About this sample: This document represents the output of the thinking. The value is in the conversations that produced it — the site walk, the stakeholder interviews, the engineering judgements made along the way. What you are reading is the record. The work that matters happened before the first page was written.

Note: Scores above are illustrative sample values. Your baseline will reflect your specific systems, vendor platforms, and existing configuration. Post-hardening scores are included in the full report.

On baseline scores: Scores in the 28–52% range are consistent with what we find in first-time assessments across most OT environments. These figures reflect accumulated configuration debt, not client negligence. The starting point is not the story — the trajectory is.

What this enables: Pre and post-hardening baseline scores, a complete hardening record for all systems, functional test results, and a hardened configuration baseline document for ongoing reference.
