CMMC L2 asset scope · 32 CFR §170.19
Drop your asset inventory — Meridian classifies each asset into the five CMMC categories, flags scope gaps, and exports a C3PAO-ready scoping package ahead of your Oct 2026 assessment. Nothing leaves your boundary.

Win & Loss Intel
Your losses are the most expensive data you own — so Meridian learns from them.
“staffing & experience depth” cost you both of your decided losses — which is exactly why Studio flagged §M.4 on the VA A&A proposal before you submitted.
The loop, closed. Every debrief becomes training data for the next draft.
