## Notes

* Policies define specific checks that are applied to components
* Policies can have different enforcement levels that determine how violations are handled
* Policies are organized into initiatives

## Usage examples

List all policies with their enforcement levels:

```sql
SELECT id, description, enforcement
FROM policies
ORDER BY enforcement;
```

Find all blocking policies within a specific initiative:

```sql
SELECT *
FROM policies
WHERE initiative_id = 'security-compliance'
  AND enforcement IN ('block-pr', 'block-release', 'block-pr-and-release');
```

Get a count of policies by enforcement level:

```sql
SELECT 
  enforcement,
  COUNT(*) as policy_count
FROM policies
GROUP BY enforcement
ORDER BY policy_count DESC;
```
