The Broken Enterprise SDLC

Whitepaper · 5,000 words · PDF

Why fragmentation is not solvable by tool integration — and what a governed software evolution system actually has to do differently. Includes the cost model we use with compliance officers to quantify the $500K-$5M annual audit-reconciliation spend.

What's inside

  • The 14 evidence categories SOC 2 Type II auditors ask for — and which ones your current stack can already produce.
  • A reference architecture for Merkle-chained build evidence that doesn't require rewriting your CI.
  • Case study: a mid-size SaaS company cut audit prep from 11 weeks to 9 days.
  • A comparison matrix: platform-engineering build versus governed evolution system.
  • A 90-day rollout plan, designed to land before your next SOC 2 re-audit.
