# Make risk accountable.

Connect observed events, plausible risks and control decisions without conflating them.

## Observe before generalizing

An incident record should link to a dated source and distinguish confirmed observations, allegations and predictions. Incomplete coverage cannot establish incident frequency or industry prevalence.

## Trace the dependency

Record the affected system, provider, model, data and delegated authority. Link risks to controls, owners and evidence; document the limits of attribution.

## Escalate and resolve

Assign an owner, preserve the decision record and track remediation through verification. No incident dataset or trend estimate has been published in this research surface.
