governance-templates

Reusable institutional governance document templates derived from the Reliance Infrastructure Canon.

Templates

Template	Purpose	Layer
Constitutional Authority	Founding document for any governance authority	0-1
Operational Protocol	Standard operating procedures with deterministic enforcement	2
Conflict Resolution Matrix	Pairwise conflict resolution between authorities	3
Binary Decision Tree	YES/NO decision logic with zero ambiguity	3

Usage

1. Choose the template matching your governance need
2. Replace all [PLACEHOLDER] fields with your institutional specifics
3. Apply the verification checklist before deployment
4. Register the document hash using SHA3-512

Design Principles

These templates encode five governance invariants:

1. Determinism -- identical inputs produce identical outputs
2. Founder irrelevance -- the system operates without any specific person
3. Binary enforcement -- every decision resolves to YES or NO
4. Cryptographic verifiability -- every document is hash-registered
5. Succession continuity -- governance survives any single point of failure

Source

All templates are derived from the 39-document Reliance Infrastructure Canon. See the canonical stack for the complete framework.
