## Quick Wins Selected for Implementation

### Phase 01: Consolidate Operations Runbook (+1.0 pt)
**Problem:** Operations documentation scattered across `docs/production/`
**Solution:** Create centralized `OPERATIONS_RUNBOOK.md` with:
- Quick reference tables
- Top 3 incident response procedures
- Deployment and troubleshooting guides
**Impact:** Observability 13 → 14

### Phase 02: Add Loki Configuration Examples (+1.0 pt)
**Problem:** Limited Loki implementation evidence
**Solution:** Add Loki + Promtail configuration with:
- Production-ready configs
- Docker Compose setup
- Integration guide with LogQL examples
**Impact:** Observability 14 → 15

### Phase 03: Enable GitHub Dependabot (+1.0 pt)
**Problem:** No automated dependency updates
**Solution:** Configure Dependabot with:
- Weekly Python dependency scans
- Security alert notifications
- Documented review workflow
**Impact:** Supply Chain 22 → 23

### Phase 04: Add Incident Response Procedures (+0.5 pt)
**Problem:** No formal incident response playbooks
**Solution:** Create `INCIDENT_RESPONSE.md` with:
- 3 detailed playbooks (security breach, degradation, data integrity)
- Communication templates
- Post-mortem template
**Impact:** Compliance 16 → 16.5

### Phase 05: Document IL4/IL5 Deployment (+0.5 pt)
**Problem:** Limited classified deployment guidance
**Solution:** Create `CLASSIFIED_ENVIRONMENTS.md` with:
- IL4 configuration (CUI + Mission Critical)
- IL5 configuration (Classified/Secret)
- Air-gapped deployment procedures
**Impact:** Security Architecture 23 → 23.5

### Phase 06: Create Security Validation Script (+0.5 pt)
**Problem:** No quick security validation for deployments
**Solution:** Create `validate_security_config.py` with:
- 6 security checks (TLS, introspection, APQ, rate limiting, errors, headers)
- Profile-aware validation (STANDARD, IL4, IL5)
- CI/CD integration ready
**Impact:** Maintains Testing 15/15, improves operations

## Expected Outcome

**Starting Score:** 89/100
- Supply Chain: 22 → 23 (+1)
- Security Architecture: 23 → 23.5 (+0.5)
- Compliance: 16 → 16.5 (+0.5)
- Observability: 13 → 15 (+2)

**Final Score:** 92.5/100 (+3.5 points)

## Key Assessment Recommendations Addressed

✅ **"Consolidate operational documentation into centralized runbook"**
✅ **"Enable Dependabot for automated dependency updates"**
✅ **"Add incident response playbooks"**
✅ **"Enhance documentation for classified deployments"**
✅ **"Add explicit IL4/IL5 deployment guides"**
✅ **"Improve Loki implementation evidence"**

## What This Implementation Achieves

1. **Operational Excellence:** Centralized runbook makes incident response faster
2. **Supply Chain Security:** Automated vulnerability scanning and patching
3. **Compliance:** Formal incident response procedures for audits
4. **Classified Readiness:** Clear path to IL4/IL5 deployments
5. **Observability:** Complete logging stack (Prometheus + Loki + Tempo)
6. **Automation:** Security validation script for CI/CD
