Define the intelligence requirement, decision context, horizon, priority, and dissemination audience.

CAP–I03EVIDENCE-BOUND SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
Accelerate synthesis. Preserve analytic dissent.
KAIA turns heterogeneous, authorized collection into a time-aware evidence graph where identity, source reliability, contradiction, inference, confidence, and alternative hypotheses remain inspectable from observation to judgment.

- 02Collection
- 03Analysis
- 04Judgment
An intelligence judgment is defensible when another analyst can reconstruct its evidence, challenge its assumptions, compare alternatives, and identify what new observation would change it.
DECISION CONTRACT
Bound the capability before listing the features.
Every workflow begins with an explicit decision contract that determines system behavior and acceptance evidence.
Collection
Preserve source class, handling, time, reliability, access, duplication, and manipulation risk.
MUST CLOSE BEFORE ADVANCEMENTAnalysis
Separate entity, relationship, sequence, correlation, mechanism, hypothesis, and counterfactual.
MUST CLOSE BEFORE ADVANCEMENTJudgment
Publish support, conflict, gaps, alternatives, confidence basis, caveats, dissent, and analyst authority.
MUST CLOSE BEFORE ADVANCEMENTINTERACTIVE RUNTIME SPECIFICATION
Input, transformation, output, control, and failure—at every layer.
Select a layer to inspect how the architecture transforms evidence and which failure must trigger abstention.
I01 / Multimodal intake
Normalize format without normalizing away tradecraft.
Text, imagery, geospatial observations, signals-derived metadata, sensor measures, and human reporting enter typed pipelines with their origin, time, handling, quality, and restrictions intact.

OPERATING PATTERNS
One capability. Different decisions and failure boundaries.
These patterns are notional architectural scopes—not claims about customers, deployments, or outcomes.
All-source synthesis
Federate authorized disciplines around a common question while retaining each source’s reliability and handling model.
- DECISION
- Which explanation best fits current evidence?
- GOVERNANCE BOUNDARY
- No source access or collection authority is implied
Indications and warning
Track conditions, weak signals, thresholds, competing explanations, and potential deception across time.
- DECISION
- Which change merits analytic or operational attention?
- GOVERNANCE BOUNDARY
- Warning is probabilistic, not deterministic prediction
Network and entity analysis
Resolve identities, relationships, events, roles, dependencies, and confidence across fragmented records.
- DECISION
- Which links are evidenced, inferred, or unresolved?
- GOVERNANCE BOUNDARY
- Association alone does not establish intent or culpability
Analytic quality control
Expose sourcing gaps, circular reporting, assumption debt, confidence drift, and dissent before dissemination.
- DECISION
- Is the judgment ready, caveated, or withheld?
- GOVERNANCE BOUNDARY
- Human analytic authority remains accountable
GEO-SEMANTIC TWIN
Interrogate location, relationship, state, and authority on the same surface.
The 2D/3D scene uses explanatory notional data; locations do not represent customers, facilities, or real operations.

A claim is only as strong as the boundary of its evidence.
Each assurance domain requires an explicit owner, method, scope, result, exception, and residual risk.
Source governance
Collection authority, minimization, provenance, classification, and dissemination remain source- and mission-specific.
EXPECTED EVIDENCEAuthority record · lineage · handling tags
Analytic integrity
Alternatives, diagnostic evidence, assumptions, dissent, and confidence basis remain challengeable.
EXPECTED EVIDENCEHypothesis matrix · sourcing note · review log
Adversarial robustness
Deception, poisoning, impersonation, duplication, and source compromise are explicit test conditions.
EXPECTED EVIDENCEThreat cases · anomaly record · red-team result
Accountable release
A named analyst and release authority own caveats, audience, handling, and supersession.
EXPECTED EVIDENCEApproval · version · dissemination record
The system must not advance to action before reality passes type-checking.
Change the controls to inspect how evidence, authority, and environment stress alter admissibility.

CONDITIONAL REVIEW
- Thresholds satisfied; authorized human decision remains required.
This interaction is deterministic and explanatory.
