Q2 Defensibility

DEFINITION

Canonical ROAI return category 2 of 4. Avoided regulatory exposure, avoided incidents, avoided adversarial discovery, audit-readiness. Typically the largest single category of total ROAI (40–60%) for institutional legal functions. Visible at the first audit cycle — quarters, not months. The board's question; the largest under-counted category in functions that frame AI as a productivity story. Distinct from 'Defensible AI' (the operating posture) and 'Defensibility Posture Statement' (the artefact).
