Customers don't buy "EMV domain"; they buy "we have ISO 9001, help us with the CRA". The sellable
unit of knowledge is the TRANSITION (from -> to), not the law and not the capability. This reframes
the backlog from "model EMV next" to "the top demanded transitions". No new runtime framework (ADR-010).
- knowledge/programs/transitions.yaml: the Operational Knowledge backlog — the ~20-30 actually demanded
transitions (of ~N*(N-1) possible) with priority. ISO27001->CRA, ISO9001->CRA, ISO9001->MaschinenVO
(all 5-star), IEC62443->CRA, TISAX->CRA, ISO27001/IEC62443->NIS2, ISO14001->Umweltrecht.
- Transition Coverage KPI (reference suite, computed-not-stored): per transition a status DERIVED from
the transition-pattern corpus (reviewed/validated/proven -> Gold, draft -> 🟡, none -> ⚪). Honest
current state: ISO27001->CRA ✅ reviewed, ISO9001->CRA 🟡 draft, rest ⚪. Highest-priority gap =
ISO9001->MaschinenVO (the next Track-B work) — a far stronger product indicator than "EMV 30% modelled".
- Three knowledge layers documented: Regulatory -> Operational (transitions/playbooks/deltas, the
biggest differentiator) -> Verification (Vision V2). A domain is a TRANSITION PROGRAM with two tracks:
Track A breadth (model sources, @Legal-KG/@Execution) + Track B product (transitions/playbooks/RTS
per source, @Reasoning).
- ADR-010: the transition is the unit of knowledge; Transition Coverage KPI; three layers; two tracks.
10 program/transition-contract tests, check-loc 0. Knowledge data + ADR + reference harness =
non-runtime -> no deploy (ADR-001). No new module, no runtime change.

The real bottleneck is domain MODELLING. Phase B is organized as one program with sub-programs per
domain, each run through the SAME 7-stage production line. No new runtime framework, no new module
(ADR-009, Freeze v1.0) — only program data + a derived reporting view.
- Customer enters by INDUSTRY, not regulation: Industry -> Domain Model -> Requirement Sources ->
Requirements -> Capabilities -> ... -> Completeness.
- 7-stage checklist identical for every domain (Domain Model / Requirement Sources / Capability
Registry / Transition Patterns / Playbooks / Reference Scenarios / Completeness) with per-stage
ownership. README generalized to the framework.
- Each domain lists typical_requirement_sources + typical_certifications -> pre-onboarding capability
HYPOTHESIS (the ETO insight; feeds Company 2A as inferred, never confirmed).
- Backlog v1 (by customer value): 1 Industrial Automation, 2 Environmental, 3 Automotive, 4 Medical,
5 Energy. Five domain-definition shells (environmental restructured to the unified shape, law-first
preserved).
- Per-domain KPI is DERIVED from the real corpus (computed-not-stored; sources modelled / transition
patterns / playbooks / reference scenarios), NOT a curated number. Reference suite renders maturity
bars: Industrial Automation 43% (3/7 sources) leads, Environmental 0% (work ahead). Backlog (value)
and KPI (corpus state) are deliberately separated.
- ADR-009: Domain Knowledge Program framework. Honest known refinement: regulation-ID normalization
(CRA vs Cyber Resilience Act) aliased in the KPI.
7 program-contract tests (backlog order + industry-first + derived-not-stored), check-loc 0.
Knowledge data + ADR + reference harness = non-runtime -> no deploy (ADR-001).

The architecture is stable; from here the value comes from DOMAINS, not more software. Phase B is
organized as law-first Domain Knowledge Programs, each delivering the same production line: Corpus ->
Obligations -> Capabilities -> Transition Patterns -> Playbooks -> Reference Scenarios -> Completeness.
No new runtime framework (Freeze v1.0).
- knowledge/programs/README.md: reusable Domain Program blueprint (production line, per-stage ownership,
law-first ordering, planned programs Environmental/Automotive/IEC62443/Functional-Safety).
- knowledge/programs/environmental.yaml: the Environmental domain as DATA. Law-first: B1 Environmental
Regulatory Corpus (water/chemicals/emissions/energy/waste/product-responsibility — law + obligations
only) -> B2 Capability Model -> B3 Transition Patterns (ISO 14001 -> corpus, built LAST). ISO 14001
is a source state, NOT the domain.
- Ownership handoffs: B1 -> Legal Knowledge, B2 -> Compliance Execution, B3+/playbooks/reference ->
Reasoning. Coordinate via the board; no session builds another's artifacts.
- reference suite: "Domain Knowledge Programs" section renders the program stages + a measurable
Completeness baseline (6 areas, 0 assessed today) that flips automatically as stages land.
- ADR-008: from architecture to domains; Phase B as law-first programs; architecture frozen.
6 program-contract tests (law-first order + ownership pinned), check-loc 0. Knowledge data + ADR +
reference harness = non-runtime -> no deploy (ADR-001). No new module, no runtime change.

