Audit readiness should be a runtime behavior, not a retroactive reporting project.
MAPLE encourages three patterns:
1) Tiered consequence classes
Different actions require different control depth.
2) Deterministic receipts
Policy decisions, capability checks, and outcomes are persisted in a consistent envelope.
3) Replay-first forensics
Operators should be able to reconstruct what happened, why it happened, and who initiated it.
When these patterns are built in early, production rollouts become much easier to govern.
