Control Activation Register

A record that tracks the implementation and activation status of every governance control specified in the Control Requirements Matrix — confirming that each control has been built, tested, and is operational in the production environment.

What this means in practice

It closes the loop between governance design (Model) and governance operation (Produce/Evaluate).

Context in the COMPEL framework

Produced and maintained in the Produce stage. The Control Activation Register must show all required controls as active before the Gate P review can pass.

Where you see this

Control Activation Register is most commonly referenced when teams work across the Produce and Evaluate stages — especially within the Operational Readiness layer . It appears in governance artifacts, assessment instruments, and delivery playbooks wherever COMPEL is operationalized.
