Spine — Alignment and Execution Coherence
Spine is where alignment becomes load-bearing. It tests whether institutions can carry execution at scale, under timing pressure, across programmes, partners, and jurisdictions.
Purpose
The Spine ensures that evidence has a governed path to authority, authority has a governed path to execution, execution is coherent, traceable, and reviewable, and scale does not break alignment.
Reviewer instruction
Assess whether alignment can hold under load. Look for coherence, not activity. Look for governed execution, not movement.
Deep-Structure Layers of the Spine
These layers map directly to the governance spine architecture.
Evidence Layer
Structured, attributed, reconstructable evidence.
Intelligence Layer
System-level interpretation that is reviewable, not opaque.
Decision Routing & Approvals
Governed pathways from evidence to authority.
MRV Integration
Embedded measurement, reporting, and verification.
Funding Governance
Alignment between financial authority and execution reality.
Export & Assurance Layer
Audit-ready outputs, reviewer-traceable, policy-aligned.
