The Determination Gate Submission Interface initiation of a determination

Purpose

This submission initiates a Decision Integrity Diagnostic™.

The determination answers one question only:
Wether execution may continue under present conditions - or must stop.

It does not
- provide options, recommendations, or reassurances
- clarify strategy, improve execution, or performance
- validate momentum or provide institutional cover
- suggest next steps or alternatives

It issues a determination.
‍

Definition of Execution

For the purposes of this determination, execution refers to:

The continuation of a strategic initiative, transaction, program, deployment, or binding commitment already in motion - not routine operations, tactical or discretional activity.

Determination Terms

Scope
A bounded determination of whether execution remains permissible under current conditions.

Binding Effect
‍The outcome is final for the conditions assessed. It is sufficient for fiduciary and board reliance.

Duration
Initiated only upon receipt of all required inputs.
Issued within a fixed window appropriate to the risk assessed.
‍

Fee and Mandate Constraint

The determination fee is not compensation for advice, analysis, time, effort, or outcome. It reflects the irreversible loss this determination exists to prevent.

Submission confirms that:
- the request is authorized at the appropriate fiduciary level
- refusal is an acceptable and binding outcome
- the determination is sought for governance integrity, not optional consultation

The fee is not negotiable.
It does not create entitlement.
Submission without mandate invalidates the process.

Where jurisdiction is refused, no further obligation exists.
‍

Jurisdictional Boundary

Submission constitutes acknowledgment that:

- execution may be required to stop
- refusal is not appealable
- outcomes may precede explanation

If refusal is unacceptable, do not submit.

Submission is appropriate only when execution is already advancing under constraint.
‍

Calibration Requirement

The calibration question is not instructional.
It exists to test whether the condition is already concrete.

Vagueness typically indicates one of the following:
– insufficient proximity to consequence
– timing that has not yet arrived
– an attempt to preserve optionality that no longer exists.

If the condition cannot be named, this submission should not be made.

This determination does not clarify strategy.
It tests whether continuation itself remains permissible.
‍

Submission Boundary

Submissions are constrained by design.

This submission:
- does not initiate an engagement
- does not open a conversation
- does not provide cover or validation
- does not continue execution

It exists solely to determine whether permission still exists.

Jurisdictional Scope

The Determination Gate operates only at the boundary where execution is already in motion and reversibility is no longer assured.

It does not operate within strategy formation, planning, design, optimization, or execution.

It does not evaluate merit, quality, performance, or outcomes.

Its sole function is to determine permissibility under the conditions presented.

What Will Not Be Accepted

The following are categorically excluded:

- Hypothetical scenarios
- Exploratory or anticipatory inquiries
- Early-stage strategy, planning, or design work
- Requests for advice, validation, optimization, or risk mitigation
- Requests made without identified mandating authority
- Requests seeking justification, cover, endorsement, or insulation

The Determination Gate is not an intake mechanism and does not surface alternatives.

Determination Authority

Where jurisdiction is accepted, a determination may be issued solely to the mandating authority.

That determination:
- binds the mandating authority with respect to permissibility under the conditions assessed
- carries no recommendations
- does not authorize execution
- does not transfer responsibility
- does not substitute for legal, regulatory, or fiduciary judgment

There is no appeal, revision, or negotiation.

Determination Outcomes

A determination resolves to one of two states:

A. Execution may proceed
B. Execution must not proceed

‍There is no intermediate result or outcome.

Refusal is not a delay.
Refusal is a conclusion.

Calibration Question

What specific initiative, transaction, or commitment can no longer continue as-is without crossing an irreversibility threshold?*

Submission Control

Submission initiates determination only.
No advisory, execution, or problem-solving follows.

Thank you! Your submission has been received!

Oops! Something went wrong while submitting the form.

Closing Boundary

When permission holds, no action is required.
When permission fails, stopping is not delay — it is the only legitimate outcome.

This boundary does not expire.
It remains until permissibility arrives — or until consequence makes the decision irreversible.

This determination exists to prevent irreversible harm — not to validate momentum.
