PVEP Journeys

1. Purpose​

The PVEP Journeys model describes the common journeys that actors may take through the ProductVerse Experience Plane (PVEP).

PVEP is not a single screen, marketplace, catalog, dashboard, or portal. It is an experience mediation plane through which ProductVerse participants discover, evaluate, acquire, consume, navigate, trust, select, assemble, request access to, and prepare products for further action.

This document describes common PVEP journeys, including:

  • discover,
  • evaluate,
  • acquire,
  • consume,
  • assemble,
  • request access,
  • trust-check,
  • transition to PDEP.

The key principle is:

PVEP journeys guide actors from product intent to product experience, while preserving governance, entitlement, trust, risk, and the boundary with PDEP.

2. What Is a PVEP Journey?​

A PVEP Journey is a structured path through which a human, organization, agent, application, or product-as-consumer interacts with products across the ProductVerse.

A journey may begin with:

  • a search,
  • an intent,
  • a recommendation,
  • a marketplace listing,
  • a product graph exploration,
  • a portfolio view,
  • an entitlement need,
  • a trust concern,
  • a product set,
  • a consumption task,
  • a creation intent.

A journey may end with:

  • product consumption,
  • product acquisition,
  • access request,
  • product set creation,
  • trust inspection,
  • governance review,
  • PDEP handoff,
  • feedback submission,
  • abandonment due to restriction,
  • selection of substitute product.

PVEP journeys are not always linear. A user may move between discovery, evaluation, trust checking, entitlement, graph navigation, and product selection before deciding what to do next.

3. Journey Principles​

3.1 Intent-Led​

PVEP journeys should begin from what the actor is trying to achieve, not only from product categories or catalog structures.

Example:

“I need products to support habitat safety monitoring.”

is richer than:

“Show me all monitoring products.”

3.2 Governance-Aware​

Every journey should respect Governance Kernel state where relevant.

This includes:

  • policy,
  • entitlement,
  • trust,
  • risk,
  • evidence,
  • DPP,
  • lifecycle,
  • relationship governance,
  • agent authority.

3.3 Product-Kind Agnostic​

PVEP journeys should work across data, AI, software, physical, creative, evidence, governance, infrastructure, agent, and future product kinds.

3.4 Actor-Aware​

Journeys may differ for:

  • PCON,
  • organizational consumers,
  • teams,
  • applications,
  • machine agents,
  • AI agents,
  • institutional agents,
  • products-as-consumers,
  • stewards,
  • governance actors,
  • producers entering PDEP.

3.5 Boundary-Preserving​

PVEP can support discovery, consumption, selection, comparison, trust inspection, and product set assembly.

When product creation begins, the journey transitions to PDEP.

3.6 Explainable​

PVEP should explain restrictions, denials, warnings, risk states, trust states, and next actions.

3.7 Reversible and Iterative​

Actors should be able to move back from acquisition to evaluation, from product set to graph exploration, or from trust warning to substitute discovery.

4. Journey Map Overview​

The common PVEP journeys can be summarized as:

Intent / Need
  ↓
Discover
  ↓
Evaluate
  ↓
Trust-Check
  ↓
Acquire / Request Access / Select / Consume
  ↓
Feedback / Portfolio Update / PDEP Handoff

A more complete view is:

Actor expresses or implies intent
  ├─ Discover products
  ├─ Evaluate product suitability
  ├─ Trust-check product state
  ├─ Request access or acquire product
  ├─ Consume product output ports
  ├─ Assemble product set
  ├─ Inspect governance constraints
  ├─ Transition to PDEP if product creation is intended
  └─ Provide feedback after use

These journeys may be combined. For example, a user may discover products through graph navigation, evaluate them through marketplace listings, assemble them into a Product Set, run a trust-check, request access, and then transition to PDEP.

5. Discover Journey​

5.1 Purpose​

The Discover Journey helps actors find relevant products across the ProductVerse.

Discovery may be search-based, browse-based, graph-based, intent-based, portfolio-based, or agent-mediated.

