In mathematics, a tame topology is a hypothetical topology proposed by Alexander Grothendieck in his research program Esquisse d’un programme[1] under the French name topologie modérée (moderate topology). It is a topology in which the theory of dévissage can be applied to stratified structures such as semialgebraic or semianalytic sets,[2] and which excludes some pathological spaces that do not correspond to intuitive notions of spaces.
Some authors consider an o-minimal structure to be a candidate for realizing tame topology in the real case.[3][4] There are also some other suggestions.[5]

We conceive this package of results as a dévissage of stratified structures in the sense of Grothendieck.
