What the labels mean

Plain words for the engine's codes. The engine's own sentences are always shown as written.

Four separate statuses

A. Engine capability: In the engineWhether the engine has this capability.
A. Engine capability: Planned in the POCWhether the engine has this capability.
A. Engine capability: Planned after the POCWhether the engine has this capability.
B. This assessment: Populated and currentRead from this assessment's own snapshot.
B. This assessment: Waiting on a personRead from this assessment's own snapshot.
B. This assessment: Not reached yetRead from this assessment's own snapshot.
B. This assessment: Not currentRead from this assessment's own snapshot.
B. This assessment: Database predates this layerRead from this assessment's own snapshot.
B. This assessment: Not assessed in this engagementRead from this assessment's own snapshot.
B. This assessment: Can't be read yetRead from this assessment's own snapshot.
C. Workbench screen: Screen availableEvery North Star page has its product screen (NS-1).
D. Planned laterIn neither the engine nor the POC build. Listed on Current vs future.

What's real on these pages

Normal stylingRead from the engine, at the derived time shown on the page.
Engine summaryA sentence built from governed counts only. No executive narrative is recorded in the engine.
No governed narrative recordedA North Star element kept in place, with nothing invented inside it.
Not assessed, Not scheduled, Provider not chosenHonest states: the assessment holds nothing for this slot, and nothing is estimated in its place.
Internal only / In the client deliverableRead from the engine's own client view, item by item.
Copy command (Audit / Why? only)The exact command a person runs. The workbench records nothing.
Shape onlyA command shown for its shape (demo workspace), not offered.

2. Evidence inThe entity projection is current.
3. Estate connectedThe relationship projection is current.
4. Coverage checkedThe capability layers are current and no area is waiting on a governed input.

6. Flags reviewedFlags (conditions) awaiting a person's review.
7. Statements decidedStatements still waiting for a publish or withhold decision.
8. Client goalsConfirmed client goals.

12. Plan approvedAn approved plan for the approved decisions.
13. Package completeThe package's own completeness check.
14. ReleasedThe latest release record and whether it still matches the package.
15. DeliverableA rendered client edition whose binding still matches the package and, for a final edition, the current release.
DoneRecorded and current.
Waiting on a personA named person needs to act before this counts.
Can't proceed yetSomething upstream has to change first.
Nothing recorded yetNothing exists here yet. That is not the same as zero.
Can't be read yetThe engine can't build the package, so this stage can't be read. Nothing was guessed.
Planned in the POC (D2)The client deliverable renderer is planned in the POC (D2).