The core question is:

Which products may help me achieve this intent?

Diagram​

5.2 Actors​

Discovery may be performed by:

  • PCON,
  • organizational consumers,
  • team consumers,
  • AI agents,
  • machine agents,
  • institutional agents,
  • products-as-consumers,
  • producers researching reusable inputs,
  • governance actors looking for products under review.

5.3 Starting Points​

The Discover Journey may start from:

  • search query,
  • marketplace category,
  • product graph node,
  • existing product detail page,
  • portfolio view,
  • agent recommendation,
  • business intent,
  • product kind,
  • governance requirement,
  • PDEP input search,
  • consumer problem statement.

Example starting intents:

Find products for internal risk monitoring.
Find AI Products that can classify safety incidents.
Find products related to Rocket Telemetry Product.
Find trusted Comic Asset Products for commercial publication.
Find products my team is already entitled to use.

5.4 Journey Flow​

Actor expresses intent
  → PVEP captures Discovery Intent or CIR
  → PVEP queries Marketplace, Product Registry, Product Graph, and Governance Kernel state
  → Candidate products are returned
  → PVEP applies filters and ranking
  → Governance-aware discovery results are shown
  → Actor opens product detail, compares, adds to Product Set, or requests access

5.5 Governance Integration​

Discovery should consider:

  • product visibility,
  • entitlement visibility,
  • policy restrictions,
  • trust posture,
  • DPP status,
  • lifecycle state,
  • risk state,
  • jurisdiction,
  • agent authority,
  • hidden or restricted relationships.

PVEP should avoid showing products in ways that imply usability when they are not usable.

Example:

Visible but restricted:
Product appears in search, but API use requires approval.

Hidden:
Product is not visible because the actor lacks permission to know it exists.

Visible summary only:
Product appears, but detailed evidence is restricted.

5.6 Outputs​

The Discover Journey may produce:

  • search results,
  • candidate products,
  • recommended products,
  • product comparison list,
  • Product Set,
  • Product Selection Records,
  • Marketplace Listing views,
  • Discovery Intent,
  • CIR,
  • agent recommendation record.

6. Evaluate Journey​

6.1 Purpose​

The Evaluate Journey helps actors determine whether a product is suitable for their intent.

The core question is:

Is this product suitable for my purpose, context, constraints, and authority?

Evaluation goes beyond reading a product description. It includes product fit, trust, risk, entitlement, evidence, licensing, output ports, lifecycle state, and relationship context.

6.2 Actors​

Evaluation may be performed by:

  • PCON,
  • organizational consumers,
  • team consumers,
  • AI agents,
  • procurement agents,
  • governance actors,
  • stewards,
  • products-as-consumers,
  • producers preparing product composition.

6.3 Evaluation Dimensions​

Product evaluation may include:

DimensionQuestion
Functional fitDoes the product do what I need?
Product kindIs this the right kind of product?
Output portsHow can the product be consumed?
EntitlementCan I or my organization use it?
PolicyAre my intended uses allowed?
TrustIs it evidence-backed and fit for purpose?
RiskWhat risks and controls apply?
DPPIs the passport valid and suitable?
EvidenceAre claims supported?
LicenseAre usage and derivative rights acceptable?
LifecycleIs the product active, deprecated, or under review?
RelationshipsWhat does it depend on or complement?
CostWhat acquisition or usage economics apply?
SupportWho supports it and under what model?

6.4 Journey Flow​

Actor opens product or candidate set
  → PVEP displays product detail and marketplace listing
  → PVEP retrieves Governance Kernel state
  → PVEP shows fit, trust, risk, DPP, entitlement, policy, and license state
  → Actor compares alternatives or inspects Product Graph
  → Actor chooses next action: acquire, request access, consume, add to Product Set, trust-check, or abandon

6.5 Outputs​

The Evaluate Journey may produce:

  • Product Suitability Assessment,
  • comparison view,
  • Product Selection Record,
  • Trust Signal view,
  • DPP Summary view,
  • Governance Explanation,
  • Governance Warning,
  • acquisition decision,
  • access request,
  • Product Set update,
  • PDEP handoff decision.

