Licensing, conformance testing and adoption inquiries go to the lab directly. The most useful first message names one decision your organization has to stand behind, and what currently marks it done.
Inquiries
What to write about.
Licensing
Finality Assurance™ Standards (FAS) is available and licensable now. The Model Router is dual-licensed, AGPL and commercial; the Mechanistic Conflation Engine (MCE) will be separately licensable and Work Management commercially licensed. All three are in development with no public release date.
Conformance
FAS provides a common basis for licensed implementation and conformance evaluation. Conformance testing and certification go through the lab.
Design partnership
Working through the model against your real results and decisions, usually starting from one pressing question about what you can rely on.
Independent validation
Reproduce it on your own systems, your own workload, with your own graders. The lab supports independent validation directly.

Before you write
The question we will ask first.
Whatever the inquiry, the conversation converges on one thing: which exact question about what you can rely on is currently answered by something someone can write (a person, a model, a workflow step, a dashboard, a status field) rather than computed.
An answer somebody took as done≠Finality
A useful way to arrive with an answer is to run the Four-Corners Test™ on one determination first. No tooling needed.
