As famously articulated by [[Donald Rumsfeld]], something that you ''know'' that you know. It is ''also'' known as “the stable from which your horse has bolted”, which your [[risk]] and [[legal]] and management teams will accordingly obsess about, until the last guy who was there when the horse bolted has finally retired. Whereupon the [[paradigm]] will reset and the known known will be demoted to an [[unknown known|''unknown'' known]], if your organisation has a grip on history, or an [[unknown unknown|unknown ''unknown'']], if it doesn’t.

Anyhow, the point at which your legal department launches a global, multi-departmental, [[all-hands conference call|all-hands]] effort to [[Risk taxonomy|taxonomise the risk]] your institution faces, or describe a complete [[service catalog]] of all the activities your [[legal eagles]] can be expected to do, is classic evidence of empty-stable inspection. But hey — it keeps folk busy and it makes for fantastic charts, so knock yourselves out!
