Governed-by Control Zero Badge

The /settings/badge page generates a "Governed by Control Zero" badge you can embed in a README, a marketing page, or an internal wiki. The badge renders via shields.io, so it works anywhere Markdown or HTML image tags work.

Why it exists

Putting the badge on public-facing repos and internal READMEs gives your customers and contributors a quick visual signal that AI traffic in that repo / product is governed. It also doubles as a deep link into your public compliance page if you host one.

Shields.io URL format

The default badge uses:

https://img.shields.io/badge/Governed_by-Control_Zero-4f46e5?style=flat-square

• Left half: Governed_by (underscore becomes space).
• Right half: Control_Zero.
• Color: 4f46e5 (Control Zero indigo).
• Style: flat-square.

The page includes a live preview and a copy-to-clipboard button for each format.

Customization

The badge builder exposes four knobs:

• Label — the left-side text. Defaults to Governed by.
• Value — the right-side text. Defaults to Control Zero.
• Color — any hex color or shields.io named color. Defaults to Control Zero indigo.
• Style — flat, flat-square, plastic, for-the-badge, social.

Recommendations

• Link the badge to your own governance page if you have one; otherwise link it to https://controlzero.ai.
• Put the badge near the top of the README, next to CI and license badges, so it is visible without scrolling.
• For internal wikis, pair the badge with a one-sentence description of what "governed" means inside your organization.
