+# NetKingdom Security/IAM Tooling Suite
+
+## Overview
+
+`net-kingdom` provides a dynamic, self-optimizing security platform for Kubernetes-deployed infrastructure. It owns the canonical IAM and security standards (implemented by sibling repos like `key-cape`) and ships three executable conformance/bootstrap tools under `tools/`: IAM profile conformance checks, a playbook capability contract validator, and a non-secret-collecting security bootstrap console.
+
+## Assessment notes
+
+### Discovery
+
+README plus docs/secrets-engine-security-infrastructure-boundary.md describe an explicit integration boundary with OpenBao, flex-auth, user-engine, ops-warden, ops-bridge, info-tech-canon, and State Hub; canon/standards/ holds versioned standards (iam-profile_v0.2.md, playbook-capability-contract_v0.1.md) that key-cape and other repos implement against.
+
+### Availability
+
+No top-level package manifest, but tools/ holds three real, independently documented and runnable tools: iam-profile-conformance (executable checks, pytest fixtures), playbook-capability-contract (executable validator), and security-bootstrap-console (local console + localhost web UI).
+
+### Completeness
+
+First-pass honest assessment from the REUSE-WP-0017 coverage campaign
+(reuse-surface). No external consumer feedback exists yet; levels reflect
+scope-vs-intent documentation quality, not internal code quality.
+
+### Reliability
+
+No production consumer telemetry exists yet; reliability level is
+intentionally conservative pending REUSE-WP-0019 reuse-telemetry evidence.
+
+## Promotion checklist
+
+- [x] ID follows `capability.<domain>.<name>` pattern
+- [x] Maturity enums match `specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md`
+- [x] `external_evidence` is populated separately from `maturity`
+- [ ] Relations reference valid capability IDs (none yet)
+- [x] Index entry added in `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`
