How a Single Capability Gap Cascades Into Business Risk

R–01

Mis-Scoped Search → leads to skill mismatch against system criticality.

R–02

Skill Mismatch → creates validation gaps in day-to-day execution.

R–03

Validation Gaps → create compliance exposure across the system.

R–04

Compliance Exposure → leads to inspection findings.

R–05

Inspection Findings → trigger formal remediation.

R–06

Remediation → drains budget and stretches timelines.

R–07

Delays → create business risk and repeat-search costs.

R–00

Root Cause → traces back to a search scoped without validation-environment context.
