Decision register
| ID | Decision | Authority | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| DEC-001 | Use a three-layer terminology architecture. | HA | FROZEN |
| DEC-002 | PRISM Commerce = Proxy Retail with Inventoryless Sourcing Model. | HA | FROZEN |
| DEC-003 | Consumer description = Global Shopping Platform. | HA | FROZEN |
| DEC-004 | Financial short = MoR Inventoryless Retail. | HA | FROZEN |
| DEC-005 | Financial full = Merchant-of-Record Cross-Border Retail Platform with Virtual Inventory and On-Demand Sourcing. | HA | FROZEN |
| DEC-006 | Technical short = Asset-Light Global Retail Platform. | HA | FROZEN |
| DEC-007 | Technical full includes Virtual Inventory, On-Demand Sourcing and Distributed Expert Curation. | HA | FROZEN |
| DEC-008 | Expert Commerce Curator / Expert-Curated Storefront / Distributed Expert Curation Network. | HA | FROZEN |
| DEC-009 | Base architecture: expert is not seller; platform is unified retailer/MoR. | HA | FROZEN |
| DEC-016 | Add Market Access Enablement / инфраструктурное обеспечение доступа к неохваченным рынкам with the approved definition and mandatory no-circumvention boundary recorded in FROZEN_TERMINOLOGY.md. | HA | FROZEN |
| DEC-017 | Publish the Foundational Paper and Canonical Specification as two separate Zenodo records with two separate DOIs; connect them through related identifiers and do not combine them under one DOI. | HA | APPROVED PUBLICATION ARCHITECTURE |
| DEC-018 | Use Andrei Pobezhimov as Creator, Побежимов Андрей Станиславович as the full Russian name in metadata/provenance, and https://orcid.org/0009-0002-5217-5593 as ORCID. | HA | APPROVED |
| DEC-019 | Do not state an institutional affiliation for the first publication and do not associate the originating publication with a specific commercial company. | HA | APPROVED |
| DEC-020 | License the documentation under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0), preserving authorship, provenance, and attribution without framing the license as exclusive rights in the underlying business idea or method. | HA | APPROVED |
| DEC-021 | Use the actual date of first public publication for each Zenodo record; do not manufacture or backdate a publication date. | HA | APPROVED |
| DEC-022 | Use the DOI URL of each Zenodo record as its canonical citation URL at the first publication stage. A future Canonical Source website may become the primary web reference, while the DOI remains the persistent citation identifier. | HA | APPROVED |
| DEC-023 | Create the public OSF mirror/research record only after the first Zenodo publication; OSF must not precede the canonical Zenodo records. | HA | APPROVED SEQUENCE |
| DEC-024 | Keep the current Git repository as version history, source history, audit trail, and provenance repository. Public Git publication is not required and requires a separate Human Authority decision. | HA | APPROVED |
| DEC-025 | Correct the authoritative creator ORCID to https://orcid.org/0009-0002-5217-5593. | HA | APPROVED CORRECTION |
| DEC-026 | Use PRISM Commerce Initiative as the public name of the independent professional knowledge initiative. It documents the model, publishes canonical terminology, maintains the specification and glossary, supports professional discussion, and preserves provenance and version history. It is not represented as a registered legal entity, standards body, official industry organization, or extension of one commercial PRISM platform. | HA | APPROVED |
| DEC-027 | Register prismcommerce.org as the designated canonical domain acquired by Human Authority for the project. | HA | APPROVED DOMAIN DESIGNATION |
| DEC-028 | Do not create additional normative Russian equivalents at this stage. Use only already approved terminology; other Russian wording remains translation material and must not be labelled as a frozen normative equivalent. | HA | APPROVED TERMINOLOGY CONTROL |
| DEC-029 | For website Version 1, provide a contact email and a minimal contact/contribution form. A full RFC or working-group workflow is a future capability. Submission never constitutes approval or canonical adoption. | HA | APPROVED V1 BASELINE |
| DEC-030 | Apply a strict implementation evidence policy. | HA | APPROVED EVIDENCE POLICY |
| DEC-031 | Keep the current Git repository non-public. Git remains the version, provenance, and audit history until a separate Human Authority decision authorizes public access. | HA | APPROVED |
| DEC-032 | Use an independent, institutional, professional, knowledge-first, and neutral visual direction, without marketplace or retail promotional aesthetics. | HA | APPROVED DESIGN PRINCIPLES |
| DEC-033 | For website Version 1, minimize personal data, require no public user accounts, use no advertising tracking or unnecessary cookies, and limit contact forms to necessary information. Analytics must be privacy-conscious and must not use advertising pixels or behavioral ad tracking. | HA | APPROVED PRIVACY BASELINE |
| DEC-034 | Use a provider-neutral static-first + CDN + global delivery hosting architecture. | HA | APPROVED TECHNICAL DIRECTION |
| DEC-035 | Use this source-of-truth hierarchy: (1) Zenodo/DOI — canonical published-version record; (2) Canonical Source website — canonical web reference and current presentation of knowledge; (3) Git — version/provenance/audit history; (4) OSF — independent mirror/research record. | HA | APPROVED SOURCE-OF-TRUTH HIERARCHY |
