# Viability Node Profile

**Version:** 3.0.6  
**Last reviewed UTC:** 2026-06-20T00:41:09Z  
**Maturity:** Reference  
**Intended user:** Architect or reviewer describing a bounded participant and its observable authority, dependencies, review, and exit.

## What this artifact is for

Use this template to publish a reviewable, source-routed record. A completed record should identify the acting node, relevant authority or constraint, evidence, review state, repair or exit path, and any reason for no-op or blocked growth.

## Editable variables

Replace bracketed values with actual, non-sensitive implementation information. Keep private credentials, secrets, raw private files, and unneeded personal data outside the public packet.

## Validation notes

- Validate the JSON instance against `/schemas/viability-node-profile.schema.json`.
- Confirm `schema_version`, `version`, and `last_reviewed_utc` match the active release.
- Preserve the source domain for imported concepts.
- Verify that any stated authorization comes from the implementing system, not public metadata or VNWO.
- Treat maturity as documentation status, not certification.
- Use no-op and human review when evidence, authority, or review capacity is insufficient.

## Source-routing note

Name the source domain for every imported concept. Preserve implementation authority with the implementing organization. Use no-op or human review when authority, evidence, or version state is ambiguous.

## Claim boundary

VNWO publishes static public observatory guidance and templates. It does not certify safety or viability, provide legal advice, execute agents, import files, synchronize memory, collect private telemetry, validate credentials, authorize endpoints, prove consciousness, or override Teleodynamic or UAIX.

## Qualitative viability evidence dimensions

- Resource margin
- Maintenance burden
- Dependency stability
- Evidence sufficiency
- Review bandwidth
- Exit readiness
- Blocked growth

These are documentation prompts, not live telemetry, biological metrics, worker scores, or proof of viability.
