RELIANCE
A certificate is not unlimited permission to depend.
R0–R4 define progressively stronger technical reliance requirements. Contractual, financial and regulated reliance remain externally controlled.
Profiles
Evidence burden rises with consequence.
Every profile preserves tenant, contract and trust-domain binding; evidence from one contract cannot promote another.
R1
operational reliance
R2
contractual reliance: requires qualifying E4 external evidence plus Witness and definitive agreement
R3
financial reliance: requires qualifying E5 independent reproduction, production dependency, Witness and definitive agreement
R4
regulated/assured reliance: requires qualifying E6, stronger independent assurance, Witness quorum and applicable legal/regulatory acceptance
Current state
R2–R4 remain HOLD.
No definitive customer agreement, independent reproduction, production dependency, external Witness quorum, insurance capacity or regulatory acceptance is claimed.
