The Trace Model

└──────────┴─────────────┴───────────┴── HASHED ── SIGNED Traceability is treated as a first-class graph, not a spreadsheet.
Integrity Guard
commit → hash → sign → verify → attest → GATE → deploy
│
BLOCK IF CHECK FAILS The Integrity Guard enforces:
- Deterministic builds
- Immutable artifacts
- Cryptographic traceability
- Signature enforcement
- Release gating
Philosophy
If it isn't in the repo, it isn't real.
If it isn't signed, it isn't trusted.
If it can't be traced, it can't be released.
The RFC Stack
| RFC | Title | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| RFC-001 | Data Standard | Tagging syntax, manifest schema |
| RFC-002 | Engine Spec | Hard-gates, AI protocols, sync logic |
| RFC-003 | Evidence Standard | Artifact packaging, 21 CFR Part 11 |
| RFC-004 | API Interface | SoR connector, REST contracts |
| RFC-005 | TQ Baseline | Self-validation, product archetypes |
ROSIE Boundary
ROSIE is a specification, not a complete system. It defines:
- How to structure compliance artifacts in repositories
- How to compute deterministic integrity hashes
- The API contract for approval systems (System of Record)
Your System of Record (SoR)—whether a commercial QMS, PLM, or custom system—handles user management, approval workflows, electronic signatures, and audit storage. ROSIE defines the interface; the SoR implements the approval logic.
