Decision Provenance Standard™ v1.0 · Reading Edition (rev. 8)

Diagram Gallery

The eight reference figures of the Standard, each with a full text alternative. These are explanatory aids; the normative text governs. For the complete long-form descriptions, see Companion D.

These figures are explanatory aids, not normative. The text of the Standard is the contract; every figure here illustrates a section of that text. Where a figure and the normative text appear to differ, the text governs. Full text alternatives for every figure are in Companion D — Diagrams.

Charter lifecycle state machine: a forward-only sequence open, mode-declared, fields-required, fields-completed, closed, with a dashed off-ramp from closed to a new Charter carrying prior_charter_ref.
Figure 3-1 — Charter Lifecycle State Machine. Charter lifecycle state machine: a forward-only sequence open, mode-declared, fields-required, fields-completed, closed, with a dashed off-ramp from closed to a new Charter carrying prior_charter_ref. Illustrates §3.3.
Mode dispatch grammar: two aligned altitude fields mode_declaration and dispatch_mode feeding an exhaustive three-value enumeration, with an inset showing content-level authorship for the embedded-Mode-2 edge case.
Figure 3-2 — Mode Dispatch Grammar and the Embedded-Mode-2 Edge Case. Mode dispatch grammar: two aligned altitude fields mode_declaration and dispatch_mode feeding an exhaustive three-value enumeration, with an inset showing content-level authorship for the embedded-Mode-2 edge case. Illustrates §3.4, §4.4, §4.7.
Article 50 disclosure flow: five required fields feeding a four-of-five anonymization gate where four fields pass unchanged and only declaring-authority may transform to the value anonymized-deployer-class:product-organization.
Figure 4-1 — Article 50 Disclosure-Metadata Flow. Article 50 disclosure flow: five required fields feeding a four-of-five anonymization gate where four fields pass unchanged and only declaring-authority may transform to the value anonymized-deployer-class:product-organization. Illustrates §4.6.2, §4.6.3.
Mode-drift mitigation as a four-row matrix of orthogonal layers by Layer, Actor, Detection moment, and Coverage, plus a phased Layer 1 rollout timeline strip.
Figure 4-2 — Mode-Drift Four-Layer Composed Mitigation. Mode-drift mitigation as a four-row matrix of orthogonal layers by Layer, Actor, Detection moment, and Coverage, plus a phased Layer 1 rollout timeline strip. Illustrates §4.8.1.
Emission-cadence as a three-row temporal strip: Level 1 signals fire at Charter-state events, Level 2 signals split into per-record and audit-cadence firing, Level 3 signals fire continuously.
Figure 4-3 — Emission-Cadence by Semantic Class. Emission-cadence as a three-row temporal strip: Level 1 signals fire at Charter-state events, Level 2 signals split into per-record and audit-cadence firing, Level 3 signals fire continuously. Illustrates §4.8.2.
Decision-record state machine drawn as two visually separate lanes: Family A schema dispatch states dispatched, drafted, closed with a review-required interrupt and re-opened-with-mode-migration loop; Family B lifecycle states draft, reviewed, affirmed.
Figure 5-1 — Decision-Record State Machine: Two Distinct State Families. Decision-record state machine drawn as two visually separate lanes: Family A schema dispatch states dispatched, drafted, closed with a review-required interrupt and re-opened-with-mode-migration loop; Family B lifecycle states draft, reviewed, affirmed. Illustrates §5.1, §6.2.
Artifact-set relationship map: a Charter governs a decision class, declares a Mode, commits a Schedule of Records, names accountable_owner, and declares conformance_level_declared; the Schedule enumerates five record-types; a Decision Record carries dispatch_mode and conditionally attaches an Article 50 Disclosure Block; Conformance Signals grade Conformance Levels; a one-way dashed pointer leads to the deploying organization's methodology.
Figure 6-1 — Artifact-Set Relationship Map. Artifact-set relationship map: a Charter governs a decision class, declares a Mode, commits a Schedule of Records, names accountable_owner, and declares conformance_level_declared; the Schedule enumerates five record-types; a Decision Record carries dispatch_mode and conditionally attaches an Article 50 Disclosure Block; Conformance Signals grade Conformance Levels; a one-way dashed pointer leads to the deploying organization's methodology. Illustrates §3, §5, §6, §7 (orientation).
Three conformance levels drawn as nested bands: Level 1 Charter-Conformant with seven criteria innermost, Level 2 Mode-Disambiguated with four criteria, Level 3 Continuously Auditable with four criteria, with a cumulative rule and a non-claim footer.
Figure 7-1 — The Three Conformance Levels: Cumulative Criteria. Three conformance levels drawn as nested bands: Level 1 Charter-Conformant with seven criteria innermost, Level 2 Mode-Disambiguated with four criteria, Level 3 Continuously Auditable with four criteria, with a cumulative rule and a non-claim footer. Illustrates §7.2, §7.3, §7.4.
