# ITC-WP-0014 — Capability Model Consolidation

## Goal

Promote `InfoTechCanonCapabilityModel` from `proposed` to a usable canon model by
closing the items the ITCC v0.1 assimilation deliberately deferred.

## Intent

Canon version 0.2.0 adopted the capability vocabulary under disposition `adapt`.
The model is registered, validated, and anchored, but it has no schema, no formal
mapping artifacts, and no profile exercising it. OQ-2 is resolved (canon 0.2.1).
Consumer demand `CapabilityProvisionEconomics` (resource-control) refined the
still-proposed model in canon 0.3.0 / ITC-CAP 0.2.0: requirement targets,
provision-side consumption, and the H/I/P class set. T02 must encode that
refined contract, not the v0.1.0 one.

## Tasks

### T01 — Resolve the `governance.*` identifier prefix (OQ-2)

```task
id: ITC-WP-0014-T01
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "4074193b-04dc-4168-b7af-f42e94417321"
```

Decide between keeping the ids, renumbering to `security.*`, or splitting the
navigation domain into `security` and `governance` (preferred — preserves every
id). Record as a DecisionRecord. **Blocks promotion beyond `proposed`.**

**Done 2026-08-15 (canon 0.2.1):** navigation domain split into `security` (4)
and `governance` (2); no capability id changed. Decision record in
`assimilation/it-capability-canon/ASSIMILATION.md`; OQ-2 closed.

### T02 — Publish `capability.schema.yaml`

```task
id: ITC-WP-0014-T02
status: todo
priority: high
depends_on: [T01]
state_hub_task_id: "1ed8d07a-34ee-4ad4-8e4a-03a513c14836"
```

Add the capability contract schema under `infospace/schemas/`, register it in
`infospace/infospace.yaml`, and validate `capabilities.yaml` against it.
Encode ITC-CAP 0.2.0: no `typical_resource_classes` on contracts; resource
classes carry `native_unit`, `supply`, and `capacity_behaviour`; requirement
and provision record shapes live in the model prose until a companion
requirement/provision schema is justified.

### T03 — Formal mapping artifacts for each anchor

```task
id: ITC-WP-0014-T03
status: todo
priority: medium
depends_on: [T02]
state_hub_task_id: "e0ad8ec8-fdf2-4238-888c-af052fcddd40"
```

Turn `assimilation/it-capability-canon/mappings.yaml` into per-pair mapping
artifacts under `infospace/mappings/` conforming to `mapping.schema.yaml`.

### T04 — Small-SaaS capability requirement set

```task
id: ITC-WP-0014-T04
status: todo
priority: medium
depends_on: [T02]
state_hub_task_id: "182e0ad5-5fb9-4d50-9576-b9f5fdff91d3"
```

Express a real `CapabilityRequirement` set with provisions and evidence in the
small-saas profile (coordinate with ITC-WP-0004). This is the practical proof
required for promotion.

### T05 — Landscape and kernel-map revision

```task
id: ITC-WP-0014-T05
status: todo
priority: medium
depends_on: [T01]
state_hub_task_id: "339d2006-d1c8-4572-b559-e6ceb7b06c45"
```

Revise `InfoTechCanonLandscapeModel` §11.4 (the deferred strategy/capability note)
to reference ITC-CAP, and add the capability model to
`InfoTechCanonKernelMap`.

### T06 — Requirement/provision validation in the service surface

```task
id: ITC-WP-0014-T06
status: todo
priority: low
depends_on: [T02]
state_hub_task_id: "530f86c2-b61b-4b54-b380-8eec92bdced1"
```

Extend the CLI/JSON/API surface (ITC-WP-0002) to answer "does this environment
satisfy this product's capability requirements?" — the validator sketched in
source §18. Covers OQ-6.

### T07 — Promotion review

```task
id: ITC-WP-0014-T07
status: todo
priority: medium
depends_on: [T01, T02, T03, T04]
state_hub_task_id: "455690e3-c39a-4926-a13b-a179b134b2a4"
```

Promote the model from `proposed` to `draft` or `release-candidate`, bump the
canon version, and write the `CHANGELOG.md` entry.

### T08 — Finding A: move resource-class declaration off the contract

```task
id: ITC-WP-0014-T08
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "0558edf6-c7cb-406e-b78b-12cab325032d"
```

Remove `typical_resource_classes` from every capability contract so §4.11 and
the catalog agree. Consumption is declared on `CapabilityProvision` only.

**Done 2026-08-15 (canon 0.3.0 / ITC-CAP 0.2.0).**

### T09 — Finding B: demand-side targets and constraints

```task
id: ITC-WP-0014-T09
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "1cdd696c-4fec-48a6-9d9e-7bb14586d5a9"
```

Enrich `CapabilityRequirement` with profile, quality targets against declared
dimensions, and placement constraints. Keep measurement on ITC-LAND / ITC-OBS.

**Done 2026-08-15 (canon 0.3.0 / ITC-CAP 0.2.0).**

### T10 — Finding C: human effort, native units, intelligence as substitute

```task
id: ITC-WP-0014-T10
status: done
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "af4816f7-e41e-4dcb-928a-5dbb2e16004b"
```

Add class `H`, narrow `P`, recharacterise `I`, declare native units and
supply/capacity defaults, record consumption in native units, add
`intelligence_intensity`. No `substitutes_for`, no exchange rate.

**Done 2026-08-15 (canon 0.3.0 / ITC-CAP 0.2.0).** Landed here rather than as a
new workplan: no LAND or commerce owning-model change was required.

## Out of scope

- New domain models for `commerce.*` / `intelligence.*` (OQ-5) — the 2026-08-15
  demand needed consumption structure, which landed in ITC-CAP; invoices,
  entitlements, prompts, and evaluations still have no owning model.
- Canon-wide intended/declared/applied/observed/assessed state qualifiers (OQ-3)
  — kernel-level pressure, not a capability-model decision.
- CARING importing `identity.*` ids — touches a release-candidate standard and
  needs its own review.
- Booked cost, currency handling, labour rates, or an H↔I exchange rate.
