01

One inbox.
Three committees.
Five seconds.

The CIO sits on three committees with different roles. The app surfaces what needs action now, not 47 unread emails.

SAMA-linked, each committee shows its framework reference 3.1.1
Three roles, one identity, Chair, Observer, Member. Different authority per committee
Waiver vote leads, 6-step Appendix C chain with deadline

Every agenda item
anchored to a
SAMA control.

Quorum auto-computed. Composition validated. The agenda is the compliance map.

Control badges, Risk Profile to 3.2.4, KPI Dashboard to 3.1.9 ITGF
