This brief states, in cold procedural terms, what The Sixth Standard is, what it does, and under which conditions it operates. It is not persuasive, not narrative, and not advisory; it is a structural description of scope, jurisdiction, and application.
The Sixth Standard operates as an institutional architecture for classification, strategy, build, materials, submission, and decision. It defines the conditions under which these phases are constructed, sequenced, and delivered.
Jurisdiction is limited to the design and enforcement of procedural standards for artifacts, not to the content of those artifacts. The system governs form, structure, and compliance, not opinion or advocacy.
Application occurs only when an institution, operator, or founder elects to run the full sequence of phases as specified. Partial adoption, modification, or deviation is outside the intended design and is treated as non‑standard.
