Governance Rules¶

Compliance changes must route through Compliance Domain workflows.
Tender-specific checks must preserve tender requirement references.
Corrective actions must identify owner, due date, source gap, and expected outcome.
Escalations must identify business impact and urgency.
Compliance outputs must avoid presenting operational support as final legal advice.
