Authority clarity
Mandates, accountable actors, reviewer roles and decision boundaries are visible.
A protected, non-scoring layer for checking whether a programme is ready to enter institutional review. It classifies authority, evidence, MRV, finance, assurance and export conditions without rating the project or advising on investment.
Why this layer exists
The missing layer is not a TRARO-style score. It is a governed institutional readiness route. It shows what is complete, what is conditional, what is missing, and what must be closed before protected diligence, assurance or export reliance can proceed.
Exact placement
Seven readiness domains
Mandates, accountable actors, reviewer roles and decision boundaries are visible.
Evidence objects have source, time, custody, context and continuity references.
Actor, asset, activity and outcome links are traceable before claims are relied upon.
Indicators, methods, baselines and measurement boundaries can be attached to review.
Budget, tranche logic, conditions, non-debt rules and responsibilities are reviewable.
Verification, lock, admissibility, reliance and reviewer dependencies are clear.
Committee packs, release gates, export register reference and revocation path are controlled.
Allowed states
| State | Meaning | What it avoids |
|---|---|---|
| Not reviewed | No readiness determination has been made. | No implied weakness, no hidden fail score. |
| Incomplete | Required evidence or authority objects are missing. | No investment judgement. |
| Emerging | Basic structure exists, but closure items remain open. | No public ranking. |
| Reviewable | Institutional reviewers can inspect the route with known conditions. | No approval or certification. |
| Conditioned | Review can continue only if recorded conditions are addressed. | No automatic pass/fail. |
| Export ready | Current posture can be packaged for controlled institutional circulation. | No funding decision or rating. |
| Blocked | A defined authority, evidence, MRV, finance or assurance break prevents reliance. | No reputational score. |
Operating model
Each programme or project has a protected readiness case with stage, posture, open conditions and export state.
Each case is reviewed across the seven readiness domains using qualitative posture states and reviewer notes.
Missing documents, authority gaps, MRV gaps and export blockers are tracked as named conditions with owners.
