Platform
Capabilities describe the work
Definitions capture the artifacts, gates, policies, screens, and evidence each product needs.
ZAK Platform
The control plane that keeps work honest.
ZAK is not another workflow builder. Teams work in focused products while the platform checks authority, evidence, lifecycle gates, and receipts before high-stakes state can change.
What stays true
Rules stay visible
Standards and internal policies become checks people can inspect, not documents everyone forgets.
Authority is clear
ZAK knows who can approve, who must review, and which role is accountable for each action.
Shortcuts fail closed
Work can only move forward through the governed execution boundary.
Proof is automatic
Each important decision leaves evidence your team can replay, seal, and audit later.

Active path
Full map: see how outside standards become internal checks, then show up inside the products teams actually use.
Dimmed nodes are simply outside the current path. They can still be used by another governance profile or organization setup.
Total sovereignty
ZAK governs the interaction, not your intelligence.
In a black-box AI market, ZAK keeps the operating boundary separate from the model. Your organization chooses the AI provider, deployment model, and data custody posture. ZAK keeps the result authorized, evidenced, and inspectable.
Bring your own AI
Local model, private instance, managed provider, or global LLM.
Agnostic execution
The platform provides the checks; the model provides the cognitive work.
Zero-asset integrity
Data, context, and organizational intelligence are not the product.
Platform
Execution decides
The map can show what is possible, but /zak/execute still checks passport, authority, evidence, and current governance state.
Platform
Interfaces stay light
The UI reads manifests and receipts. It helps people act, but it never becomes the source of truth.
