DigiVetVerified™ (DVV) operates under a formal institutional governance framework that governs how interpretive authority is created, constrained, preserved, and revised.

All DVV outputs are governed artifacts. No content is issued, modified, or withdrawn without governance control.

Governance Function

The governance framework exists to ensure that:

• Interpretive boundaries are explicitly defined
• Methodological posture is declared and preserved
• Scope limitations are enforced
• Provenance and traceability are maintained
• Institutional continuity is protected

Governance controls meaning. It does not direct behavior or outcomes.

Authority Model

DVV authority is institutional, not personal.

Authority is derived from:

• Structured governance processes
• Canonical object control
• Registry-backed permanence
• Change control discipline

Authority is not derived from credentials, popularity, partnerships, or influence.

Human-Governed Constraint

DigiVetVerified™ is explicitly human-governed.

Interpretive determinations, classifications, and resolutions are issued through accountable human governance rather than autonomous or self-modifying systems.

Change Control

Once issued, canonical objects and registry records are fixed.

Revisions, supersessions, or reinterpretations require formal governance action and result in the issuance of new objects. Historical records are preserved and remain accessible.

Institutional Limits

DigiVetVerified™ governance does not:

• Enforce compliance
• Issue regulations
• Override professional judgment
• Replace statutory authorities

Governance applies only within the DigiVetVerified™ institutional system.
