I · The Map
Every domain where capital moves.
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%
Technology and Cloud
Where the bulk of variable-rate capital flows in the modern enterprise.
ai-compute
10%
AI and Advanced Compute
The capital intensity of intelligence.
data-analytics
8%
Data and Analytics
The flow of bytes from generation through warehouse, lake, and consumption.
saas-vendor
8%
SaaS and Vendor Spend
Every monthly subscription, every per-seat contract, every renewal that auto-renews under the radar.
workforce
7%
Workforce and Talent
Headcount is the largest single capital line in most institutions and the most poorly attributed.
procurement
6%
Procurement and Sourcing
The institutional gate between capital intent and capital outflow.
product-delivery
7%
Product and Delivery
Where capital becomes product.
operations-execution
6%
Operations and Execution
The day-to-day of running the institution.
supply-chain
5%
Supply Chain and Logistics
For every institution that touches a physical good, a partner, or a third-party API at scale.
customer-revenue
6%
Customer and Revenue
The capital that comes back.
II · The Spectrum
Where you actually are. Where you can be.
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
Resource Tagging and Attribution
UFMS · Tag CoverageWhere 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
Ship the next move. With evidence.
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
Pick your seat.
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
Tools that pace your work.
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.
AI Coach
Three next moves, ranked by projected Score V2 lift, against the institution’s current state.
Open →Simulation
What-if modelling for any playbook. Score, cost, and carbon deltas with a confidence band.
Open →Impact
Cohort statistics across institutions. Honest empty state when the sample is too thin to publish.
Open →Intelligence
Briefings on the playbooks adopted in your peer cohort, with the deltas they observed.
Open →VI · The Bureau
Open. Signed. Audit-grade.
Every published playbook ships under a permissive licence, witnessed by a cryptographic signature, and governed by the IFO4 Standards Council.
CC-BY-4.0 Licence
Every playbook, template, and reference is published under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0. Reuse is welcome. Attribution is required.
Sigstore Signed Evidence
Completed evidence is signed using the IFO4 KMS key via Sigstore so any external verifier can independently confirm the artefact and its date.
Standards Council Governance
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.
