Governance Boundaries
Scope
This section specifies the canonical governance boundaries for decision integrity, evidence accountability, and permissible claims (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 2015).
Governance Boundaries
Governance boundaries constrain how decisions are justified, how evidence is interpreted, and how accountability is assigned within the canonical framework (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 2015).
Roles and Decision Rights
Canonical roles and decision rights exist as normative constraints, defining who may authorize or invalidate decisions within the governance boundary (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), 2015). This specification remains abstract and non-operational; see Definitions.
Traceability and Auditability
Decisions and evidence must remain traceable and auditable within the governance boundary (ISO/TC 176, 2016). These requirements apply to evidence logic and decision thresholds; see Evidence Logic and Decision Theory.
Compliance Boundaries
Compliance claims are bounded by the canonical specification. The canon defines what can and cannot be claimed as compliant, and any claim outside those limits is non-canonical.
Misuse Boundaries
Misuse boundaries define prohibited representations and applications of MCF, as constrained by the canonical specification and governance limits.
Non-Operational Boundary
This section does not define operational governance processes, controls, or compliance programs.
