How Foundry widened a narrow ui-licenses proof into repeatable ERM wrapping evidence across Agreements, Open Access, and ILL.
What the FOLIO Licenses proof now demonstrates, how tenant work happens, and where Foundry goes next.
Turning the standalone FOLIO Licenses proof into the first durable Loom lifecycle foundation.