7. Acquire Journey​

7.1 Purpose​

The Acquire Journey helps actors obtain rights to use a product through subscription, purchase, license acceptance, trial activation, onboarding, approval, or access provisioning.

The core question is:

How do I obtain the right to use this product under governed conditions?

Acquisition is not the same as entitlement, and entitlement is not the same as runtime usability.

7.2 Actors​

Acquisition may be performed by:

  • individual PCON,
  • organizational consumer,
  • procurement actor,
  • marketplace account owner,
  • institutional agent,
  • authorized AI agent with human confirmation,
  • team lead,
  • product-as-consumer workflow,
  • PDEP creator acquiring input products.

7.3 Acquisition States​

PVEP should distinguish:

Interested
Selected
Trial available
License required
Subscription required
Approval required
Purchased
Subscribed
Approved
Provisioning required
Provisioned
Entitled
Usable

These are not equivalent states.

Example:

A product may be subscribed to but not usable until license acceptance, policy approval, and runtime provisioning are complete.

7.4 Journey Flow​

Actor chooses acquire / subscribe / trial / onboard
  → PVEP displays offer, price, license, permitted use, DPP summary, and restrictions
  → Governance Kernel evaluates acquisition eligibility
  → Marketplace handles acquisition or subscription process
  → License acceptance and approval workflows run where required
  → Entitlement is granted or denied
  → Product Fabric provisions runtime access where required
  → Portfolio & Entitlement view is updated

7.5 Governance Integration​

Acquire Journey requires checks for:

  • acquisition eligibility,
  • license compatibility,
  • subscription eligibility,
  • permitted use,
  • policy restrictions,
  • risk approval,
  • trust state,
  • DPP suitability,
  • evidence sufficiency,
  • organizational authority,
  • agent authority,
  • budget or commercial approval if applicable.

7.6 Outputs​

The Acquire Journey may produce:

  • marketplace acquisition record,
  • subscription record,
  • license acceptance record,
  • entitlement request,
  • entitlement record,
  • approval record,
  • onboarding task,
  • portfolio update,
  • Product Fabric provisioning signal.

8. Consume Journey​

8.1 Purpose​

The Consume Journey helps actors use an existing product through one or more output ports.

The core question is:

Can I use this product now, through this output port, for this purpose, under these constraints?

Consumption is the use of existing product output ports. It is not product creation.

8.2 Actors​

Consumption may be performed by:

  • PCON,
  • team consumer,
  • organizational consumer,
  • application consumer,
  • machine agent,
  • AI agent,
  • institutional agent,
  • product-as-consumer.

8.3 Consumption Modes​

Consumption may occur through:

  • dashboard,
  • API,
  • SQL endpoint,
  • file,
  • event stream,
  • model endpoint,
  • reader,
  • workflow,
  • tool interface,
  • physical interface,
  • embedded application,
  • agent invocation.

8.4 Journey Flow​

Actor selects product output port
  → PVEP submits decision context to Governance Kernel
  → Governance Kernel evaluates entitlement, policy, trust, risk, DPP, and purpose
  → Product Fabric enforces runtime controls
  → PVEP opens or mediates the consumption experience
  → Runtime and experience signals are captured
  → Consumption feedback may be requested

8.5 Governance Integration​

Consumption must consider:

  • output-port entitlement,
  • purpose-specific permission,
  • runtime constraints,
  • policy restrictions,
  • trust posture,
  • risk controls,
  • DPP validity,
  • audit logging,
  • masking or filtering,
  • rate limits,
  • jurisdiction routing,
  • agent authority.

Example:

User can view dashboard.
API invocation requires approval.
File export is prohibited.

8.6 Outputs​

The Consume Journey may produce:

  • consumption session record,
  • runtime invocation log,
  • audit record,
  • consumption feedback record,
  • governance signal,
  • portfolio usage signal,
  • product value signal.

