Actor Misalignment

Comparing expert ratings (responsibility or vulnerability per actor) vs governance targeting frequency (how many governance documents actually target each actor). Toggle between responsibility and vulnerability to see where governance attention doesn’t match expert expectations.

How to read this

Each row represents one of 7 actor types with two dots: governance targeting (green) and the selected expert metric (responsibility or vulnerability), connected by a line whose length encodes the misalignment. Positive gaps mean the expert rating exceeds governance targeting. Both metrics are min-max normalized to 0-100% for visual comparison. Hover over any row for raw values.
