Decomposition ratio

Each rule is decomposed into an average of 17.2 atomic obligations — the smallest testable units that can be independently violated.

Fully extracted & scored

All 103 obligations have been decomposed, titled, risk-scored, and embedded for semantic matching.

Risk scoring

Every obligation in NIST CSF 2.0 is scored across independent risk dimensions:

W

Obligation Weight

How critical within the regulatory framework

L

Violation Likelihood

How often breached in practice

E

Enforcement Evidence

Regulator enforcement history and penalties

C

Cascade Dependency

How many obligations depend on this one