9. Assemble Journey​

9.1 Purpose​

The Assemble Journey helps actors select and organize products into a Product Set for comparison, acquisition planning, consumption planning, governance review, or possible PDEP handoff.

The core question is:

Can these selected products be used together for my intent, and what should happen next?

This journey belongs to PVEP as long as it remains selection and pre-assembly reasoning.

If the actor wants to create a new governed product, the journey transitions to PDEP.

9.2 Actors​

Assembly may be performed by:

  • PCON,
  • team consumer,
  • organizational consumer,
  • AI agent,
  • machine agent,
  • product-as-consumer,
  • producer preparing a PDEP workflow,
  • governance actor reviewing product combinations.

9.3 Assemble Journey Flow​

Actor selects products
  → PVEP creates or updates Product Set
  → Actor declares or refines Product Set Intent
  → PVEP requests product-set suitability assessment
  → Governance Kernel evaluates policy, entitlement, trust, risk, evidence, DPP, licensing, and relationships
  → PVEP shows suitability, inherited restrictions, gaps, and next actions
  → Actor chooses consume, acquire, request access, revise set, trust-check, or transition to PDEP

9.4 Product Set Outcomes​

A Product Set may be:

  • suitable for direct consumption,
  • suitable with constraints,
  • ready for acquisition,
  • blocked by missing entitlement,
  • blocked by trust or evidence gap,
  • unsuitable for intended purpose,
  • requiring governance review,
  • requiring PDEP transition,
  • ready for PDEP handoff.

9.5 Outputs​

The Assemble Journey may produce:

  • Product Set,
  • Product Set Intent,
  • Product Selection Records,
  • Product Suitability Assessment,
  • Governance Warnings,
  • inherited restriction summary,
  • acquisition plan,
  • access request bundle,
  • PVEP-to-PDEP Handoff Package.

10. Request Access Journey​

10.1 Purpose​

The Request Access Journey helps actors request rights to use a product, output port, evidence view, DPP detail, product relationship, or product capability.

The core question is:

How do I request the specific right I need, for the specific purpose and context I have?

Requesting access should be more precise than clicking a generic “request access” button.

10.2 Actors​

Access may be requested by:

  • individual PCON,
  • team consumer,
  • organizational consumer,
  • application consumer,
  • machine agent,
  • AI agent,
  • institutional agent,
  • product-as-consumer,
  • producer entering PDEP.

10.3 Access Request Dimensions​

An access request may specify:

  • subject,
  • product,
  • product version,
  • output port,
  • action,
  • purpose,
  • environment,
  • jurisdiction,
  • duration,
  • justification,
  • license acceptance,
  • delegated authority,
  • downstream use,
  • product-to-product relationship,
  • urgency.

Example:

Request API access to Product A for internal monitoring in production for 180 days.

This is better than:

Request access to Product A.

10.4 Journey Flow​

Actor selects unavailable or restricted action
  → PVEP explains why access is unavailable
  → Actor starts Access Request
  → PVEP captures purpose, output port, duration, justification, and context
  → Governance Kernel evaluates policy, entitlement, trust, risk, and evidence
  → Request routes to steward, governance actor, or automated approval path
  → Outcome is approved, denied, pending, or more information required
  → Entitlement is provisioned if approved
  → Portfolio & Entitlement view is updated

10.5 Access Request Outcomes​

Possible outcomes include:

  • approved,
  • denied,
  • pending,
  • more information required,
  • approval required,
  • exception required,
  • license acceptance required,
  • subscription required,
  • provisioning required,
  • expired,
  • withdrawn.

10.6 Outputs​

The Request Access Journey may produce:

  • Access Request,
  • Governance Explanation,
  • Entitlement Decision,
  • Entitlement Record,
  • Approval Record,
  • Exception Request,
  • Product Fabric provisioning signal,
  • audit record.

