Accept the record before warming the claim.

This board-level standard defines the owner, source, dated window, exclusion, privacy, retained-evidence, and review fields required before White Noise moves a public claim out of pending.

Use boundary This standard is a public governance control only. It is not audited reporting, not legal advice, not investment advice, not a KPI report, not a CRM proof packet, and not proof that speculative White Noise systems are commercially deployed.

Visual boundary This GPT-generated image is conceptual governance art only. It is not proof of a staffed review team, production CRM, audited KPI system, live dataroom, legal review, customer traction, production security system, Exchange activity, operational speculative technology, trained W.N. image model, or web-scale source ingestion. Review the image provenance record.

Board ruleNo accepted source record, no warmer public claim.

The record has to survive owner, date-window, exclusion, privacy, retained-evidence, and review tests.

Failure modeScreenshots and estimates are not records.

Generated images, planning models, local state, anecdotes, and model output cannot substitute for source evidence.

Public useAccepted does not always mean publishable.

A record may support private diligence before it can support a bounded public summary.

Current priorityApply this first to contact routing.

The production route claim remains blocked until provider receipt and owner review pass the acceptance bar.

Acceptance fields

The acceptance bar is explicit and repeatable.

The standard narrows future review: the board should ask whether the source record names what it is, who owns it, what period it covers, what it excludes, what stays private, and what language it can support.

Field	Minimum acceptance
Source record name	Plain-language name of the record being reviewed.
Source family	Production system, provider receipt, payment/account record, inquiry log, artifact ledger, permission record, rights record, dependency record, security/privacy record, launch record, or materials freshness receipt.
Public claim blocked	Exact claim or claim family that remains blocked unless the record is accepted.
Owner	Named owner category or delegated owner. Founder-led is acceptable only when explicitly stated.
Dated window	Date or date range covered by the source record.
Source location	Private retained source location, provider category, ledger path, or public artifact path as applicable. Do not publish secrets or personal data.
Exclusion rule	Test, demo, sandbox, duplicate, refund, bot, local-only, confidential, or unsupported records excluded from the public summary.
Privacy boundary	Confirmation whether customer, investor, partner, personal, regulated, credential, or confidential data is excluded, redacted, permissioned, or private.
Reviewer and review date	Reviewer name, role, or board-review category plus the date the record was reviewed.
Retained evidence	Receipt ID, local JSON path, provider receipt category, register row, or private artifact reference retained for later diligence.
Public summary boundary	What the public summary may and may not say after acceptance.
Next review trigger	Date, event, claim-change request, provider change, policy change, or material counterparty request that forces review.

Status labels

Accepted source records still need public-summary review.

missing record No source record has been produced.
ready for review A record exists, but the board has not accepted it.
accepted source record The record meets the minimum acceptance bar for private diligence.
accepted for public summary The record can support bounded public language after review.
rejected needs rework The record fails a required field, privacy boundary, source-family rule, or exclusion rule.

Acceptance classes

Each priority record has a matching acceptance class.

The acceptance classes mirror the public source-record priority queue. This keeps future board updates from accepting a weaker record than the claim requires.

Priority	Source record	Acceptance class	Blocked claim
1	Production contact routing delivery record	Production route and provider receipt	Production CRM, monitored enterprise workflow, staffed support, or response SLA.
2	Payment and account source reconciliation	Payment and account reconciliation	Free-to-paid conversion, paid member retention, revenue quality, or audited member actuals.
3	Inquiry and scoped-work log	Inquiry and pipeline log	Qualified R&D pipeline, consulting pipeline, enterprise demand, or repeatable commercial workflow.
4	Evidence artifact shipment ledger	Artifact delivery ledger	Delivery velocity, customer outcome proof, named case-study strength, or services maturity.
5	Customer, partner, sponsor, logo, quote, or case-study permission record	Permission record	Named customer proof, endorsed partner proof, customer outcome proof, or permissioned logo/quote use.
6	Source-rights and corpus-use clearance record	Source-rights record	Institutional clearance, complete licensing, model-training permission, or stronger corpus reuse.
7	Service-level dependency record	Dependency record	Vendor maturity, procurement readiness, service-level assurance, SOC 2/ISO evidence, or audited dependency controls.
8	Security and data-handling control evidence	Security/privacy control record	Security-reviewed enterprise controls, compliance certification, legal-reviewed privacy packet, or production access review.
9	Exchange launch evidence file	Exchange launch record	Live Exchange market operations, token sale, custody, liquidity, creator payout, or launch readiness.
10	Investor materials freshness receipt	Materials freshness receipt	The public investor stack is current without dated review evidence.
