Foundational
Certification Standard
Defines the canonical structure for certification determinations, including lifecycle, workflow, evidence, logic, schema, scoring, trust, and governance expectations.
Open Certification →Suite · Standards
Satoshium Standards
Satoshium Standards define the canonical rule layer used across the Satoshium Suite.
These standards establish what the Suite recognizes, evaluates, records, publishes, and preserves across its certification, registry, attestation, discovery, and verification systems.
Core
Evidence Standard
Defines what counts as evidence, how evidence is categorized, how evidence quality is assessed, and how evidence supports reviewable determinations.
Open Evidence →Core
Trust Standard
Defines how trust signals are identified, interpreted, limited, and communicated across Suite records and public verification surfaces.
Open Trust →Core
Scoring Standard
Defines how scores may be calculated, bounded, explained, and connected to certification outcomes without replacing human-readable evidence.
Open Scoring →Standards Governance
Governance Standard
Defines how official Suite Standards are maintained, changed, versioned, deprecated, superseded, and preserved.
Governance Standard → standards-governance instrument.
Suite Governance Model → broader constitutional governance framework for authority, institutional sovereignty, canonical ownership, governance decisions, change control, and historical preservation.

Suite-Wide
Interoperability Standard
Defines how Suite tools exchange, reference, and interpret records consistently across Certifier, Registry, Anchor, Beacon, Attestor, Navigator, Chronicle, and Atlas.
Open Interoperability →Technical
Schema Standard
Defines expectations for machine-readable structures, shared objects, stable identifiers, metadata, and validation-ready Suite records.
Open Schemas →Reference
Terminology Standard
Defines canonical terms used across the Suite so that certification, attestation, registry, evidence, trust, and discovery language remains consistent.
Open Terminology →Versioned
Versions Standard
Preserves the historical development of Satoshium Standards and identifies which version applies to a record, decision, or implementation.
Open Versions Standard →Standards Governance vs. Suite Governance
The Governance Standard governs the maintenance and evolution of official Suite Standards. The broader Satoshium Suite Governance Model governs constitutional authority, institutional sovereignty, institutional change, governance decisions, change control, accountability, versioning, and historical preservation across the Suite.
Governance Standard → standards governance.
Suite Governance Model → constitutional governance.
Current controlling governance decision → GDR-2026-0026.
Review does not equal approval. Authority follows the governed subject.

Standards Role
Standards are the rule layer of the Satoshium Suite. They define what the system expects, what tools must implement, and how public records remain reviewable across time.
Without standards, the Suite becomes a collection of tools. With standards, the Suite
becomes a protocol ecosystem.
