Signal Coverage
How many relevant indicators are actively monitored. Wider, fresher coverage raises the score; blind spots lower it.
The sample framework below illustrates how a Vigil Score might be calculated. It is conceptual, not a live product.
How many relevant indicators are actively monitored. Wider, fresher coverage raises the score; blind spots lower it.
How quickly the entity can act on a signal — people, playbooks, tooling, escalation paths.
How much underlying risk is present. Larger surface, more dependencies, or higher-stakes processes increase exposure.
How strong the current safeguards, processes, and review cycles are. Documented and tested controls score higher than ad-hoc ones.
Whether prior issues, near-misses, or recurring patterns indicate elevated concern. Time-decayed so old incidents weigh less.
Each input is normalized to a 0–100 scale before weighting. Exposure and History are inverted so that lower risk produces a higher score. The result is a single number between 0 and 100. This is intentionally conceptual; a real implementation would refine weights per domain.
The domain and the source for this concept site are available as a clean transfer to a single buyer. The framework above is a starting point — the next owner is free to redefine, productize, or publish it under their own brand.
