evidence stack

  • Incident taxonomies vary across registries.
  • Underreporting remains likely due to legal and reputational concerns.
  • Severity scoring is inconsistent, limiting comparability.

constraint map

  • Reporting mandates are still emerging, not harmonized.
  • Private settlements hide important failure modes.
  • Context fields are often too sparse for root-cause analysis.

my take

We cannot govern what we cannot observe. Incident transparency needs standard schemas before regulation can be meaningfully evidence-based.
