The modernization foundation layer.
The first step not an optional one.
Modernization fails when organizations build on a broken foundation. Phase 0 is the governed starting point that creates clarity, stability, and evidence before modernization, AI adoption, or compliance work begins.
If your workflows, documentation, decisions, or systems feel unclear, risky, or unstable Phase 0 is where you start.
