# OVERVIEW

**Where this fits:** all six sectors · all six pillars · the Nexus Consortium · overview · see [The Model](/organization/model.md); [Programme](/organization/programme.md); [Systems](/organization/systems.md).

**In brief.** This page gives an overview of OVERVIEW in the Acceleration doctrine. Acceleration describes designs in formation; nothing here records that a programme is running or a system is deployed. See the OECD recommendation on the governance of critical risks ([OECD 2014](https://legalinstruments.oecd.org/en/instruments/OECD-LEGAL-0405)).

{% hint style="info" %}
**Read with the current model (2026-10-21).**

* Technology is described as the twenty Nexus systems by their NXS codes (for compute and networks, [NXS-COR](/organization/systems/nxs-cor.md) and [NXS-NET](/organization/systems/nxs-net.md)); "Foundry" is the bare pillar word for the build work ([Systems](/organization/systems.md); [Foundry](/organization/programme/foundry.md)).
* Everything described here is in formation: no national, regional or global programme is recorded as constituted or active, and the current service level is R0, information and enquiries ([Status and service levels](/organization/governance-in-operation/status-and-service-levels.md)).
* [Nexus Standards](/organization/institutions/nexus-standards.md) that bear on this page: [NS-0](https://nexustandards.com/standards/ns-0/) (constitution and principles). Their text and status on nexustandards.com govern.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.therisk.global/organization/acceleration/overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
