I · The Map
Capital does not respect organisational charts. It moves across technology, AI, data, vendors, talent, supply chain, governance, and outcome. 13 domains, organised in three layers.
technology
16%
Where the bulk of variable-rate capital flows in the modern enterprise.
ai-compute
10%
The capital intensity of intelligence.
data-analytics
8%
The flow of bytes from generation through warehouse, lake, and consumption.
saas-vendor
8%
Every monthly subscription, every per-seat contract, every renewal that auto-renews under the radar.
workforce
7%
Headcount is the largest single capital line in most institutions and the most poorly attributed.
procurement
6%
The institutional gate between capital intent and capital outflow.
product-delivery
7%
Where capital becomes product.
operations-execution
6%
The day-to-day of running the institution.
supply-chain
5%
For every institution that touches a physical good, a partner, or a third-party API at scale.
customer-revenue
6%
The capital that comes back.
II · The Spectrum
Every capital capability lives somewhere on the same five-stop spectrum. The most relatable starting point: tag coverage. Find your stop, then find the playbook that moves you up one.
Featured Capability
Where capital escapes silently.
Resources are provisioned with no tags.
After the fact, with effort.
Tag policies exist on paper.
Documented and repeatable.
Tags are required at provisioning time for the top three resource types.
Continuous and instrumented.
Policy-as-code blocks any non-compliant provisioning at the gate.
Embedded into provisioning itself.
No untagged resource can exist.
Honest assessment is the first practice.
III · The Playbooks
Each playbook names the problem, the detection, the outcome, the steps, the templates, the evidence, and the projected impact on Score V2. Reusable, executable, attestable.
5 playbooks published · more in active authoring
IV · By Role
The platform is general. Your first thirty seconds is not. Choose the seat you sit in and the platform reorganises itself around your concerns.
V · The Engines
Four engines that read from the playbook catalog and your institutional state. Each opens directly. Each surfaces an honest empty state when the inputs are not yet present.
Three next moves, ranked by projected Score V2 lift, against the institution’s current state.
Open →What-if modelling for any playbook. Score, cost, and carbon deltas with a confidence band.
Open →Cohort statistics across institutions. Honest empty state when the sample is too thin to publish.
Open →Briefings on the playbooks adopted in your peer cohort, with the deltas they observed.
Open →VI · The Bureau
Every published playbook ships under a permissive licence, witnessed by a cryptographic signature, and governed by the IFO4 Standards Council.
Every playbook, template, and reference is published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Reuse is welcome. Attribution is required.
Completed evidence is signed using the IFO4 KMS key via Sigstore so any external verifier can independently confirm the artefact and its date.
Schema changes are ratified by the Standards Council. Every playbook references a specific RING control and the UFMS tag set it depends on.
If capital moves there, IFO4 has a domain for it.
