# Repository Audit - Quick Start
**Date:** 2025-12-27
**Status:** COMPLETE ✅
**Overall Assessment:** STRONG (85/100)
## Scope of v0.1.0
**Important:** This release focuses on documentation and governance foundations. The infrastructure and policy scores are intentionally low because:
- v0.1.0 establishes the **governance framework** and **documentation baseline**
- Infrastructure code and policy implementations are planned for v0.2.0 and beyond
- Low infrastructure/policy scores reflect deliberate deferral, not deficiencies
- This is a reference repository for governed IaC practices, not a production system
