K06 assurance and procurement architecture
Procurement Architecture
Direct answer
K06 makes critical-datacenter assurance procurable through ten bounded work packages. Each package names its inputs, deliverables, acceptance evidence, dependencies, and exclusions.
Procurement principle
A procurement package must specify the protected mission, authority, site facts, technical boundaries, acceptance evidence, unresolved applicability, excluded work, independent verification, and post-deployment observation. Buying a product name is not an assurance argument.
Bound the mission
Establish authority, prohibited outcomes, consequence thresholds, asset ownership, and decision rights.
Buy evidence, not slogans
Require reproducible deliverables, negative results, open defects, build and model identity, recovery evidence, and source qualifications.
Observe deployment separately
Contract completion, package integrity, successful testing, and live operation are distinct states with distinct evidence.
