K06 assurance and procurement architecture

Assurance Dependency Graph

Direct answer

The K06 graph prevents a current assurance claim from surviving when mandatory evidence becomes stale, unavailable, invalid, revoked, superseded, or defeated. Its reference evidence is synthetic and does not describe a live facility.

Authority and evidence boundary. K06 publishes reference architecture, source review, machine-checkable dependencies, procurement scope, and test-evidence formats. These records do not certify a facility, award a contract, authorize an operation, prove deployment, establish current operation, or transfer regulatory or command authority.

Readable layered dependency map

The visual order is deliberately linear rather than radial: top claim → assurance claim → control or contained test → evidence. No single technical fact is allowed to prove every other status.

Claim dependency summary

Propagation rules

  1. PR-K06-01. When evidence state is STALE or SUPERSEDED, dependent control and test become DEGRADED; claims using them cannot remain SATISFIED without independent current support.
  2. PR-K06-02. When evidence state is INVALID or REVOKED, dependent control or test becomes FAILED; mandatory supporting claims become FAILED.
  3. PR-K06-03. When evidence state is UNAVAILABLE, dependent state becomes UNRESOLVED unless another explicit evidence path is current.
  4. PR-K06-04. When a claim defeater is active, that claim becomes FAILED regardless of positive evidence until the defeater is resolved.
  5. PR-K06-05. When authority or deterministic-safety claim fails, top claim becomes FAILED; other claim degradation yields top-claim DEGRADED.
