| **Doc id** | `noetfield-federal-governance-pack-v1` |
| **Lane** | `federal` — Government of Canada only |
| **Parent SSOT** | [NOETFIELD_COMMERCIAL_SSOT_LOCKED_v1.md](../strategy/NOETFIELD_COMMERCIAL_SSOT_LOCKED_v1.md) |

**Not legal advice** — orientation for GC buyers, SI partners, and internal GTM. Noetfield is **not** a federal certifier, AIA approver, or substitute for TBS/departmental sign-off.

## 0. Federal wedge (one sentence)

> Before GC institutions scale Copilot, Copilot Studio, or gen-AI chatbots, Noetfield produces the **governance decision record** AIA/ADM reviewers and deputy ministers expect — evaluate → receipt → export, metadata-only, no execution authority inside Noetfield.

## 1. Scope

| In scope | Out of scope |
|----------|--------------|
| Schedule I / II departments, Agents of Parliament (unclassified workflows) | Protected B/C/S, classified, NATO, or SCI systems |
| Copilot for Work PIN compliance **orientation** | Replacing SSC enterprise licensing or TBS policy |
| AIA supplementary evidence (TLE crosswalk) | Publishing or approving AIAs on behalf of departments |
| ADM legacy-system review artifacts | Level IV TBS approval authority |
| GC AI Register **governance depth** gap | Provincial/municipal direct wedge (separate lanes) |
| Trust Brief federal fork · design-partner pilot | Payment, custody, MSB, or engine SKU on www |

## 4. Buyer personas

| Persona | Question they ask | Noetfield answer |
|---------|-------------------|------------------|
| **Chief Data Officer / AI lead** | “Is our GC AI Register entry defensible?” | TLE + AIA crosswalk as supplementary evidence |
| **CISO / designated cyber official** | “Does Copilot PIN compliance have an audit trail?” | PIN checklist + signed governance receipts |
| **GRC / AIA analyst** | “What evidence supports mitigation measures?” | Evaluate → record → export loop; RID lineage |
| **Procurement / PSPC** | “Canadian supplier · fixed scope · audit rights?” | Trust Brief SOW · procurement ZIP · [CANADA_TRUST.md](../api/CANADA_TRUST.md) |

---

## 5. Governance execution loop (federal language)

| Step | GC buyer sees | Artifact |
|------|---------------|----------|
| **Evaluate** | Operational intent checked before production Copilot/Studio use | Governance API decision + RID |
| **Decide** | Human approval chain for go/no-go | TLE v1 approval fields |
| **Record** | Immutable receipt linked to evidence index | Signed TLE · metadata M365 refs |
| **Export** | Board / deputy-minister pack; AIA supplementary | PDF + procurement ZIP |

**Positioning lock:** Complement **Microsoft Purview**, Entra, and departmental AIA workflows — do not replace.

---

## 6. Honest limits (discovery script)

| Buyer ask | Noetfield response |
|-----------|-------------------|
| “Are you on the AI Source List?” | Qualification is a **separate** legal/procurement track — we deliver governance evidence SKUs. |
| “Can you approve our AIA?” | No — we produce **supplementary** decision records; departmental sign-off stays with GC. |
| “Protected B Copilot?” | **Out of scope** — Copilot PIN is unclassified; refer to departmental security. |
| “Replace SSC or TBS policy?” | No — metadata-only evidence layer; execution stays in your M365 tenant. |
| “Certified under federal AI standard?” | Not a certifier — audit-ready evidence and policy evaluation only. |
