Design a Boundary Shell policy

What you will build

A reviewable policy boundary that allows the intended path and visibly blocks disallowed use.

Inputs and ownership

• Registered VARVE
• Role map
• Permitted purpose and region

Blueprint

This illustrates the governed fields to define during onboarding; it is not a public production API contract.

{
  "allow": {
    "roles": ["claims-reviewer"],
    "purpose": ["claim-assessment"],
    "region": ["CA"]
  },
  "default": "deny"
}

Build it step by step

1. 01

   Map the intended consumer

   Name the user, agent or workflow that may access the knowledge unit.

2. 02

   Define purpose limits

   State the tasks the unit may support and the decisions it must never influence.

3. 03

   Add context constraints

   Apply regional, temporal or environment-specific conditions.

4. 04

   Test denied paths

   Attempt access from disallowed roles and purposes, then inspect the denial evidence.

Prove the governed path

• The permitted path produces an answer from approved evidence.
• An unsupported request returns an explicit governed outcome.
• Every material claim resolves to a known knowledge unit.
• The decision can be rerun after a source version changes.
