed of governance events | v2 |
Definition
The authoring core — create and manage the eight GSM primitives and drive the Ascription lifecycle.
| Capability | What it does | Version |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard | Definition activity and health overview | v2 |
| Registry & Inventory | Browse, search, and filter every governed definition | v1 |
| Structures | Create and inspect Structures (systems, services, teams, platform components) | v1 |
| Archetypes | Create and inspect Archetypes — JSON-Schema-typed domain schemas | v1 |

| Mechanisms | Author and inspect Mechanisms (Starlark rules) | v1 |
| Interactions | Wire and inspect Interactions (Effector ↔ Receptor coupling) | v1 |
| Ascription lifecycle | Bring a definition under governance, diff versions, and drive status transitions (DRAFT → … → RETIRED) | v1 |
Evaluation
Appraisal of the governed model — the bilateral appraisal-indicator system, organized by class and zone, plus regulatory compliance views.
| Capability | What it does | Version |
|---|---|---|
| Dashboard | Aggregate appraisal posture across all indicator classes | v2 |
| Findings | Browse findings, overall and per bilateral class | v2 |

| AC · Comitology Compliance | Ascription ↔ Comitology — changes followed the required decision procedure | v2 |
| DD · Directive Coherence | Directive ↔ Directive — Directives are mutually coherent | v2 |
| DN · Operationalization Integrity | Directive ↔ Norm — every Directive is properly operationalized into Norms | v2 |
| NN · Norm Coherence | Norm ↔ Norm — Norms are mutually coherent, with no conflicts | v2 |
| NA · Definition Compliance | Norm ↔ Ascription — in both the meta-governance and governance zones | v2 |
| NX · Execution Compliance | Norm ↔ eXecution — in both the meta-governance and governance zones | v2 |
| Adherence matrix | Regulatory adherence matrix across frameworks and Structures | v2 |
| Conformance | Conformance dashboard — drift of reality against governed intent | v2 |
Frameworks
Browse and compose sourced governance frameworks.
| Capability | What it does | Version |
