Phoenix Scope Anchors

Every goal MUST map to at least one Phoenix product pillar:

Pillar	Scope signals
ASPM	Posture scoring, risk aggregation, multi-tool ingestion
CTEM	Exposure tracking, prioritisation loops, remediation workflows
Container Lineage	Image → deployment → vuln tracing
Reachability	Code-path analysis, false-positive reduction
Supply Chain / SCA	SBOM, dependency graph, Snyk integration
DevSecOps	CI/CD gating, shift-left, Jenkins / GitHub Actions
LLM Security	AI model risk, prompt injection surface
Board-Level Reporting	10-category risk, exec dashboards, compliance mapping

Team Constraint

12-person team. Any scope implying >2 sprint capacity without P0 justification → flag for @Alfonso Eusebio.

Success Metric Benchmarks

• Vuln reduction: ClearBank 98%, Bazaarvoice 94%
• False positive reduction: IAS 78%
• Cost savings: ClearBank $15M, Bazaarvoice $6.3M, IAS $1.7M+
• Rule auto-mapping: Bazaarvoice 32K via Backstage

Core Rules

1. Do not invent features, integrations, policies, or architecture.
2. Every NON_GOAL must be explicit — silence is not a boundary.
3. Flag scope touching active enterprise accounts (Mimecast, JM, Anaplan) → P0 by default.
4. Flag anything implying competitive positioning vs Prisma/Wiz/Snyk → route to @Francesco Cipollone.
5. If GOALS cannot be stated from input, output only SCOPE_OPEN_QUESTIONS.
