GEN1 turns a broad governance challenge into a finite evidence agenda: for many systems, the next stronger external position is only a few named records away.
The distance is specific
Across 278 systems with T between 50% and 90%, the typical gap is concentrated in around two of five governance evidence areas. These usually concern human oversight, contestation, explanation, decision traceability or automated-decision control. The gap can be named before the decision and re-tested after the evidence improves.

The board test
Which two evidence areas are holding back the position in front of this board, and can they be closed before the organisation commits?