11. Trust-Check Journey​

11.1 Purpose​

The Trust-Check Journey helps actors inspect whether a product, output port, DPP, evidence claim, relationship, product set, or product-to-product dependency can be relied upon in a specific context.

The core question is:

Can I rely on this product or product set for this purpose, and what evidence supports that?

Trust-check is not only a technical validation journey. It is a consumer, agent, producer, steward, and governance journey.

11.2 Actors​

Trust-check may be performed by:

  • PCON,
  • organizational consumer,
  • team consumer,
  • AI agent,
  • machine agent,
  • institutional agent,
  • product-as-consumer,
  • product steward,
  • governance actor,
  • auditor,
  • producer preparing PDEP handoff.

11.3 Trust-Check Scope​

A trust-check may apply to:

  • a product,
  • product version,
  • output port,
  • DPP,
  • product claim,
  • evidence record,
  • product relationship,
  • product chain,
  • product flow,
  • Product Set,
  • agent recommendation,
  • marketplace listing.

11.4 Journey Flow​

Actor opens trust or governance view
  → PVEP submits context to Governance Kernel
  → Kernel evaluates trust, DPP, evidence, risk, policy, entitlement, and lifecycle state
  → PVEP renders trust posture, evidence summary, DPP state, risk state, and restrictions
  → Actor drills into explanation, evidence, DPP, policy, or graph context
  → Actor chooses next action: consume, request access, select substitute, request evidence refresh, escalate, or transition to PDEP

11.5 Trust-Check Outputs​

The journey may produce:

  • Trust Signal,
  • DPP Summary,
  • Governance Explanation,
  • Product Suitability Assessment,
  • Governance Warning,
  • evidence gap record,
  • trust timeline view,
  • product set trust assessment,
  • audit summary view.

11.6 Trust-Check Examples​

Product is trusted for internal analytics but not external sharing.
DPP is valid, but regulatory-reporting evidence is incomplete.
Product Set is conditionally trusted because one input product has expired evidence.
AI agent recommendation is acceptable, but acquisition requires human confirmation.

12. Transition to PDEP Journey​

12.1 Purpose​

The Transition to PDEP Journey occurs when a PVEP actor’s intent shifts from discovering, evaluating, acquiring, consuming, or selecting products to creating or changing a governed product.

The core question is:

Has this experience become product creation?

If yes, PVEP should transition to PDEP.

12.2 Transition Triggers​

PVEP should transition to PDEP when the actor intends to:

  • create a new product,
  • compose products into a new governed product,
  • create a derivative product,
  • define new output ports,
  • generate product descriptors,
  • generate or update DPP,
  • bind evidence to product claims,
  • create product version,
  • publish product,
  • create marketplace listing for a new product,
  • govern lifecycle,
  • validate product readiness,
  • retire or materially change a product.

12.3 Journey Flow​

Actor creates or selects Product Set
  → Actor indicates creation intent
  → PVEP detects PDEP transition trigger
  → Governance Kernel evaluates boundary conditions
  → PVEP prepares PDEP Handoff Package
  → Actor confirms transition
  → PDEP receives selected products, intent, and governance context
  → PDEP begins governed product creation or lifecycle workflow

12.4 PDEP Handoff Package​

The handoff should include:

  • actor,
  • persona,
  • product set,
  • selected products,
  • product versions,
  • intended outcome,
  • intended product kind,
  • purpose,
  • known constraints,
  • entitlement state,
  • trust state,
  • risk state,
  • evidence gaps,
  • DPP state,
  • licensing constraints,
  • inherited restrictions,
  • agent involvement,
  • recommended next actions.

12.5 Transition Outcomes​

Possible outcomes include:

  • transition allowed,
  • transition allowed with warnings,
  • transition requires additional context,
  • transition blocked due to entitlement,
  • transition blocked due to policy,
  • transition blocked due to trust or evidence gap,
  • transition requires approval,
  • transition requires exception,
  • transition pending governance review.

12.6 Boundary Principle​

PVEP prepares product creation context.
PDEP performs governed product creation.

