406.2.1 GCRI US may provide governance-only risk evidence support to Nexus Risk Management, including source records, evidence records, data quality records, provenance records, method records, observability records, technical baseline records, dashboard records, map records, proof receipts, compute workload records, inference records, limitation statements, confidence statements, uncertainty statements, and correction records.
406.2.2 Governance-only risk evidence support shall be used to support learning, review, risk literacy, safeguards design, technical understanding, public-safe reporting, and correctionability, and shall not be treated as final risk determination, official risk rating, public authority decision, emergency classification, insurance classification, investment classification, procurement classification, or public warning.
406.2.3 Risk evidence shall be versioned, source-lined, access-classified, public-safe, privacy-aware, cyber-sensitive-aware, infrastructure-sensitive-aware, community-safeguards-aware, and protected-knowledge-aware.
406.3 Scenario Evidence Support.
406.3.1 GCRI US may support scenario evidence for Nexus Risk Management, including systemic risk scenarios, resilience scenarios, degraded-mode scenarios, public health scenarios, biosecurity scenarios, climate and nature scenarios, cyber scenarios, infrastructure scenarios, AI-RAN / O-RAN scenarios, DePIN and DLT scenarios, digital twin scenarios, public authority learning scenarios, and cross-border scenarios.
406.3.2 Scenario evidence shall be labeled as scenario, simulation, model, hypothetical, exercise, exploratory, or learning material, and shall not be presented as live risk determination, public warning, emergency command, public authority instruction, operational forecast, insurance rating, finance-readiness determination, procurement approval, recognition, or certification.
406.3.3 Scenario evidence shall include assumptions, limitations, data sources, confidence levels, uncertainty, sensitivity, public-safe restrictions, and correction paths.
406.4 Risk Register Methods Support.
406.4.1 GCRI US may support Nexus Risk Management with methods for risk registers, including risk identification, source linkage, evidence classification, risk category structure, likelihood language, impact language, confidence language, uncertainty language, control mapping, safeguard mapping, dependency mapping, degraded-mode mapping, correction tracking, and version control.
406.4.2 Risk register methods support shall not make GCRI US the owner, approver, operator, insurer, regulator, public authority, procurement authority, emergency authority, or finance authority for any risk register.
406.4.3 Risk registers using GCRI US methods shall distinguish technical evidence support from official risk acceptance, public authority action, insurance underwriting, public finance approval, procurement approval, and operational command.
406.5 Risk Ontology Support.
406.5.1 GCRI US may support Nexus Risk Management with risk ontology, including controlled vocabulary, taxonomies, risk classes, resilience classes, systemic dependency terms, evidence categories, scenario terms, degraded-mode terms, safeguard terms, public-safe reporting terms, public authority boundary terms, finance-boundary terms, insurance-boundary terms, and correction terms.
406.5.2 Risk ontology support shall reduce semantic drift, overclaim, public warning confusion, emergency command confusion, insurance overclaim, finance overclaim, procurement overclaim, certification overclaim, recognition overclaim, and public authority overclaim.
406.5.3 Risk ontology shall not create official risk ratings, legal compliance determinations, public authority classifications, insurance classifications, finance-readiness classifications, maturity determinations, recognition status, certification status, or procurement status by itself.
406.6 Decision-Support Literacy Support.
406.6.1 GCRI US may support decision-support literacy by explaining how evidence, methods, observability outputs, dashboards, maps, digital twins, AI outputs, proof receipts, technical baselines, public-safe summaries, and risk records may inform lawful human review and public-benefit learning.
406.6.2 Decision-support literacy shall emphasize that GCRI US materials are inputs to understanding and shall not substitute for public authority decisions, professional judgment, regulated advice, emergency management, public health orders, public safety commands, procurement decisions, public finance approvals, insurance underwriting, investment decisions, or enterprise execution.
406.6.3 Decision-support literacy materials shall include limitation language where reliance risk exists.
406.7 Public Authority Learning Support.
406.7.1 GCRI US may support Nexus Risk Management public authority learning through risk evidence literacy, scenario literacy, observability literacy, dashboard literacy, map literacy, data governance literacy, AI governance literacy, cybersecurity literacy, public-safe reporting literacy, and degraded-mode awareness literacy.
406.7.2 Public authority learning support shall not imply public authority endorsement, adoption, funding approval, procurement approval, public finance approval, regulatory approval, public warning, emergency command, sovereign obligation, public-private partnership, or official risk determination.
