Mapped control outcomes

2 sensitive-data discovery; 3 downstream copy tracking; 8 breach blast-radius analysis; 9 retention/minimization; 10 regulator audit evidence

It does not alter source attachments or documents, and its output is technical evidence supporting controls, not proof of legal compliance.
