bp Context Coverage Methodology - bp Sphere
Context Coverage Methodology
Coverage is not a hand-wavy maturity score. This surface defines what coverage means for bp: object coverage, relationship coverage, event coverage, policy coverage, decision-pattern coverage, and evidence-lineage coverage, each with freshness and steward accountability.
Coverage scoring dimensions
Coverage must answer a skeptical executive’s question: how complete is the context needed to govern a decision? Each dimension is measured separately so gaps are visible and actionable.
| Object coverage | Supplier, Invoice, Contract, Work Order, Asset, Policy |
|---|---|
| Relationship coverage | Cross-object links present and traversable |
| Event coverage | Signals and state changes attached |
| Policy coverage | Governing rules referenced |
| Decision-pattern coverage | Comparable prior cases available |
| Evidence-lineage coverage | Source refs + hashes + replay path |
Governance rules
Coverage without confidence is misleading. The method also binds every high-value context node to freshness, confidence, and ownership so operators know what can be trusted.
| Confidence scoring | Weighted by source trust + extraction certainty |
|---|---|
| Freshness scoring | Critical objects breach after 24h |
| Owner | Business steward + technical steward |
| Promotion gate | Low-confidence context cannot be promoted |
| Conflict detection | Inconsistent sources flagged to ContextOps |
| Production threshold | Coverage >= 80% and confidence >= 75% |

Why this matters
This turns Context Studio from a visual graph into a measurable control surface. bp leaders can see what percentage of the enterprise context model is actually fit for governed decisioning.

Use this after Evidence & Context Explorer. It answers: how do we know the context layer is complete enough to trust recommendations at scale?
