Platform statuses are part of the claim

Platform vocabulary

Definitions with the same weight as claims.

Federated Trust uses a small, deliberate vocabulary. Every term here is the same word used in the docs, in the contracts, and in the status entries, so a reader never has to guess what a phrase means.

Platform termsStatus labels

Platform terms

Identity

The recognised person, application, or agent established independently from any single application.

Authority

What a recognised actor is permitted to do inside a specific organization context. Authority is narrower than identity.

Custody

The party that holds the protected business material and the key services. Custody is decided per deployment profile.

Delegation

A recorded, reviewable, revocable grant of narrowly-attenuated authority from one actor to another.

Relying service

A resource server or business surface that evaluates authorization at request time. It retains final deny in every profile.

Deployment profile

One of managed, customer-controlled, or isolated: a named target shape for where business data and keys live and who operates them.

Final deny

The resource service retains the last word on any action. No claim can override the local deny. This invariant survives every deployment profile.

Status labels

Every public claim carries one of these six labels. The label is part of the claim, not a footnote.

Implemented
Implemented in a Federated Trust service path with current evidence. The named deployment and evidence scope still matter.
Limited / pilot
Code or contracts exist, but integration, operational, or assurance gates still prevent general availability.
Designed
An approved target shape or contract that is not represented as generally available. A validated deployment package is still required.
Planned
A stated engineering target that is not represented as implemented, generally available, or deployed today.
Independently validated
Implemented and assessed independently for a named scope and evidence date. This label does not extend beyond that evidence.
Governing reference
Authoritative material used to guide design and review. This status is not a certification or a universal conformance claim.
