Readiness model
Release decisions are evidence states—not marketing labels.
The initial readiness model separates operational progress from clinical authority. A site or program can become operationally ready while PHI processing or regulated care remains blocked.
Five operational gates
Readiness before activation.
Health capabilities advance only when the required evidence, named owners and approvals exist for the specific scope being activated.
FinancialApproved funding, budget and sustainability evidence.
RegulatoryApplicable licensing, jurisdiction and compliance status.
StaffingQualified roles, coverage and credential evidence.
QualityQA/QC ownership, procedures and acceptance evidence.
OperationalSite, workflow, security and support readiness.
Invariant: passing operational readiness does not grant clinical authority, PHI authority, prescribing authority, laboratory authority or Foundation spending authority.
