One lifecycle. Two connected layers.
The operational record proves what happened. The constitutional lifecycle assesses, determines, publishes, and communicates externally reliable standing or outcomes.
What happened operationally
Capture, Assignment, Acceptance, Response State, Action, Evidence, and Verification preserve the operational chain and its proof.
- EVENT 01Capture
A responsibility event is identified, recorded, and scoped.
- EVENT 02Assignment
Responsibility is allocated to an identified party.
- EVENT 03Acceptance
The assigned party records acceptance of the responsibility.
- EVENT 04Response State
The current response state and applicable conditions are recorded.
- EVENT 05Action
Operational action is taken under the accepted responsibility.
- EVENT 06Evidence
Material evidence of the action and outcome is preserved.
- EVENT 07Verification
The evidence and claim are independently examined.
What may be relied upon externally
Verification assesses evidence. Recognition determines the institutional result. The Registry publishes current standing. A Receipt provides a portable reference to that published result.
- STAGE 07Verification
The evidence and claim are independently examined.
- STAGE 08Recognition
An authorised decision determines whether the verified claim is recognised.
- STAGE 09Registry
The recognised result and its standing are published authoritatively.
- STAGE 10Receipt
A retrievable receipt states Registry standing at a defined point in time.
