AWS Evidence
Account metadata
Which account was assessed and how it sits in an organisation. Context for the reader, and never counted towards evidence confidence.

What it is
The account identifier, its alias, whether it is a member of an organisation, and whether it is the management account.
Why it is collected
So the pack can state exactly what was scanned. A governance assessment that cannot name its own subject is not auditable.
How GovIntel applies it
Printed as scan scope in the pack. Collection errors are recorded rather than swallowed, so a permission failure produces a visible gap rather than a metadata file that looks successful.
What it does not mean
It is context, not a governance domain. It establishes no governance position and never counts towards evidence confidence.
