- Assessment & Planning - gap analysis and decision framework to define scope.
- Models & Frameworks - metadata schema and retention policy models.
- Processes & Handoffs - runbook and stakeholder map for smooth transitions.
- Operations & Execution - automation trigger guide and implementation roadmap.
- Performance & KPIs - KPI dashboard and reporting templates.
- Quality & Compliance - audit checklist and risk exposure matrix.
