Compliance

PreFlight — Deterministic Upstream Data Ingestion Gate

Compliance Scope

This page defines operational boundary conditions of the PreFlight v1.01 enforcement engine.

Compliance reflects engine-level execution behavior only. It is not certification, attestation, or validation against external regulatory frameworks.

Scope applies exclusively to enforcement behavior.

Hosted infrastructure, deployment environments, and operational governance remain outside the v1.01 boundary.

Operational Boundary

PreFlight evaluates mechanically provable ingestion safety prior to downstream execution.

The engine:

• Issues deterministic ingestion verdicts
• Executes read-only evaluation
• Performs no data mutation
• Operates upstream of storage, analytics, and model systems

It does not:

• Transform datasets
• Interpret semantic meaning
• Score data quality
• Execute workflow logic
• Orchestrate downstream systems

Operational scope is limited to ingestion enforcement.

Data Handling Characteristics

• Dataset content is not modified
• No enrichment or normalization occurs
• Engine execution does not require network access
• Evaluation remains isolated within its execution context

Execution Characteristics

• Execution order is constant
• Verdict reduction is mechanical
• Identical inputs yield identical outcomes
• No probabilistic constructs
• No adaptive logic

Behavior reflects deterministic evaluation — not governance or orchestration.

Security Boundary

• No dynamic code evaluation
• No interactive runtime surface
• No persistent service layer defined within engine scope
• No embedded execution inside downstream systems

Security characteristics apply to engine behavior only.

Responsibility Model

• Ingestion decisions remain external
• Dataset correction remains external
• Workflow execution remains external
• Operational ownership remains external

Compliance defines boundary conditions — not downstream governance responsibilities.
