Valence

Value Governance Map

Valence governs whether a product, AI use case, platform, shared service, or strategic initiative continues to create value after launch or operation.

Decision Matrix Overview

Valence uses a practical governance matrix around adoption, impact, investment efficiency, risk, and operating friction. The matrix is a governance trigger, not an automatic decision. Final judgment still depends on product type, repeated signals, root cause, risk, and management context.

Lifecycle States

• Monitor: the product is within an acceptable range and needs normal observation.
• Promote: the value logic is credible, but target users or stakeholders are not sufficiently activated.
• Improve: product, process, data, workflow, or user experience issues need correction.
• Optimize: value exists, but cost, complexity, support burden, or operating effort is too high.
• Keep as-is with justification: the product is retained temporarily because a documented business reason exists.
• Suspend: new investment, delivery, promotion, or active operation is paused until a dependency, decision, budget, compliance answer, strategic clarity, or restart trigger is resolved.
• Merge: overlapping products, platforms, services, or capabilities should be consolidated.
• Decommission: the product, application, or capability should be retired when continued retention is no longer justified.
