Read against the international frameworks it serves ([UN General Assembly 2015](https://www.undrr.org/publication/sendai-framework-disaster-risk-reduction-2015-2030); [FAO 2014](https://www.fao.org/4/bl496e/bl496e.pdf); [One Health High-Level Expert Panel (OHHLEP) et al. 2022](https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.ppat.1010537)) and the [Nexus Standards](/organization/institutions/nexus-standards.md) that govern its records ([NS-0](https://nexustandards.com/standards/ns-0/), [NS-13](https://nexustandards.com/standards/ns-13/)). "An experiment is exploratory: its results are labelled as such and become evidence only after the Foundry rebuilds and the Universe tests them." (Labs pillar boundary). Ordinary participation has no fee. Paid work, internships and fellowships are separate arrangements, and unqualified contributors never take safety-critical tasks. {% hint style="info" %} **Read with the current model (2026-10-21).** * Everything this page describes is a design in formation. No national, regional or global consortium is recorded as constituted or active; the current service level is R0, information and enquiries ([Status and service levels](/organization/governance-in-operation/status-and-service-levels.md)). Where the text below reads as operation, read it as design. * Completion is recorded, not credentialed, until [Risk Academy](/organization/institutions/risk-academy.md) has an issuer, an assessment method and a revocation path on record; GCRI Canada is issuer of record ([Risk Academy](/organization/programme/academy.md)). {% endhint %} ### Nexus Guilds ecosystem The Nexus Guilds ecosystem connects Future Innovation Labs, councils, funding interfaces, and overlay guilds. It shows how sector research moves through governance, co-governance, safeguards, and artifact-first outputs. This ecosystem overview maps each GCRI guild, its primary council, required co-governance councils, GRA guild interfaces, and GRF overlay guilds. It covers resilience, governance, policy, foresight, research, capital, innovation, and diplomacy across critical sectors. * **GCRI guilds** anchor sector-specific research and development. * **Councils** provide governance and conditional co-governance. * **Overlay guilds** shape safeguards, methods, and downstream interfaces. See [Overview](/organization/cooperation/nexus-guilds/overview.md) for lab, guild, and council governance. See [Membership](/organization/cooperation/nexus-guilds/membership.md) for participation details.

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/cooperation/nexus-guilds/ecosystem.md?ask=&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.
