Governance Clarification

What “Non-Authoritative” Means

“Non-authoritative” does not mean operationally unimportant. It means the field or term must not independently determine protocol truth. Non-authoritative metadata may be required for presentation, audit trails, evidence collection, domain translation, carrier rendering, and operational context. Dropping non-authoritative data is not a safe default.

A non-authoritative field carries information that is valid and useful, but that information is derived from or subordinate to an authoritative source.
Non-authoritative fields must be preserved, passed through evaluation surfaces as context, and persisted for audit and operational purposes.
The error is not in having non-authoritative fields — it is in using them to drive protocol decisions that must be governed by authoritative fields.
When in doubt: keep the data, route the decision to the authoritative source.