Phase A½. The move from feature to product development: for every assessment, answer "how sure are
we that this answer is COMPLETE?" — different from confidence. The product never claims full coverage;
it makes its own knowledge state transparent and auditable. Shows what we do NOT know and why.
- compliance/completeness/: assess_completeness(identified, corpus_status, uncertain, assumptions,
assessed_obligations) -> CompletenessReport. Separates IDENTIFIED from ASSESSED (validated corpus
AND determined applicability) and justifies every gap. Two kinds of open: corpus gap (future_corpus)
and applicability uncertainty (query_required + deciding question, e.g. Data Act / generates_usage_data).
- The metric is COUNTS, never a single percentage: "Identifiziert N · bewertet M · offen K ·
Unsicherheiten U · Begründung ja" + an honest audit statement.
- ADR-007: auditable honesty; phase order A factory -> A½ Completeness -> B new domains; the
transparency selling point. Deterministic, no LLM; corpus status + obligation count injected.
- reference suite: "Regulatory Completeness" section runs an industrial-dishwasher assessment
(assessed CRA/MaschinenVO; open EMV/Environmental=future_corpus, Data Act=query_required) and notes
Environmental flips open->validated automatically once the corpus lands.
11 completeness tests (54 with adjacent modules), mypy --strict clean (15 files), check-loc 0.

Phase A1. The real knowledge production is not writing — it is TARGETED UPDATING: when 20 documents
arrive, which 5 change our knowledge and which 15 are ignorable? Before the parser, Knowledge Intake
classifies a new document (no content extraction) and intersects its signals with an index of the
existing knowledge to emit a Knowledge Package (an impact analysis).
- compliance/knowledge_intake/: build_knowledge_index(patterns, playbooks, reference_scenarios,
obligation_index) + assess_document_impact(descriptor, index) -> KnowledgePackage. Deterministic,
NO content extraction, NO LLM. Surfaces affected capabilities / playbooks / transition patterns /
reference scenarios / (injected) obligations, whether it is a new domain, and a triage level
(HIGH / LOW / NONE / NEW_DOMAIN) with a recommendation.
- ADR-006: Knowledge Intake = classify + impact before extraction; full factory Intake -> Package ->
Parser -> Draft -> Review -> Published; phase order A1 Intake / A2 Draft / A3 Review.
- reference suite: "Knowledge Intake" section triages 3 example documents (CRA SBOM-FAQ -> high,
14C/2PB/3RTS/2Obl; environmental guidance -> new_domain; marketing blog -> ignorable). Section
lives in _helpers.py to keep generate.py under the 500-LOC budget.
- Honest known refinement surfaced by intake: regulation-ID normalization (CRA vs Cyber Resilience Act).
10 intake tests (60 with the adjacent modules), mypy --strict clean (16 files), check-loc 0.
Product code with no app caller + ADR/reference = non-runtime -> no deploy (ADR-001). Freeze-safe.

The bottleneck is not content, it is knowledge PRODUCTION. Instead of writing 200 playbooks by
hand, generate drafts deterministically from data the software already owns, then have an expert
review them. Mirrors the legal pipeline (Gesetz -> Parser -> Obligation -> Review) for BreakPilot's
own knowledge: new Capability -> Registry -> Transition Pattern -> Playbook Draft Generator ->
Expert Review -> versioned Playbook.
- compliance/knowledge_production/: generate_playbook_draft(capability, requirement, control_links)
+ drafts_from_pattern(pattern) -> one PlaybookDraft per delta capability. Owned fields (why /
closes_regulations / expected_evidence / typical_controls) are assembled with per-field provenance;
the practitioner know-how (tools / process_steps / how_others) is left as an explicit TODO.
- DraftStatus lifecycle (Freigabestatus): draft_generated -> in_review -> reviewed -> validated ->
proven. Deterministic, NO LLM in the core (any model enrichment stays offline/advisory/propose-only).
- ADR-005: extends "the engine does not change, the corpus grows" with "and the corpus is not written
by hand — it is deterministically prepared, then curated".
- reference suite: "Knowledge Production" section turns the convergence pattern into 12 auto-assembled
drafts (why/closes/evidence filled, tools/steps TODO) -> review 12 drafts, don't write 12 playbooks.
10 tests (50 with playbook/optimization/transition/company), mypy --strict clean, check-loc 0.

