Poesis / Catalog / Qualities

Qualities

Attributes of what bears them: the platform, a solution or a product. Each states one claim and the boundary that claim excludes. Capabilities and features carry delivery; qualities carry behavior.

29 qualities across 6 categories

Portability & sovereignty

Local, self-hosted and hosted routes each carry their own acceptance boundary.

  • Quality Implemented

    Model independence

    Governance does not depend on one provider

    Model profiles support selection for bounded tasks. Each host mapping and model change needs compatibility and quality checks.

    • Interoperability
    • Portability & sovereignty
    Borne by Organization Intelligence Platform(1)
  • Quality Implemented

    Local and sovereign execution

    Define the data boundary explicitly

    Local execution supports control, but models, tools, telemetry, remotes and backups can transmit data. Egress and retention policies remain necessary.

    • Isolation
    • Portability & sovereignty
    Borne by Organization Intelligence Platform(1)
  • Quality Implemented

    Cloud where appropriate

    Managed infrastructure without ceding control

    Deploy services through managed infrastructure where it makes sense, while the control boundary stays explicit rather than assumed.

    • Portability & sovereignty
    Borne by Organization Intelligence Platform(1)
  • Quality Implemented

    Vendor-neutral standard

    Governance you can inspect, not a black box

    GSM is a candidate common Definition model. Interchange requirements support inspectability; compatible consumers and draft-preserving migration still need acceptance.

    • Openness
    • Portability & sovereignty
    Borne by Organization Intelligence Platform(1)
  • Quality Implemented

    Open and inspectable

    Trust cannot be proprietary

    GSM specification content exists in source, with publication pending. SAF local tools use Apache-2.0; SIE and the planned bridge have separate licenses. Inspect each product and its terms.

    • Openness
    • Portability & sovereignty
    Borne by Organization Intelligence Platform(1)
  • Quality Partial

    Runs where you work

    No delivery-plane tenancy to adopt

    The harness and workspace operate on local checkouts under Apache-2.0. Hosts and model routes are declared rather than assumed.

    • Portability & sovereignty

Interoperability

Governed THINK connects to the BUILD and RUN environments you already operate.

  • Quality Planned

    Git repositories

    Planned candidates from pinned revisions

    Supported analysis is planned to produce reviewable candidates. Acquisition, conflict reduction and governed registration are distinct steps.

    • Interoperability
    Borne by Organization Intelligence Platform(1)
  • Quality Planned

    API contracts

    The interaction surface of your estate

    Planned adapters describe declared interaction surfaces with explicit coverage. Contracts alone do not prove actual traffic or applicable obligations.

    • Interoperability
    Borne by Organization Intelligence Platform(1)
  • Quality Planned

    SBOMs

    Planned dependency evidence

    SBOM analysis identifies declared dependencies in a supported scope. Presence does not prove deployed use, reachability or compliance.

    • Interoperability
    Borne by Organization Intelligence Platform(1)
  • Quality Planned

    Infrastructure

    Separate intent from observations

    Planned infrastructure sourcing reads declared configuration. Deployed identity, observation time and coverage are needed to describe what runs.

    • Governability
    • Interoperability
    Borne by Organization Intelligence Platform(1)
  • Quality Partial

    Named conformance profiles

    Conformance is stated against a profile

    Definition interchange is scoped to a declared profile. A processor conforms to profiles it names, not to the model as a whole.

    • Interoperability
    • Openness
  • Quality Planned

    Testable requirements

    Requirements are meant to be executed

    Interchange requirements are written to be testable. A conformance suite and compatible consumers still need acceptance.

    • Determinism
    • Interoperability

Governability

Who decided what, on which revision, and what the decision does not assert.

Determinism

Reproducible outcomes from pinned inputs, so probabilistic work never becomes the authority.

  • Quality Partial

    Pure verdicts

    The same inputs give the same verdict

    Norm evaluation is scoped and side-effect free. Rule and input versions are part of the verdict; continuous operation additionally needs observations and scheduling.

    • Determinism
  • Quality Partial

    Bounded execution

    Mechanisms run inside a declared sandbox

    Mechanism execution is confined to a declared protocol surface. Effect safety and authorized action remain acceptance boundaries.

    • Determinism
    • Isolation
  • Quality Planned

    Explicit unknowns

    Missing evidence is a result, not a pass

    Applicability, freshness and unknown states are first-class outcomes. An unevaluated obligation is never reported as satisfied.

    • Determinism
    • Governability
  • Quality Partial

    Contracted artifacts

    Written artifacts are checked against a schema

    Mediated writes are validated against matched schemas. Scope is structured data and Markdown metadata; prose quality has a separate boundary.

    • Determinism
    • Governability
  • Quality Partial

    Qualified model routes

    Ranking alone does not establish suitability

    Model profiles are selected by task capability and configured cost ranking. Routes are qualified using retained workload-specific quality, cost and disclosure evidence.

    • Determinism
    • Portability & sovereignty

Isolation

Every read, write and disclosure resolves inside a declared boundary.

  • Quality Partial

    Tenant-scoped storage

    Definitions never leave their tenant schema

    Retained snapshots and queries resolve within a tenant boundary. Tenant/object authorization across the full API surface is being completed.

    • Isolation
  • Quality Partial

    Authenticated by default

    Only declared endpoints are public

    The authenticated shell exists; health and info endpoints are the declared exceptions. Permissive local behavior stays profile-gated.

    • Isolation
  • Quality Planned

    Role and attribute access

    Role and attribute both bound the request

    Planned enforcement combines role grants with object attributes. External identity synchronization is a separate, recoverable concern.

    • Governability
    • Isolation
  • Quality Planned

    Disclosure limits

    What a route may be told is bounded

    Instruction delivery and disclosure limits are evaluated per workload. A host change is a change of behavior, not a configuration detail.

    • Isolation

Openness

Definitions, provenance and terms can be inspected rather than taken on trust.

  • Quality Partial

    Model-native taxonomy

    Each framework keeps its own structure

    TOGAF, ISO 25000, GDPR, NIS2 and protocol vocabularies are sourced under their own taxonomies. Composition happens through Directives, not schema cross-references.

    • Interoperability
    • Openness
  • Quality Partial

    Cited provenance

    Every sourced statement names its clause

    Sourced Directives and Norms cite the section they derive from. Citation supports review; it does not establish legal completeness.

    • Governability
    • Openness
  • Quality Partial

    Stable identity

    Published identifiers are not rewritten

    Archetype identifiers are logical and versioned. Content exists in source; publication, neutral stewardship and processor conformance are separate steps.

    • Interoperability
    • Openness
