External Activation

From discovery to independent proof without founder orchestration.

Implement, evaluate, buy, operate or distribute Finality through explicit self-service paths. Seller readiness never promotes an external fact.

First Institution Activation Start with SCOPE

Activation state

Seller-controlled friction is closed. External facts remain external.

External Activation v1 evaluates the current evidence state with empty external inputs and therefore remains at A1. Its implementation package is Finality Global Outcome-Assurance v0.11.0; those are separate version domains.

External Activation: A1_SELF_SERVICE_READY
External evidence score: 0/8
E4 institution-controlled: NOT PERFORMED
E5 independent: NOT PERFORMED
Paid external adoption: 0
Production deployments: 0
Independent implementations: 0
Distribution: D0_NO_EXTERNAL_DISTRIBUTION
Neutral governance: NOT ESTABLISHED

Five paths

A stranger should know exactly what to do next.

Each path has a public starting point and an explicit evidence boundary.

IMPLEMENTERImplement Finality

Build a compatible implementation against the Minimal Assurance Profile, run conformance, attack it, and publish an attributable result.

EVALUATOREvaluate independently

Run institution-controlled E4 or independent E5 with hidden cases and externally controlled signing/trust roots.

BUYEREvaluate as an institution

Choose one consequential workflow in SCOPE, freeze authoritative state in Formal SCOPE, then continue to protected evaluation when authorized.

OPERATOROperate a Witness

Run the independent Witness/verifier path with isolated custody and no requirement for Finality credentials.

DISTRIBUTION_PARTNERDistribute Finality

Review channel packages for cloud marketplaces, enterprise stores, reseller or direct distribution without implying a live listing.

Institution flow

SCOPE → Formal SCOPE → protected evaluation → external proof → production.

The buyer controls the workflow and authoritative ending. Protected access is a separate authorization step; E4/E5/E6 appear only after outside parties perform the work.

01Discover / SCOPE

Pick one consequential workflow and test whether execution acknowledgement can diverge from authoritative reality.

Open SCOPE →

02Formal SCOPE

Freeze the required authoritative ending, contradiction rules, STOP conditions and hidden-case custody.

Open Formal SCOPE →

03Protected evaluation

Continue only after identity and Finality authorization are provisioned. Signed-out access remains fail-closed.

Review access requirements →

04E4 / E5

Institution-controlled validation and independent reproduction create evidence Finality cannot self-award.

Open external proof gate →

05E6 / production

Target-system production evidence may establish customer-live only after the existing activation truth gate passes.

Production readiness →

Distribution

Packages are prepared. External distribution is still zero.

Six seller-controlled channel packages reduce listing friction, but no marketplace listing, install or transaction is counted until externally evidenced.
