Institutional decision front sheet
One governed route, retained institutional authority.
- Certification is not the whole reliance decision. Rights, delivery, counterparty, claims and continuity remain visible.
- Capital must not move faster than verified evidence. Forecasts justify appraisal; physical milestones govern release.
- Transparency cost protects financeable value. Gaps exposed early cost less than rework, delay, replacement and reputational harm.
Terra Vita does not select or approve methodologies; provide legal, tax or investment advice; validate or verify; issue, authorise or register credits; approve capital or payments; or guarantee outcomes.

Eight-gate institutional Spine
Select a gate to inspect its decision record, evidence objects, registers, reviewer route and release posture.
Gate-to-register operating map
Fifteen controlled registers
The gate record is the decision index. It points to controlled registers and evidence objects; it is not a project score.
| Register | Minimum controlled fields | Gates | Purpose |
|---|
Live risk record
Nine risk domains
Every live risk entry retains source, materiality, owner, mitigation, evidence, reviewer, residual exposure and next review trigger.
Evidence-conditioned capital
Consolidated release and evidence rules
Release posture is a governance consequence of verified maturity—not a forecast-volume calculation.
Illustrative Gate 3 mechanism
Convert an evidence gap into a bounded decision.
Requested trancheEUR 500,000
Bounded mobilisationEUR 100,000
Withheld pending delivery evidenceEUR 400,000
Illustrative only. The named DFI or investment committee decides whether to accept the bounded exposure. Terra Vita records the condition and recommendation; it does not approve capital.
Independent challenge
Five-stage reviewer route
Reviewer identity, competence, independence, scope and retained authority are recorded before review begins.
Defensible institutional formulation
Status language with reliance boundaries
A status states scope, gate, evidence date, reviewer and limitations. It never implies a guarantee.
Based on the controlled evidence dated [date], the project record is [status] for [named gate and decision]. The statement is limited to the recorded scope, reviewer route, open conditions and residual risks; it is not a guarantee of external approval, issuance, volume, price or investment outcome.
Framework application layer
Connected ecosystem projects
Each project remains a distinct application of the reusable framework, with its own gate states, evidence posture, open conditions and reviewer route.
Framework-level control
Institutional adoption
This records adoption of the reusable route. It does not create, assess or approve a carbon project.
Time-bounded adoption
Ninety-day implementation route
The route exposes gaps and reaches a named decision; it does not create an indefinite review cycle.
Project-type neutral, context configurable
Gates and decision rules remain constant. Evidence, monitoring, reviewer and permanence controls adapt.
Provenance and change control
Controlled reference register
Each source must be rechecked before external circulation and whenever a programme, methodology, claims rule, government principle or link changes.
Machine-readable framework record
