Operational architecture

PALO Platform Map

Find the next governance decision, the module that supports it, and the artifact the accountable team should retain. This operational atlas keeps the PALO platform release, independently versioned components, delivery state, evidence class and unresolved research visibly separate.

What changed across the platform

Each phase is assessed laterally across platform behavior, interface exposure, user workflow, and remaining risk. Labels describe the delivered capability, not certification or regulatory completeness.

Implemented

Deterministic validation, allowlisted build, release manifest, and deployable dist.

Shared assets use one release identifier; no new operating workflow.

Broken files, fragments, metadata, and mixed asset versions block release.

External services and hosting headers remain outside GitHub Pages control.

Implemented

Versioned Case File and Evidence Bundle with local import, merge, handoff, and export.

Onboarding, Assessment Path, and PALO-AM expose case and evidence controls.

A case can move from orientation to assessment, simulation, and board review.

Browser storage is not encrypted collaboration or an assurance repository.

Foundation

Structured starter libraries, worked cases, templates, contracts, and connector patterns.

Artifacts are public and linked, but no live connector or library-management UI is claimed.

Teams can begin from consistent records instead of inventing formats independently.

Thresholds and examples require local calibration and accountable source review.

Implemented

Public topology plus navigation entities and relations in the primary Explorer.

Intent filters, status ledger, graph mode, inspector properties, and table fallback.

Visitors can start from a decision or artifact instead of guessing a page name.

The map improves discovery; it does not automate governance judgment or prove completeness.

Implemented

Versioned semantic spine, twelve control packs, 31 controls, 38 indicators and ten evidence-contract families with a digest-bound release inventory.

Semantic Inspector and Platform Map expose identity, definition version, evidence class and authority boundary.

Canonical definitions, source context, local previews and review-required signals remain visibly distinct.

Governance completeness is validated; operating effectiveness, production readiness, applicability and approval remain accountable decisions.

Decision-to-artifact routes

Navigate by stakeholder intent

Choose a stakeholder, lifecycle phase, delivery state, or evidence class. Every route names a destination module, the record it should help produce, and its authority boundary.

Knowledge profiles

Knowledge Reader: canonical-only, stateless and read-only. Its code and deployment profile are production-candidate; deployment-specific live qualification is still required.

Knowledge Curator: a separate persistent profile for immutable local draft and review operations. It does not inherit Reader qualification or status.

PolicyWatcher and incident signals

PALO exposes a local PolicyWatcher signal import. PolicyWatcher provides public event and signal surfaces. Signals remain non-authoritative until primary-source and relevance review.

The optional external agentic incident provider is metadata-only, provider-neutral and disabled by default. It is not a live runtime dependency.

Research boundary

What remains research

PALO provides educational governance support and portable evidence structures. These areas remain open programs, not completed product claims.

Research

Validation of control effectiveness and KPI/KRI thresholds across sectors and jurisdictions.
Certification, conformity assessment, legal interpretation, and regulatory-completeness claims.
Authenticated multi-user collaboration, encrypted custody, signatures, and production GRC synchronization.
Empirical evaluation of agentic tiers, human-agency effects, and long-horizon monitoring outcomes.
Automated source applicability or freshness decisions without accountable human review.
