corporate · AVC

Canonical language for the AVC system.

Authority, evidence, maturity, risk and agent state use one vocabulary across every product and page.

Core vocabulary

The terms that hold the AVC system together.

Each term has a distinct operational meaning.

Owner Authority
Ultimate, non-delegable control over ownership, root credentials and protected constraints.
Human-owned
Company Kernel
Permanent product-agnostic control plane for policy, jobs, evidence, memory and recovery.
Implemented
Capability
A time-, purpose-, scope-, environment- and risk-bounded grant.
Revocable
Product Cell
An isolated venture with its own market, data, budget, metrics and lifecycle scope.

Source-backed
Incident

Canonical terminology

One vocabulary connects contracts, products and public claims.

Other documents link to canonical terms rather than redefining authority, evidence, jobs or Product Cells according to local convenience.

Status awareness

Definitions include maturity when a concept is planned or experimental.

A named target architecture component is not presented as an implemented module.

Contract relationship

The glossary navigates; executable schemas remain runtime authority.

Terminology and code stay aligned through source references and verification against an identified commit.
