Northstar's paved road: one well-built road that hundreds of engineering teams travel, lined with the eight stations of the paved road board — hardened baselines, signed pipelines, golden Terraform templates, policy-as-code guardrails, Vault-issued secrets, SPIFFE workload identity, observability by default and self-service; and an adoption scorecard showing that a mandate only 23% read loses to a platform teams choose — 67% of the fleet on the baseline with 213 drifted, pipelines at 54% against a 90% target, the scaffold at 89% once it lived in the CLI, and 76% average adoption.
