Evidence reuse value

Show how much work one piece of evidence does across frameworks.

ControlMap
Requires MCPby Greg Brydon · Solutions Engineer

Needs an LLM client connected to ScalePad MCP — Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf or similar. Without it the assistant cannot call the recipe's tools.

User prompt

2 inputs to fill
For [CLIENT NAME], use ControlMap mappings to show how evidence and policies are reused across frameworks. Build an artifact with:
- A headline: each evidence item satisfies X controls across Y frameworks on average
- The 20 most reused evidence items against every assigned framework
- Estimated effort saved by reuse (assume 30 minutes per item per control if collected separately; state the assumption)
- How much of [NEW FRAMEWORK] is already covered by existing evidence

Use only real mappings.

How to work with the ControlMap API (ScalePad MCP):
- Find the client with GET /controlmap/v1/clients/health and use its tenant ID (for example "dundmif") in every request. Some clients have no UUID.
- Send the header Content-Type: application/json on every POST, PUT and PATCH, including searches.
- Use page_size of 50 or less and follow next_cursor. The "fields" parameter is ignored, so responses are large.
- Judge controls by "status", not the "compliant" flag. Objective lists include sub-objectives, so take totals from objective_summary.
- Use framework-level scores and labels. The overall score_label on client health can be wrong.
- Older policy sections may be URL-encoded twice: decode them and use the highest version of each section.
- If a call returns 502 or fails to connect, wait a few seconds and retry once. If it still fails, tell me exactly which data is missing.

# Evidence reuse value

Hook: Show how much work one piece of evidence does across frameworks.

When to use it

Proposing a second framework, or justifying your service fee.

What you get

A matrix of evidence against frameworks with a headline reuse number.

Fill in the details

  • [CLIENT NAME]: Client name (e.g. Acme Dental)
  • [NEW FRAMEWORK]: Framework you're considering adding (e.g. NIST CSF 2.0)

Status

Tested against the ControlMap API on October 16, 2026. Only asks for what the API supports.
