+InfoTechCanon commit `b081d39da1353201f879ee6832d4e3e52b791c73`.
+That standard governs documentation placement; its section 9 does not prescribe
+canon domain-content layout. The kernel/models/standards tree follows the
+federation T04 requirement and InfoTechCanon's current canon.yaml layout family.
+
+| Requirement | Current evidence |
+| --- | --- |
+| Minimal: repository purpose and boundary | INTENT.md and SCOPE.md |
+| Core: raw demand distinct from implementation | demand/README.md and workplans/ |
+| Core: current stakeholder documentation | docs/README.md and this assessment |
+| Canon registry and ownership boundary | canon.yaml and infospace/kernel/CommerceCanonCore.md |
+| Canon extension locations | infospace/{models,standards,assimilation,mappings,concepts,profiles,patterns,validation}/README.md |
+
+Canon artifacts live under infospace/. Root assimilation/, mappings/, profiles/
+are navigation entry points to that single tree, satisfying the project goal's
+root discovery locations without duplicating content. Legacy canon/ and model/
+remain migration inputs. Registry models and standards are intentionally empty.
+
+Full documentation conformance is not claimed: research/history retain legacy
+names, and spec/, wiki/, issues/ are not established. Finished IDENTITY-WP files
+remain unchanged in workplans/ as required by the accepted migration provenance
+rule, rather than being moved to history/. T07 owns source distribution. This
+assessment does not claim that those models, provenance transfers, or interface
+cards have been accepted.
+
+## Validation
+
+Parse canon.yaml as YAML and check that each registered artifact exists and its
+frontmatter ID/status matches the registry; check that the core documentation
+files and all nine infospace directories exist. Verify relative Markdown links
+in the new scaffold against a sibling federation/InfoTechCanon checkout. Compare
+legacy source and finished-plan SHA-256 hashes with the pre-scaffold snapshot.
+Run the federation ownership validator against this repository and git diff
+--check. The project records the results under docs/evidence/; the native
+COMMERCE-WP-0001 links that evidence and the live migration tasks.

+# CommerceCanon Core
+
+CommerceCanon owns counterparty and commercial-relationship semantics. It is
+an independently maintained domain canon governed by Custodian canon and the
+accepted CUST-ADR-006 ownership resolutions. This draft kernel establishes the
+repository boundary; it does not publish the pending counterparty model.
+
+## Authority and migration
+
+The [federation ledger](../../../prj-canon-federation/ledger/README.md) assigns
+one owner per concept and pins the original identity-canon glossary. The old
+[glossary](../../canon/CanonicalGlossary.md) and
+[principles](../../canon/DesignPrinciples.md) remain migration inputs, not an
+alternative registry of CommerceCanon-owned definitions. The
+[registry](../../canon.yaml) lists only artifacts present here; its model and
+standard registries remain empty until their publication tasks are verified.
+
+## Ownership boundary
+
+| Concept or concept family | Owning model | CommerceCanon treatment |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Actor, Person, Agent, Organization, Group, Role, Membership, Ownership | itc-org | Import; commercial roles do not replace actor or ownership semantics. |
+| Subject, Principal, Relationship Tuple | itc-access | Import; commercial binding does not grant authorization. |
+| Obligation, Decision, AssuranceCase, AssuranceConclusion, Audit | itc-gov | Import; a commercial commitment may relate to obligations without redefining them. |
+| Identifier, Account, Scope, Assurance Level and ledger-assigned identity concepts | itc-ident (pending T05) | Import when published; identifier specializations retain upstream identity semantics. |
+| Evidence, Evidence Source, Adjudication Outcome, general evidence strength | itc-evid (pending T11) | Import assertions and their addressable sources as distinct concepts. |
+| Community, Household | itc-org extension (pending T12) | Import distinct social collectives when available. |
+| Family | Separate InfoTechCanon concept-area seed (pending T13) | Reference only; not a CommerceCanon collective-actor definition. |
+
+Existing upstream models are [organization](../../../info-tech-canon/infospace/models/organization/InfoTechCanonOrganizationModel.md),
+[access control](../../../info-tech-canon/infospace/models/access-control/InfoTechCanonAccessControlModel.md),
+and [governance](../../../info-tech-canon/infospace/models/governance/InfoTechCanonGovernanceModel.md).
+Evidence currently appears in governance; accepted R3/R7 assigns its transfer to
+T11. This table records the accepted destination, not a completed transfer.
+T05 must also reconcile Delegation Relationship with itc-org Delegation before
+publication. Nothing in this kernel resolves that open review by duplication.
+
+There is no single imported concept called “Assurance” covering all uses.
+Identity Assurance Level is distinct from governance AssuranceCase and
+AssuranceConclusion. The pending Counterparty Assurance Gradient is CommerceCanon's
+named application of general evidence strength, not ownership of that dimension.
+
+## Commerce model boundary
+
+T06 will author the ledger's commerce assignments: legal entities and persons,
+beneficial ownership relationships and exemptions, customer and vendor roles,
+commercial relationships and commitments, payment references and mandates,
+pipeline pursuits, commercial records, counterparty assurance, reputation and
+performance assertions, and registry/proxy commercial identifiers. These are
+assignments for migration, not definitions supplied by this kernel.
+
+Registry Identifier and Proxy Commercial Identifier specialize imported
+Identifier. Reputation Signal, Performance Evidence, and Beneficial Ownership
+Exemption must distinguish evidence assertions from their sources. Adjudication
+Outcome remains imported from itc-evid. Carry P14 (separate commercial records
+from accounts) and P15 (model commercial binding explicitly) into T06.
+
+## Contribution and acceptance
+
+New content starts with a named consumer's signal in [demand](../../demand/).
+Implementation belongs in repository workplans. A model must declare its owned
+concepts, explicit imports, provenance, and examples before registry publication.
+Validate assignments against the federation ledger and review for duplicate
+ownership. Preserve historical source material until T07 records its disposition.
+
+[Repository layout](../../docs/RepositoryLayout.md) explains content placement.
+T08 owns reciprocal interface cards once models and imports are established.
+Runtime services, a CLI, and production APIs are outside this foundation scope.
