the proof register
What we cannot prove
A gap is on this register when the estate makes a claim it cannot independently prove today. more
Not one source system is connected, so every other row on this register is read from a modeled copy of the enterprise rather than the enterprise.
Where the admissions land
every seat with a gap routed to it, worst first
15 admissions
The register
Each row names the claim as the estate makes it elsewhere, the figure behind it, the part that holds, the part that does not, and what closing it would take. more
The platform reads the enterprise.
What holds
The registry names all 26 systems the estate would have to read, states who owns each one, and states the freshness each one would have to commit to. more
What does not hold
Not one of them is connected. more
The working
What closing it takes
Connect one system end to end more
The effort
One integration, one page, one re-publication. more
not costed
Blocked behind
Held by the prototype constraint. more
What holds
19 routes are designed to the field level, and 45 attempts have been recorded against them, which is why the estate can say exactly where a write would fail.
What does not hold
No route is live. 6 are blocked or refused outright. more
The working
What closing it takes
Take the single least contested route to production behind a reversal path, and prove one closure in a source system.
The effort
One route, one reversible write, one audit trail on both sides.
not costed
Blocked behind
Depends on the feed gap above. more
The programme has delivered benefit.
What holds
$352.2m across the lines that carry a verification method is tied out three ways - ledger tie-out, sample re-performance and driver reconciliation - and posted to a journal. more
What does not hold
465 of 655 benefit lines carry no verification method at all, and $1.20bn is claimed against $988.3m realized and $352.2m verified. 71 percent of the register is an assertion. more
The working
What closing it takes
Stop publishing a claimed total. more
The effort
A reporting decision first, then verification work on the lines worth verifying. more
not costed
Nothing blocks it
This closure can start today. Nothing else has to move first.
The work has been checked.
What holds
251 checks exist and each one names an author, a checker and a method, so the estate can say who looked at what. more
What does not hold
Only 62 of them were performed by somebody independent of the team that did the work. more
The working
What closing it takes
Route the twenty highest-value claims to a checker with no reporting line into the function that produced them.
The effort
Twenty checks by a second party. more
not costed
Nothing blocks it
This closure can start today. Nothing else has to move first.
Controls are in place.
What holds
10 controls have been tested and found effective, and 47 tests are on the record with their results, including the failures.
What does not hold
7 controls were tested and failed, and 7 have never been sampled at all. more
The working
What closing it takes
Sample the untested controls. more
The effort
7 samples and 7 redesign decisions.

Segregation of duties is managed.
What holds
385 conflicts have been detected by rule, each naming the holder, the two duties and the evidence for both. more
What does not hold
291 of them are still in the state the detector left them in. 94 have moved to remediation or mitigation and none has been proven closed in a source system … more
The working
What closing it takes
Pick the conflicts that carry spend authority on both sides and clear those first, in the source system, with the access change evidenced.
The effort
Access changes in the owning systems. The register cannot close them from here.
not costed
Blocked behind
Depends on write-back. A conflict closed on this platform is not closed.
Gaps are being worked.
What holds
23 entries name a gap, an owner, a due date and the records behind it. more
What does not hold
Not one entry has ever been closed. more
The working
What closing it takes
Close one. Any one. Then publish the closure evidence beside the entry so the register has a worked example of what closure looks like here.
The effort
One entry taken to evidenced completion.

Nothing blocks it
This closure can start today. Nothing else has to move first.
The operating positions are agreed.
What holds
Every position names an author, a challenger, a ratifier, a confidence, its assumptions and the conditions under which it breaks. more
What does not hold
148 positions are not ratified, and only 61 of 209 have ever been checked against what actually happened. more
The working
What closing it takes
Run the outcome check on the positions that have already passed their break conditions, and record the verdict even where the verdict is that the position failed.
The effort
An outcome verdict written against each checked position.