A Product Set does not become a product until PDEP creates the governed product artifact.

13. Feedback Journey​

13.1 Purpose​

The Feedback Journey captures consumer, agent, or product-as-consumer feedback after discovery, evaluation, acquisition, consumption, or failed usage.

The core question is:

What did the actor experience, and what should the ProductVerse learn from it?

Feedback is essential for ProductVerse health because products should evolve based on real consumption, value, friction, and trust signals.

13.2 Feedback Types​

Feedback may include:

  • product quality feedback,
  • usability feedback,
  • output-port feedback,
  • marketplace listing feedback,
  • trust clarity feedback,
  • DPP usefulness feedback,
  • entitlement friction feedback,
  • onboarding feedback,
  • pricing feedback,
  • governance warning clarity,
  • agent recommendation quality,
  • substitute recommendation quality,
  • product set suitability feedback.

13.3 Journey Flow​

Actor completes or abandons a journey
  → PVEP requests or captures feedback
  → Actor submits CFR or implicit feedback signal
  → Feedback is routed to producer, steward, marketplace, governance, or recommendation system
  → Product, listing, trust experience, or entitlement process may be improved

13.4 Outputs​

The Feedback Journey may produce:

  • Consumption Feedback Record,
  • product rating,
  • governance clarity signal,
  • entitlement friction signal,
  • marketplace listing improvement signal,
  • steward notification,
  • product improvement request,
  • recommendation tuning signal.

CFRs should not automatically change trust state, but they may trigger review.

14. Journey Compositions​

PVEP journeys often combine.

14.1 Discover → Evaluate → Acquire​

User searches marketplace
  → compares products
  → checks DPP summary
  → subscribes
  → entitlement is provisioned

14.2 Discover → Trust-Check → Consume​

User finds product
  → inspects trust posture
  → confirms entitlement
  → opens dashboard

14.3 Graph Navigate → Assemble → PDEP​

User explores product graph
  → selects related products into Product Set
  → checks suitability
  → transitions to PDEP to create new product

14.4 Agent Discover → Evaluate → Request Access​

AI agent recommends product
  → user reviews trust and risk
  → API access unavailable
  → access request submitted

14.5 Portfolio → Trust-Check → Substitute​

User opens portfolio
  → sees trust downgraded product
  → inspects DPP expiry
  → selects substitute product

15. Journey Decision Points​

PVEP journeys should include clear decision points.

Decision pointQuestion
RelevanceDoes this product match the intent?
VisibilityMay this actor see the product or relationship?
EntitlementMay this actor use it?
TrustIs it fit for purpose?
RiskWhat controls or approvals apply?
DPPIs the passport valid and suitable?
EvidenceAre claims supported?
LicenseAre usage and derivative rights acceptable?
Output portIs the required interface available and entitled?
LifecycleIs the product active and supported?
RelationshipAre dependencies and restrictions acceptable?
BoundaryDoes this remain PVEP or transition to PDEP?
RuntimeCan Product Fabric enforce required controls?

16. Journey Artifacts​

PVEP journeys may create or reference several artifacts.

JourneyCommon artifacts
DiscoverDiscovery Intent, CIR, Marketplace Listing, Agent Recommendation Record
EvaluateProduct Suitability Assessment, Trust Signal, DPP Summary, Governance Explanation
AcquireMarketplace Listing, License Record, Subscription Record, Entitlement Record
ConsumeConsumption Session Record, runtime signal, CFR
AssembleProduct Set Intent, Product Set, Product Selection Records, Suitability Assessment
Request AccessAccess Request, Entitlement Decision, Approval Record, Entitlement Record
Trust-CheckTrust Signal, DPP Summary, Evidence Summary, Governance Warning
Transition to PDEPProduct Set, Product Set Intent, PVEP-to-PDEP Handoff Package
FeedbackConsumption Feedback Record, value signal, governance friction signal

17. Journey and Governance Kernel Integration​

All material PVEP journeys should be capable of calling the Governance Kernel.

