Role in Pagup governance

The Situational Applicability Layer belongs to Pagup’s practical deployment of agentic governance. It connects situations, needs, capabilities, evidence, and limits without turning applicability into automatic recommendation.

Relationship with the other layers

  • CCL qualifies causal context and latent need.
  • SAL declares when a capability becomes applicable.
  • CPI bounds source and claim weighting.
  • CAI attests the integrity of mobilized canonical units.
  • Q-Layer adjudicates response legitimacy.

Boundary

Pagup declares applicability conditions. Behavioral measurement of applicability fidelity must belong to an auditor or external system, not the site itself.
