# Policy evaluation and decision evidence
Check, batch, list-allowed, explain, binding, lifetime and decision records.
## Reuse boundary
One PDP owner with per-consumer deployments; signed envelope production and consumer adoption are distinct.
## Supported use cases
- U03: Application combines identity, tenant and resource facts and enforces a bound decision
- U04: Protected operation obtains and consumes exact human approval before its side effect
- U05: Operator provisions and delivers a scoped workload credential through the approved owner lane
- U06: Operator or automation obtains a bounded SSH certificate and maintains private connectivity
## Evidence and integration
- [SCOPE.md](../../SCOPE.md)
- [README.md](../../README.md)
Assessment: CUST-WP-0081, 2026-10-14. Relations identify interfaces to compose; they do not certify native integration. Existing external evidence levels are retained where present. New entries use conservative C1/R0 until consumer assessment exists.
