Microsoft 365 decisions
you can defend.
We work out how Microsoft 365 actually behaves, prove it against real tenants, and publish the working. What can be established is written down; what cannot is written down as well.

Published work you can take and leave
None of this asks for anything first. It exists because we needed it ourselves, and publishing it is how the reasoning gets checked.

Verified answers to Microsoft 365 questions
Each one says how it was established, against which version, and on what date. Where something could not be established, it says that instead of filling the gap.

What we build
Microsoft 365 Governance as Code
An open source engine that declares what kind of claim each check is making, shows the evidence behind every result, and says plainly when it could not reach an answer. It is in active development, and the numbers below are read from the contract it publishes rather than written here.

What is not established
- Every published question has a way to gather what it needs.
- 4 areas have no established minimum permission. Nine of the eleven reads were measured against a live directory and need one permission; two were refused, and what they require is not yet known.
- No percentage appears anywhere, deliberately. A single number gets read instead of the detail, and the detail is what answers the question.

01 · Who we are
We publish what we had to work out
pH7x Systems builds software and publishes the engineering knowledge that came out of solving hard problems in real tenants. The answers here are the ones we needed ourselves: each says how it was verified, when, and what it does not cover.
Everything published as a capability is derived from a proven run, never from what the code could in principle do. Where we cannot establish something, the page says so instead of filling the gap.