The Governance Kernel may provide:

  • decisions,
  • entitlement state,
  • policy state,
  • trust state,
  • risk state,
  • evidence state,
  • DPP state,
  • lifecycle state,
  • relationship governance,
  • explanations,
  • signals,
  • audit references.

PVEP should not invent governance state locally.

Boundary statement:

PVEP renders journey state.
Governance Kernel computes governance state.
Product Fabric enforces runtime state.
PDEP governs product creation.

18. Journey and Product Fabric Integration​

The Product Fabric becomes relevant when a journey reaches runtime consumption.

Product Fabric may enforce:

  • authentication,
  • authorization,
  • entitlement,
  • output-port access,
  • masking,
  • filtering,
  • rate limits,
  • audit logging,
  • environment routing,
  • agent invocation constraints.

PVEP may render the action, but Product Fabric enforces it.

Example:

PVEP shows “Open API.”
Product Fabric checks token, entitlement, policy, rate limit, and audit logging.

19. Journey and PDEP Boundary​

PVEP journeys should transition to PDEP when product creation begins.

Examples:

Create new product from selected products.
Publish product set as governed bundle.
Generate new DPP.
Define new output port.
Version product.

PVEP should not silently create product artifacts.

The transition should include a structured handoff package.

20. Journey Design Guidance​

20.1 Start with Intent​

Capture what the actor is trying to achieve.

20.2 Show Governance Early​

Do not wait until late in the journey to reveal entitlement, trust, risk, license, or DPP blockers.

20.3 Keep Next Actions Clear​

Every restriction should lead to a next action where possible.

20.4 Avoid False Readiness​

Do not show products or product sets as ready if they are blocked by governance or runtime constraints.

20.5 Preserve Product-Kind Agnosticism​

Journeys should work across many product kinds.

20.6 Support Agents​

Agents need machine-readable decision state, constraints, and authority checks.

20.7 Make PDEP Transition Explicit​

Users should know when they have crossed from product experience into product creation.

20.8 Capture Feedback​

Consumption and failed journeys should feed back into product improvement and ProductVerse health.

20.9 Use Progressive Disclosure​

Show simple state first, with deeper trust, evidence, policy, and audit detail available as needed.

21. Anti-Patterns​

21.1 Catalog-Only Journey​

Discovery should not be limited to static category browsing.

21.2 Trust Hidden Until Consumption​

Users should see trust and DPP state before using or acquiring a product.

21.3 Access Request Without Purpose​

Generic access requests weaken governance.

21.4 Product Set Treated as Product​

A selected set is not a governed product until PDEP creates one.

21.5 Acquisition Equals Usability​

Subscription or purchase does not automatically mean runtime entitlement is active.

21.6 Agent Recommendation Without Authority​

Agents need explicit authority and should not infer rights from visibility.

21.7 Runtime Enforcement by UI Only​

PVEP should not be the only enforcement layer.

21.8 Feedback Ignored​

CFRs and journey signals should improve products, listings, trust clarity, and entitlement flows.

21.9 PDEP Handoff Without Context​

PDEP handoff should carry intent, selected products, and governance state.

22. Summary​

PVEP journeys describe how actors move through the ProductVerse experience.

Common journeys include:

  • Discover - find relevant products.
  • Evaluate - assess product fit and suitability.
  • Acquire - obtain subscription, license, approval, or entitlement.
  • Consume - use an existing product output port.
  • Assemble - select products into a Product Set.
  • Request Access - request specific governed rights.
  • Trust-Check - inspect trust, evidence, DPP, risk, and policy state.
  • Transition to PDEP - move from product experience to governed product creation.
  • Feedback - return consumption and experience signals to the ProductVerse.

The central journey boundary is:

PVEP supports discovery, evaluation, acquisition, consumption, trust, access, and selection.
PDEP owns governed product creation, composition, validation, versioning, and publication.

In short:

PVEP journeys turn ProductVerse intent into governed product experience, while ensuring that product creation transitions explicitly into PDEP.
