The Atlas
The reference library for the Map.
The Atlas holds the published body of PSRM: the streams, blocks and modules that describe procurement and supply capability, evidence and maturity.
How to read the Map
Question, stream, block, module.
Bring a question. Find the stream that owns the terrain. Narrow to the block. Read the module. Each module follows a repeatable reading order: purpose, scope, requirements, controls, evidence, measures, roles, maturity tiers, AI governance, dependencies, terms and provenance.

Module content
Foundations
The reference layer beneath every module.
Foundations are the ideas the whole Map relies on: reference structure, maturity tiers, evidence tiers, controls, decision rights and AI governance. A reader can use Foundations before opening a module, and return to them whenever a module raises a term that needs anchoring.
