The Tool Control Framework

A structured, progressive approach to managing tools. Each level addresses a distinct stage of operational need, allowing organisations to implement effective control today while retaining a clear pathway to higher levels of automation.

Rather than forcing a single solution, the framework supports right-sized deployment—ensuring investment, compliance, and operational benefit remain aligned.
