SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)
SAFe organizes Agile Release Trains and value streams, synchronizes many teams on shared Program Increments, and shifts portfolio funding to value streams, covering Structure, Coordination, Flow, and Resources, while leaving mastery and incentives to other practices.

The origin of the framework, as the directory records it. The mark grades the origin, not this page.
Umbrex, SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework)
The directory entry this score was read from. Umbrex is a consultancy network; its summary is the reference, not a primary source.
Scored against the twelve cells, it loads four: Structure, Coordination, Flow, and Resources. The other eight it leaves to you. None of Composition, Evidence, or Mastery is among them, which is the usual result in this directory: the questions an agent in the loop raises first are the ones the literature answers least.
The library already carries it as Agile at scale, and that entry holds the full sources and the cells in detail.
This is not a summary of the framework. Umbrex has one; the link under Sources goes there.
What is the smallest unit that can own a customer outcome end to end?
What synchronizes the work when there is no room and half the team is not a person?
What limits throughput, and what is supposed to happen when the line stops?
What is owned, what is rented, and what is summoned only when needed?
