Architecture & trust boundaries

Conceptual public-safe layers, information classes and approval gates. No private data, credentials, protected audit catalog or live system access.

Proposed design, not organizational approval or operational evidence. Public fictional demonstrations only; no sensitive information, live submissions or authority changes.

Youth choice

Public discovery → explicit goal approval

Trust-scoped human coordination

Current assignment → minimum necessary task

Verified reporting

Evidence → privacy review → permitted aggregate

Private reflections and restricted clinical notes do not flow into general coordination or executive reporting.

Prototype

ARCH-01 · Presentation layer

Id
ARCH-01
Status
Prototype
Boundary
Public youth discovery, explicit fictional practice, executive documentation and separate private account views.
Inputs
Public authored content; practice is local memory only.
Outputs
Navigation, proposed decisions and print/export documents; no authority is conferred.
Gate
A screen, menu or URL never establishes permission.
Dependencies
Accessible interfaces, professional language review and separately approved deployment.
Contained; positive lifecycle unverified

ARCH-02 · Identity and authorization

Id
ARCH-02
Status
Contained; positive lifecycle unverified
Boundary
Private-ID account lifecycle and independent Trust permissions, assignments, MFA and privileged provisioning.
Inputs
Verified caller identity and current scoped permission.
Outputs
Allow or deny only the authorized task; no staff override on youth owner-only policies.
Gate
Server/database checks, current role and assignment, verified activation, independent approvals and launch review.
Dependencies
Approved scoped lifecycle, revocation, recovery and cross-account tests; no synthetic production identities.
Proposed

ARCH-03 · Workflow coordination

Id
ARCH-03
Status
Proposed
Boundary
Human intake, triage, navigator assignment, referrals and supervised follow-up.
Inputs
Minimum necessary consented support request.
Outputs
Scoped task and verified outcome summary; referral does not equal delivery.
Gate
Current recipient eligibility, purpose, youth consent and qualified human judgment.
Dependencies
Staffing, safeguarding, training, vetted provider scope and recoverable operational services.
Classification unknown; backend changes blocked

ARCH-04 · Data and privacy

Id
ARCH-04
Status
Classification unknown; backend changes blocked
Boundary
Public content, temporary practice, youth-owned goals, separate private reflections, restricted clinical/financial evidence and audit.
Inputs
Only lawful purpose-limited information.
Outputs
Authorized owner/task views and privacy-reviewed aggregates; public documents read no account tables.
Gate
Owner-only youth access, separate clinical boundary, grants/RLS and retention/deletion review.
Dependencies
Classification attestation, actual backups, tested recovery and explicit migration approval.
Planned; live channels unconfigured

ARCH-05 · Integration boundary

Id
ARCH-05
Status
Planned; live channels unconfigured
Boundary
Future vetted communication, resource-provider and finance integrations; current AI/human examples are scripted.
Inputs
Only approved selected context and task identifiers; credentials remain server-only.
Outputs
Verified delivery/receipt evidence only after independent review.
Gate
Caller verification, scoped authorization, consent, provider contracts and independent finance duties.
Dependencies
Provider approval, monitoring, failure recovery and separate activation approval. No real phone number is supplied.
Proposed

ARCH-06 · Reporting and organizational intelligence

Id
ARCH-06
Status
Proposed
Boundary
Validated program evidence transformed to privacy-safe indicators.
Inputs
Authorized evidence with definitions, missingness and provenance.
Outputs
Suppressed aggregates for approved audiences, never youth histories or contributor identities.
Gate
Approved suppression and combination controls; no invented performance targets or causal impact claims.
Dependencies
KPI definitions, quality checks, permitted aggregation policy and executive interpretation review.
Existing containment; completeness unverified

ARCH-07 · Audit and observability

Id
ARCH-07
Status
Existing containment; completeness unverified
Boundary
Trust changes use authorization-checking functions with atomic audit writes; future workflow audit must be reviewed.
Inputs
Actor, scope, approved decision and minimal evidence references.
Outputs
Restricted audit trail and redacted diagnostics; no secrets or sensitive reflections.
Gate
Only authorized reviewers; logs are not a substitute for permission or verified evidence.
Dependencies
Incident ownership, retention, alerting, scope and tested failure/recovery behavior.
Shared environment; write and release gates remain

ARCH-08 · Environment and release

Id
ARCH-08
Status
Shared environment; write and release gates remain
Boundary
Existing project and shared preview/published backend. Drafts change code, not data isolation.
Inputs
Reviewed source and separately approved versioned migrations.
Outputs
Separately approved deployment with rollback; no publication in V6.0 documentation work.
Gate
No automatic migration, account creation, record modification, service activation or domain change.
Dependencies
Baseline, data classification, backup/recovery evidence, scoped testing and explicit release approval.

Information ownership and permitted flow

Public documentation

Owner
Public content reviewer
Access
Anonymous read; authored static content only
Retention
Source review/version policy to be agreed
Flow
Documentation → browser → print/export

Fictional practice

Owner
Explicit practice participant
Access
Memory-only session; no operational accounts
Retention
Exit, refresh and inactivity clear temporary content
Flow
Explicit entry → local practice → clearing

Youth goals

Owner
Young person
Access
Owner-only saved Journey; selected consent projection only
Retention
Organizational policy not yet approved
Flow
Owner goal → explicit approval → assigned task context

Private reflections

Owner
Young person
Access
Separate owner-only records; excluded from staff and public demonstrations
Retention
Organizational policy not yet approved
Flow
Owner → private reflection boundary; no general-network output

Clinical records

Owner
Qualified clinical authority
Access
Restricted assigned professionals under lawful policy
Retention
Clinical record policy and legal review pending
Flow
Limited lawful referral → clinical boundary → approved nonclinical summary

Financial evidence

Owner
Finance control owner
Access
Distinct request, approval, fulfillment and reconciliation duties
Retention
Finance record and appeal policy pending
Flow
Authorized need → independent approval → fulfillment → reconciliation

Contribution evidence

Owner
Development and verification owners
Access
Approved project/task scope; participation never grants youth access
Retention
Contribution/privacy policy pending
Flow
Offer → accepted commitment → independent verification; money/time/items separate

Aggregates and audit

Owner
Reporting and governance owners
