Engineering Decision & Stakeholder Qualification Architecture
This decision architecture defines how engineering organizations qualify stakeholders and projects through layered evidence gates. It separates strategic fit, technical approval, regulatory confidence, and procurement-compliant engagement — ensuring only validated projects enter controlled collaboration.
What it visualizes
- •Staged qualification model (discovery → engagement)
- •Decision gates with regulatory control checkpoints
- •Evidence depth levels (summary → full documentation)
- •Stakeholder access matrix by role and phase
- •Continuous regulatory overlay across qualification layers
Used for
- •Reducing scope and compliance uncertainty early
- •Enforcing procurement and tender-readiness discipline
- •Controlling documentation disclosure (NDA / controlled access)
- •Creating auditable stakeholder alignment before execution
