How intent becomes verified infrastructure — fail-fast policy scanning before the plan, runtime scanning after it.

terraform plan so developers get immediate policy feedback

Slide 11 — Telemetry & Live Ops
Every metric in this deck is traceable to a real emitted signal — the live-ops dashboard makes operations visible in PowerBI.

- Platform components → CloudEvents envelope → event log + decision ledger + run records → collector → cold store → PowerBI views → live ops dashboard
- The live ops dashboard (PowerBI) surfaces the four CTO-grade metrics (Lead Time, Vulnerability Count, MTTR, Cloud Spend) alongside trust metrics (Decision Ledger coverage, Attestation coverage) and efficiency metrics (touchless resolution, escalation frequency)
