| Input | App action | Board-ready output | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current term statuses | Counts approved terms against all stored terms | Glossary Compliance Score, Total Terms, Approved, In Review, Draft, and Deprecated | The percentage is an approval ratio, not a compliance outcome |
| Approval review dates | Flags approved terms with no review in 6+ months | Stale Approvals requiring governance attention | The visible list contains no more than 100 terms |
| A regulation or custom catalog and optional Consumer Space | Maps required terms to governed glossary records | Readiness, Approved Required, Needs Approval, Missing Terms, and Cross-Regulation Conflicts | Readiness measures approved required terms; it is not legal compliance |
| Evidence scope, Period from, and Period to | Collects supported stored records | Audit Evidence Package with page status, scan history, and finding resolutions | Space, period, record cap, and retained data bound the result |
| Retained scan snapshots | Preserves recorded scan states over time | Scan history for period comparison | It shows recorded states, not future performance |
How it works
- Open Dashboard. Record the reporting date and each visible term-status count.
- Record Stale Approvals as governance work, not as a certification failure.
- Open Requirements Mapper. Select the relevant Regulation and Consumer Space (optional).
- Record Readiness, Needs Approval, Missing Terms, and Cross-Regulation Conflicts.
- Open Audit Evidence Export. Set Evidence scope, Period from, and Period to.
- Select Generate Evidence Package, then Open Print-Ready Package when a printable view is needed.
- Lead the board summary with scope, current gaps, owners, due dates, and the next decision. Keep the supporting package available for review.
Example
A quarterly report states that 90 of 120 terms are approved. Glossary Compliance Score is therefore 75%. Eight approvals are stale. The selected mapping shows 12 of 15 required terms approved, two needing approval, and one missing. The scoped evidence package supplies page status, scan history, and resolution records. Management then assigns owners and dates outside the metric itself.
What this does not mean
Compliance Glossary does not issue a board conclusion, certification, assurance opinion, legal opinion, or enterprise risk rating. Glossary Compliance Score and Readiness are narrow operational ratios. The application produces views and evidence records. Your organization writes the board narrative, validates scope, explains gaps, and owns each decision.
