Frequently Asked Questions
What gets recorded in the Posture Forfeiture Log?
Every deterioration event in AI identity infrastructure — what broke (schema errors, stale claims, registry conflicts), when it was detected, what remediation was taken, and whether the metric recovered — creating an auditable history of entity authority governance.
Who owns the Posture Forfeiture Log?
It is a governance document owned at the organizational level — typically by the entity authority program lead — and reviewed quarterly alongside Entity Authority Score assessments and Structured Data Entropy Rate reports.
How does the log prevent silent decay?
By requiring documented detection and remediation for every deterioration event, it prevents the common failure mode where infrastructure degradation goes unnoticed across multiple quarters until CPQ decline becomes visible — by which point significant competitive damage has occurred.
