Procruste

Project procrustes is a requirements { policies, procedures, and technology } interoperability database. Its name comes from the mythological inn-keeper. Its benefit is to provide small associated companies the capability to leverage their partnerships, to make more effective use of each other's capabilities and to deliver highly robust and compatible services, including those services provided by so-called products (useful only for the services they provide).

The metaphor comes from the pair product rule: are you on the leading edge, or is it the bleeding edge of change? You make your own bed and lie in it.
