Institutional evaluation

A controlled path from architecture review to production acceptance

Use this framework to structure technical due diligence. It identifies the decisions and evidence to request; it does not represent a completed certification or customer outcome.

01

Architecture review

Define participants, venues, interfaces, trust boundaries and operating constraints.

Gate: agreed target architecture
02

Controlled validation

Test representative flows, failure modes, observability and operational controls in a bounded environment.

Gate: documented validation results
03

Production acceptance

Confirm ownership, service objectives, change controls, evidence retention and rollback readiness.

Gate: signed acceptance criteria
