Reading frameA specification, not a product: nothing here is sold, installed, or subscribed to. Review it as a draft standard, on the precision of its definitions, the consistency of its terms, its normative language, and its evidence. How to review →

Of the four pillars above, Identity and Ownership are Core Vocabulary terms; Lifecycle is defined at the Models tier; Evidence is specified at the Memory tier with its Definition reserved (AO-021); Governance, which the pillars do not name but every Object is required to have, is defined as a per-Object characteristic at no tier, and no ADR Candidate records the gap (AO-023).
