Oversight report

Overview

The Oversight Report is a comprehensive governance and accountability analysis document generated from organizational assessment data. This report transforms organizational JSON data into structured oversight documentation using the Orthogramic Metamodel framework to identify formal oversight structures, stakeholder-accountability relationships, performance expectations, and governance mechanisms with full traceability.
