Coverage template

Purpose

The CoverageTemplate domain defines reusable, sector-specific and size-specific templates of expected coverage levels across domains. These templates can be applied at organisation setup to align maturity planning with industry context.

Usage

Templates provide a quick-start for coverage planning by offering preconfigured domain-level expectations tailored to sector and organisation size. They help reduce decision fatigue and ensure consistency. Users can apply a template and then refine or override individual expectations where needed.

Core concepts

Template-driven onboarding: Provides default expectations aligned with organisation type.
Sector and size: Templates vary for small vs large, regulated vs agile organisations.
Customisation: Templates can be adjusted post-application.
