“These are the five lenses TechFreedom uses to assess a technology tool or platform. Each one asks a different question about risk. Scored together, they reveal something that no single question can: the overall shape of an organisation’s dependency on tools it does not control.”
The 5 lenses are jurisdiction, continuity, surveillance, lock-in, and cost exposure. Each of them is an element of an org’s overall dependency risk. Doug and Tom have done a fantastic job of putting all this together and presenting it in a way non-geeks can parse.
