# Phase 11J Exit Decision Record

**State:** TEMPLATE ONLY / NO 11J DECISION  
**Governing issue:** #112  
**Phase 12 authorization:** false

## Decision header

Decision date/time:

Waves included:

```

Until actual approved pilot evidence is entered and reviewed, the decision remains unset.

## Decision definitions

- **STOP:** discontinue the proposed pilot/product path because safety, legality, privacy, security, trust comprehension, operational viability or economics are unacceptable.
- **REPEAT:** run another bounded wave because evidence is incomplete, confidence is insufficient or canonical corrections require revalidation.
- **NARROW:** continue only with reduced geography, cohort, category, feature, provider pathway, claim set or operating process.
- **PROCEED:** begin formal Phase 12 production-release preparation, subject to every global release gate and a separate explicit authorization.

## Mandatory evidence summary

### Cohort and consent

- invited providers/customers;
- admitted providers/customers;
- pathway/category/geography distribution;
- notice and consent versions;
- withdrawals, deletions and exclusions;
- missing or invalid evidence.

### 11C provider onboarding/evidence

- completion and abandonment;
- evidence first-pass acceptance;
- rejection/resubmission cycles;
- review and publication turnaround;
- provider burden and trust comprehension;
- private-evidence incidents.

### 11D discovery/location/trust

- discovery and fallback completion;
- permission-denial recovery;
- service-area accuracy/mismatch;
- separate trust-claim comprehension;
- false inferences and private-coordinate incidents.

### 11E enquiries/interactions/reviews/complaints

- response and unanswered rates;
- consented handoff and revocation;
- interaction completion;
- review eligibility/use;
- complaints, moderation and resolution;
- harassment/spam/abuse findings.

### 11F operations and field capacity

- reviewer/approval handling time;
- queue ageing and backlog;
- support load;
- field time/cost where authorized;
- safety, fraud and collusion findings;
- staffing/capacity model.

### 11G devices/connectivity/reliability

- device/API/network matrix coverage;
- task success;
- crash/ANR under approved telemetry boundaries;
- upload interruption/recovery;
- data-loss/duplicate rates;
- support intervention.

### 11H pricing/unit economics

- willingness-to-pay observations;
- preferred billing model/channel;
- pathway/category differences;
- verification, field, support and acquisition costs;
- infrastructure/provider costs;
- sustainable/subsidized pathway and assumptions;
- confirmation that no real payment affected trust.

## Findings and corrections

Record:

- critical/high/medium/low counts;
- open defects and accepted limitations;
- assumptions disproved or still unproven;
- requests deferred or accepted;
- 11I canonical changes and exact regression/revalidation evidence;
- incidents and regulatory/provider notifications.

## Legal, privacy and provider position

For every approval state:

- authority/source;
- exact scope and topology;
- conditions and expiry;
- unresolved question;
- whether the proposed next phase remains within the approval.

## Decision gates

### `PROCEED` may be selected only when

- required 11C–11H primary evidence is present and sufficient;
- no unresolved critical/high participant-safety, privacy, security or authorization issue remains;
- public trust claims are supported and understood;
- operations capacity is evidenced;
- economics are evidenced or an explicit funded subsidy is approved;
- legal/provider approvals cover the proposed Phase 12 scope;
- every global release gate is either complete or formally retained as a Phase 12 blocker;
- the decision does not rely on synthetic, sandbox, secondary or managed-canary evidence as a substitute for primary evidence.

### `REPEAT` is required when

- mandatory evidence is missing or withdrawn;
- sample/task coverage is insufficient;
- a canonical correction needs real revalidation;
- results are contradictory or highly dependent on one participant/device/category.

### `NARROW` is required when

- only a subset of geography/categories/pathways/features is supported;
- operations or provider controls cannot safely support the full proposed scope;
- legal/provider approval covers a narrower topology or use case;
- trust comprehension is acceptable only after reducing claims or complexity.

### `STOP` is required when

- lawful or safe execution cannot be sustained;
- unresolved critical privacy/security/authorization/safety risk remains;
- trust claims are materially misunderstood or unsupported;
- operations cannot meet required quality/safety levels;
- economics are untenable and no authorized subsidy exists.
