Dependency Management
Checks for automated dependency updates (Dependabot, Renovate) and lock file hygiene.
Stale dependencies are the #1 source of security vulnerabilities. Automation keeps you current without manual effort.
Velocity Governance · Sentinel-10 Protocol
Protocol 2.6 is one of the 10 engineering practices Concordance flags as most degraded under AI-accelerated development. That 2 publicly-documented incidents in this Index already failed it — before AI was the dominant velocity driver — is exactly the pattern the Velocity Governance thesis predicts will accelerate.

Incidents that failed this protocol
Progress Software (MOVEit)May 2023civilizational
CVE-2023-34362 SQL injection in MOVEit Transfer leads to mass data theft
Dependency management posture across MOVEit-using organisations: most ran unpatched versions because update mechanisms were customer-pull, not vendor-push.
Apache Software Foundation (Log4j)Dec 2021civilizational
CVE-2021-44228 — JNDI injection in Log4j enables remote code execution
Downstream dependency management: thousands of Java projects pinned vulnerable Log4j versions transitively without visibility.