The published week ties to the ledger year.
What holds
The ledger and the published week are both real rows and both are shown. more
What does not hold
The ledger holds 365 days, which is 52.14 weeks, not 52. Dividing an annual population by a weekly one therefore does not return 52, and any page that implies the year ties to the week is overstating the tie. more
The working
What closing it takes
State the ledger period in weeks wherever an annual figure is published, and stop describing the ledger as a year.
The effort
A labeling change on every page that annualizes. No new data is required.
not costed
Nothing blocks it
This closure can start today. Nothing else has to move first.
The numbers on this platform are measured.
What holds
Every published figure declares whether it is measured, modeled or derived, and the declaration is shown beside the number rather than in a footnote.
What does not hold
10 of 18 headline figures are modeled or derived. more
The working
What closing it takes
Move the three most-quoted modeled figures onto a measured basis, in order of how often an executive repeats them outside the platform.
The effort
Three figures re-based. Everything else can stay declared as modeled.
not costed
Blocked behind
Depends on the feed gap. A measured basis needs a connected source.
Service levels are held.
What holds
23 service levels carry a measurement and an attainment figure, and the register names the counterparty and the penalty on each one.
What does not hold
5 commitments are held against nothing. more
The working
What closing it takes
Measure the unmeasured commitments that carry a penalty, and renegotiate or retire the ones that cannot be measured.
The effort
5 commitments to instrument or retire.

Nothing blocks it

The data underneath is sound.
What holds
Breaks are detected rather than absorbed, quarantine is a real state with 171 items in it, and nothing in quarantine is silently included in a published figure.
What does not hold
70 reconciliation breaks and 58 baseline gaps are open. more
The working
What closing it takes
Clear the baseline gaps that sit under a claimed benefit line before clearing anything else. more
The effort
58 baselines to establish or the matching claims to withdraw.
not costed
Nothing blocks it
This closure can start today. Nothing else has to move first.
The estate can be attested to.
What holds
12 attestations exist with a named signer and a period, and 22 coverage statements say what each one does and does not cover.
What does not hold
An attestation on this platform attests to the platform's own record. more
The working
What closing it takes
Have one attestation period countersigned by a party outside the estate, with the independent checks that support it named inside it.
The effort
One period, one external signature, and the checks to stand behind it.
not costed
Blocked behind
Depends on the independence gap above.
What holds
460 evaluation runs and 19 adversarial findings are on the record, with the findings kept rather than closed out.
What does not hold
The evaluation surface and the risk-classified surface are not the same surface. more
The working
What closing it takes
Point the next round of adversarial testing at the risk-classified agents specifically, and publish the overlap rather than the volume.
The effort
A targeting change on the existing test programme.
not costed
Nothing blocks it
This closure can start today. Nothing else has to move first.
The estate knows what closing these gaps would cost.
What holds
The estate holds a build cost for every piece of software it has decided to build, line by line, and publishes the ones it recommends rejecting alongside the ones it recommends buying.
What does not hold
It holds nothing at all for the cost of proving what it has already built. more
The working
What closing it takes
Size the closure work on the blocking rows only, and bring it to the same approval gate as the build portfolio rather than treating assurance as overhead.
The effort
A sizing exercise on the blocking rows. Everything else can wait.

On the cost of closing
On ownership
Every figure on this page was counted at page load from the same rows the owning page reads. more
Where this page is used
the register is the thing the other two pages are read against
Actions
What is waiting on a person
The register does not hold work items. more
Price the closures
Every effort column on the register is a description of work rather than a number. more
Put the material admissions through challenge
These survive as claims but a challenger would move them. more
Close the blocking admissions before the next signature
Each of these sits underneath a claim the estate currently asks an executive to act on. more
Get the Audit Committee and Chief Risk Officer to accept the routing
The owner on each row is where the platform would send the evidence. more
Operations
What this desk is allowed to start
A surface that only reports is not operable. more
Trigger and bound
This page starts nothing. more
Live observability
What the record shows right now
15 admissions counted at page load across 6 chairs. more
Current distribution
15 admissions
Is policy and strategy coming to fruition
Whether the written intent is holding here
Policy says prove it. more
Not holding on the record
The estate publishes 15 admissions against itself, 6 of them blocking, and holds a price for 0. A register that names the gap and never funds the closure is an act of honesty rather than an act of governance. more
