Additive dual-lane runtime: public_reality + local_relational_assessment + reconciled_assessment, deterministic ROI, dual-profile governance, entity-resolution preflight, modality-aware completeness/audit, compiled_evidence ingestion, provenance-ledger validation, telemetry translation, gap planning, market leak scanning, and validation snapshot metadata. Public non-commercial sandbox evaluation is available with X-API-Key: mvr-demo-key-2026; sandbox calls are rate-limited, client_safe only, full_advisory only, illustrative_only, and not for production. Send X-Response-Profile: strict_calibrated only with a licensed production key for fail-closed institutional responses. See /v1/schema for full documentation.'

  compact_description: Minimum Viable Relationships (MVR), published by African Market OS, evaluates whether evidence supports market trust, permission to operate, embeddedness, stakeholder and guardian readiness, reciprocity, local legitimacy, market belonging, and a safe next step before MVP, market entry, pilot, partnership, investment, or scale.

x-calibration-coverage-guidance:
  scope: Strict calibration is manifest/asset scoped. A sector public-reality asset, a route model, and a country/archetype decision path can have different readiness states.
  strict_mode_interpretation: When strict_calibrated returns calibration_status missing, failed, stale, or manifest_hash_mismatch, treat the result as fail-closed calibration coverage, not as proof that the submitted structured_values were ignored or that the entity is weak.
  public_reality_note: MVR_PUBLIC_REALITY_CONFIG validates sector/archetype public-reality weighting. Localized decision authority still depends on direct local evidence, privacy_envelope validity, sample metadata, threshold assets, and strict manifests.
  reviewer_diagnostic:
  - Inspect public_reality.calibration_status/config_source/calibration_version.
  - Inspect local_relational_assessment dimensions to verify evidence discrimination.
  - Inspect decision_reliability.calibration_status and blocking_gates before interpreting the headline verdict.
  - Use authenticated GET /v1/calibration-health?coverage=full for the active deployment before claiming strict coverage.
  derived_not_input:
  - evidence_completeness
  - market_carry
  - local_legitimacy
  structured_values_scale: Canonical structured_values are 0-100. Unambiguous 0-1 fractional payloads are normalized to 0-100 for agent safety, but production integrations should send 0-100 or set structured_values_scale explicitly.

x-public-metrics-schema-version: v6.32.0
x-modality-examples:
  public_osint: Use public_metrics with evidence_origin:'public_osint'. Read reconciled_assessment first, then public_reality for entity-scale interpretation.
  field_research: Use structured_values on field items. Read reconciled_assessment first, then local_relational_assessment for zone-level interpretation.
  corporate_telemetry: Use evidence_origin:'corporate_telemetry' or collection_method:'corporate_telemetry' for proxy-derived internal data. The engine routes it into the local lane with capped confidence and explicit proxy transparency.
  compiled_evidence: Use mode:'compiled_evidence' with compiled_pack lanes from compiled_pack_registry. You may nest legacy evidence_pack[] inside compiled_pack; the worker maps it into localized_observed_pack (or public lane when pack_type indicates public). Items with full provenance_ledger use compiled_evidence validation; others use evidence_backed rules.
  mixed: Mixed packs reconcile both lanes. Public facts do not impersonate local truth; local friction does not erase entity-scale reality.
  abstention: Scope-limited abstentions are returned when localized claims are unsupported by direct field evidence.
