Proof, provenance and delivery state

What exists. What is draft. What the founding phase creates.

The Initiative distinguishes available foundation assets from draft methodology and future programme commitments. Nothing proposed is presented as validated or already endorsed.

Foundation release rule

Every public claim carries a state.

Exists means the artefact is available. Draft means it requires review or validation. Proposed means it is a committed output of an approved founding phase. Quantitative impact figures are targets or addressable ambitions until independently evidenced.