Roadmap item 4. After WHAT applies / WHAT is missing / WHICH first, the GF asks HOW. The
Implementation Playbook renders, for one capability, the full journey — why / which regulations
it closes / tools / process / evidence / controls — and chains the Optimization Roadmap into
per-measure playbooks. Another renderer over the same Capability spine (ADR-003/004), not a new
engine: ~95% of the data already exists, it just needs a different rendering.
- compliance/playbook/: build_playbook() + playbooks_for_plan() (chains optimization -> playbook,
acyclic; reuses leverage for "closes which regulations"). Capabilities without curated content
render as honest status:missing stubs — the content-owed signal.
- knowledge/implementation_playbooks/: curated knowledge layer (Reasoning Knowledge Acquisition),
two deep expert drafts (SBOM, CVD/PSIRT, status draft, expert-draft-not-normative) + README.
The bottleneck is now CONTENT, not software; Playbook (own knowledge) != regulatory domain.
- ADR-004: Implementation Playbooks = renderer + knowledge layer; content is the bottleneck.
- reference suite: "Implementation Playbook" section renders the SBOM journey + Roadmap->Playbook
table (high-leverage caps flagged "fehlt (Inhalt)" — content backlog, highest leverage first).
- refactor: extracted markdown helpers to reference_scenarios/_helpers.py to keep generate.py
under the 500-LOC budget.
9 playbook tests (40 with optimization+transition+company), mypy --strict clean, check-loc 0.
Product code with no app caller + knowledge/ADR/reference = non-runtime -> no deploy (ADR-001).

Roadmap item 5. GAP analysis and measure-prioritisation are the SAME computation: Required −
Known = the Capability Delta. The Capability Delta Engine (RS-005) computes it once; renderers
read that ONE delta. Interview Renderer (missing info → questions) was already built; this adds
the Roadmap/Management Renderer (missing capabilities → measures ranked by regulatory leverage).
- compliance/optimization/: regulatory_leverage() + select_within_budget() (pure leverage math)
+ roadmap_from_delta(assessment, ...) — the keystone binding optimization to the RS-005 delta
(dependency optimization → transition_reasoning, acyclic; the delta engine stays hermetic).
leverage(measure) = number of regulatory requirements it closes at once (e.g. patch management
→ CRA+MaschinenVO+IEC62443+ISO27001 = 4). No new corpus, no new meta-model class (freeze v1.0).
- Welt-1 honesty: percentages are exact count ratios over the IDENTIFIED requirements (the known
delta), never "% gesetzeskonform".
- reference suite: "Regulatory Optimization" section runs the SAME convergence delta → ranked
measures + budget answer + the management sentence "of N identified requirements you close M
with the top-K measures (X%) — highest regulatory leverage".
- ADR-003: Capability Delta Engine — one delta, many renderers; rename Gap → Capability Delta.
13 optimization tests (31 with transition+company), mypy --strict clean, check-loc 0.
Product code with no app caller + ADR/reference = non-runtime → no deploy (ADR-001).

Roadmap item 2: the RTS now pin MaschinenVO + convergence Expected Outcomes, so the
convergence USP is a living regression, not just a one-off section.
- RTS-003 (machine + ISMS, networked): full multi-regulation archetype — maschinenvo
expected_delta + convergence expected_multi_target (links TP-ISO27001-CRA-MaschinenVO-v1).
Generator runs the convergence pattern through RS-005: 4/4 machine-safety delta MISSING +
4/4 expected multi-target caps converge. PASS.
- RTS-001 (component): MaschinenVO modeled as `uncertain` (a pure component is usually not a
machine; deciding question is_safety_component) — engine must never assert it applies. Honest,
parallel to the Data-Act handling.
- RTS-002 (machine, QMS-only): MaschinenVO `applies` (is_machine) but LOW convergence — no ISMS
means the cyber side is entirely delta, so few caps are shared. The honest contrast that the
convergence USP rewards companies who already run an ISMS.
- generator: per-RTS maschinenvo/convergence Soll-Ist checks; convergence pattern run once and
reused. Data Act stays `uncertain` everywhere, never asserted.
All 3 RTS PASS. 18 tests (transition+company), mypy --strict clean, check-loc 0.
Non-runtime (knowledge + reference harness) -> no deploy (ADR-001).

