Software solves tasks. A discipline changes how the enterprise makes decisions.
Surplus capital assets have historically been managed as tasks: list, sell, move, close. While these tasks matter, they do not prevent value leakage at scale.
Leakage is not primarily a task problem. Leakage is a governance problem.
Enterprises treat areas as disciplines when three conditions are met. Surplus management meets all three.
Surplus decisions repeat by asset class and operating context.
Small individual asset values aggregate into a massive portfolio impact.
Delay, ambiguity, local optimization, and missing traceability are known risks.
Most enterprises pick the familiar option (habit) and hope for the best. Habit produces variance. Variance is value loss.
SCALM treats execution as a governed workflow. Each path has standards, time limits, and evidence requirements.
Intelligence without accountability becomes speculation. SCALM embeds a learning loop where realized outcomes update future standards.
We're building SCALM because surplus is not a cleanup problem. It is a standing decision domain that has escaped governance for decades.
Software is necessary. It is not sufficient.
SCALM is the discipline that makes software matter.
