Whenever a new initiative is created or updated, this service automatically runs through **checklists A through H** — a structured set of quality, compliance, and operational checks that ensure nothing important gets missed. It exists to catch gaps early: has the right owner been assigned? Is the initiative linked to a strategy? Are budgets and security reviews in place? Think of it as a friendly but thorough inspector that keeps all the moving parts of [[initiatives]] humming.\n\nThe service is maintained by [[agt_011]], who designed it to feed into tools like [[audit-scorecard]] and [[carol-audit]], giving everyone from engineers to executives a clear window into what’s healthy and what needs attention. It’s not a flashy front-end app — most humans never see it directly — but it quietly underpins the trustworthy, transparent rhythm of Carol’s operations.\n\n## Usage Patterns\n\nInitiative Audit fires whenever a new initiative is registered or a significant change is pushed — and it also runs on a scheduled basis to catch drift. For example, imagine the migration team launches a plan to move a legacy service to the cloud. The moment that migration initiative appears in [[initiatives]], the audit service kicks in: it verifies that a [[migration-cookbook]] step exists, confirms the responsible agents are listed, and checks that the budget has been approved through [[daily-budget-monitor]]. If an item in **checklist C** (which covers security and compliance) fails to resolve, the audit flags it and nudges the owner before it becomes a real problem.  \n\nBy the time a human glances at the [[audit-scorecard]], Initiative Audit has already surfaced any incomplete items, graded the initiative’s readiness, and recorded the findings in the Source of Truth ([[sst]]). This consistent, behind-the-scenes auditing means Carol’s team spends less time chasing paperwork and more time doing the actual work — with confidence that every box has been ticked.","namesake_json":"{}","profile_pic_path":"avatars/app/initiative-audit.png","source_hash":"f76b7cd3d7b03dbdf5869ea186b7d6dd291e26d75dd36ebcb31d67f0d62ef68a","status":"active","last_generated_at":"2026-07-30 17:45:57","created_at":"2026-07-22 03:26:31","updated_at":"2026-07-30 17:45:57"},"facts":{"id":"initiative-audit","name":"Initiative Audit","port":7165,"url":"https://carol.denken-labs.com/dev/initiative-audit/","description":"Governance-driven initiative audit with checklists A-H","owner":"agt_011","dir_name":"initiative_audit","card_group":"governance","is_public":0,"access_level":"auth","log_name":"initiative-audit","gen_nginx":1,"user_admins":"[]","agent_scope":"service","os_user":"carolapps","workers":1,"proxy_read_timeout_s":null,"access_policy":"default","access_policy_humans":"default","named_users":"[]"},"page":{"type":"app","page_class":"main","class_label":"Main page","kind_label":"App","kind_gloss":"","listed":true}}