The first multi-regulation pattern: each capability declares `covers_targets`, so we
can answer the convergence USP — "which capability satisfies CRA AND MaschinenVO at once?"
- knowledge: transition_pattern_iso27001_to_cra_maschinenvo_v1.yaml (pattern_type:
regulatory_convergence, status draft). The cyber-safety bridge = MaschinenVO Annex III
1.1.9 "protection against corruption" overlapping CRA integrity. 4 convergence
capabilities cover BOTH; 5 CRA-only; 3 MaschinenVO-only.
- product: compliance/transition_reasoning/convergence.py — regulatory_convergence()
pure/deterministic/computed-not-stored, no new graph/class (freeze v1.0 untouched).
No app caller yet -> non-runtime, no deploy (ADR-001).
- reference suite: Cross-Regulation Capability Mapping section renders the customer
sentence "von N neuen Massnahmen erfuellen M gleichzeitig CRA und MaschinenVO".
- README: term -> Regulatory Transition / Convergence Pattern; covers_targets documented.
- tests: test_regulatory_convergence (18 transition+company pass), mypy --strict clean.
Curated expert knowledge, AI first draft (L1/draft) — Annex/Article refs indicative,
review_required by a machinery-safety expert.

Three ANONYMIZED reference transition scenarios (no real company names stored) = canonical
regression scenarios that test the KNOWLEDGE, not just the engine. Each pins an Expected
Outcome (expected_likely_covered + expected_delta); every commit must reproduce it (identical
or better).
- RTS-001 automotive supplier (TISAX+ISO27001) -> CRA: mature ISMS, standard CRA delta.
- RTS-002 classic machine builder (ISO9001) -> CRA: only process discipline -> MUCH larger delta
(10 missing vs 3 covered). New TP-ISO9001-CRA-v1 pattern (different shape).
- RTS-003 networked machine builder (ISMS) -> CRA: highlights the Data Act.
Data Act is modelled as UNCERTAIN (a hypothesis), never a fixed gilt/gilt-nicht: the generator
checks the engine SURFACES the uncertainty + the deciding question (generates_usage_data) and
never wrongly ASSERTS applicability. All three RTS PASS.
Non-runtime knowledge + reference harness -> no deploy (ADR-001). Names deliberately absent.

Transition KNOWLEDGE Patterns (renamed term -- curated knowledge, not an algorithm):
- 4 maturity levels: draft -> reviewed -> validated (domain expert) -> proven (field). "approved"
dropped; target is validated. TP-ISO27001-CRA set to reviewed (L2).
- 3 enrichments per pattern: confidence_source: relationship (curated, not an LLM estimate ->
computed-not-stored); why_asked (customer-facing: why the source does not suffice here); dropped_if
(what makes the question unnecessary). Applied to TP-ISO27001-CRA.
- New TP-ISMS-TISAX (draft): different character -- info-security module mostly covered; delta is
automotive-specific (prototype protection, TISAX labels, VDA ISA self-assessment, ENX assessment,
Art. 28 data protection). Proves the architecture is GENERIC, not CRA-tailored.
- Reference scenario 4 generalized to loop over ALL patterns through RS-005: both carried (CRA
17->17, TISAX 13->13) -> a living genericity + regression test for every future pattern.
Non-runtime knowledge + reference harness -> no deploy (ADR-001). Next: ISO9001->IATF16949.

(1) Harden the first Transition Pattern to the gold-standard template per quality checklist:
versioned transition_goal (ISO27001:2022 -> CRA, applies 2027-12-11), source_state_variants
(certified/isms_introduced/expired/limited_scope), each likely_covered assumption with a typed
relationship (supports|partially_supports, never equivalent) + verification + rationale (the Warum)
+ an auditor-checkable reviewable_claim, delta as missing-capability + needed-info, an explicit
rejected_assumptions section, and a determinism_goal. README schema updated to match.
(2) New Reference-Suite scenario 4 (Transition): the generator READS the pattern YAML and runs it
through the RS-005 Planning Engine + Company 2A -> coverage + question requests. Proves the
architecture fully carries the pattern (17 caps -> 17 coverage + 17 requests; 9 HIGH delta = the
real CRA gaps, 8 probably-covered from the ISMS). Now a living regression test: every future pattern
runs through the same engine.
Non-runtime knowledge + reference harness -> no deploy (ADR-001). Next: ISMS->TISAX once approved.

Three real customer scenarios driven through the DEPLOYED engines (scope/map/
interpretation, RCI, company 2A, capability registry). Each scenario emits an
Architecture Coverage table DERIVED from the real run, so cells flip automatically
as domains land (e.g. Sz2/Environmental UNSUPPORTED -> PASS). The roll-up answers
"is BreakPilot better than six months ago" by real customer situations, not LOC.
Gaps captured as epics (NOT implemented): RS-001 Interpretation Pattern Library,
RS-002 Environmental Corpus, RS-003 Capability Linking (cap<->MCAP) + Company-Gap,
RS-004 MaschinenVO/EMV Registry Linking.
reference_scenarios/generate.py = reproducible source (ruff/mypy-exempt, NOT product
code, not imported by the app); reference_scenario_suite_v1.md = generated artifact.
No new product code; CRA patterns deliberately NOT built — the suite is now the measure.
