PVEP Artifacts

1. Purpose

The PVEP Artifacts model defines the main artifacts that are created, rendered, referenced, exchanged, or carried through the ProductVerse Experience Plane (PVEP).

PVEP is not only a collection of screens or user journeys. It is an experience mediation plane that works with structured artifacts. These artifacts help consumers, agents, systems, marketplaces, governance services, and PDEP workflows understand intent, product selection, entitlement, trust, consumption, feedback, and governance context.

This document defines PVEP-facing artifacts such as:

Consumption Intent Record,
Consumption Feedback Record,
Product Set Intent,
Product Set,
Product Selection Record,
Marketplace Listing,
Entitlement Record,
Trust Signal,
DPP Summary,
Governance Explanation,
Access Request,
Product Suitability Assessment,
PVEP-to-PDEP Handoff Package.

The key principle is:

PVEP artifacts make product experience state explicit, portable, inspectable, governable, and reusable across ProductVerse journeys.

2. What Is a PVEP Artifact?

A PVEP Artifact is a structured record, view, request, signal, summary, or package used by PVEP to mediate product discovery, evaluation, acquisition, consumption, selection, governance understanding, entitlement, feedback, or transition to another UPOS plane.

A PVEP artifact may be:

created by a user,
created by an agent,
generated by PVEP,
derived from the Governance Kernel,
derived from Marketplace,
derived from Product Registry,
derived from Product Graph,
derived from Product Fabric,
passed to PDEP,
stored for future use,
rendered as an experience view,
emitted as feedback or telemetry.

PVEP artifacts are usually not the authoritative source of product truth. They are experience-facing artifacts that reference or project authoritative state from other UPOS capabilities.

3. Artifact Boundary

PVEP artifacts should not be confused with PDEP product artifacts.

Artifact category	Plane	Examples
PVEP-facing artifacts	PVEP	CIR, CFR, Product Set, Product Set Intent, Trust Signal view, Marketplace Listing view
Product-building artifacts	PDEP	Product descriptor, deployment descriptor, product version, output port definition, DPP generation package
Governance artifacts	Governance Kernel	Policy decision, entitlement decision, risk state, evidence state, trust state
Runtime artifacts	Product Fabric	access token, runtime policy enforcement record, invocation log
Registry artifacts	Product registries	product identity, product metadata, product relationship records

PVEP may render, reference, or carry these artifacts, but it should not become the authority for all of them.

Boundary statement:

PVEP artifacts mediate experience.
PDEP artifacts define and realize products.
Governance Kernel artifacts compute governance state.
Product Fabric artifacts enforce runtime state.

4. Artifact Categories

PVEP artifacts can be grouped into several categories.

PVEP Artifacts
├─ Intent Artifacts
├─ Discovery & Marketplace Artifacts
├─ Selection & Assembly Artifacts
├─ Entitlement & Access Artifacts
├─ Trust & Governance Artifacts
├─ Consumption Artifacts
├─ Feedback & Observability Artifacts
├─ Agent-Mediated Artifacts
└─ Handoff Artifacts

Each category is described below.

5. Intent Artifacts

Intent artifacts capture what a consumer, agent, application, organization, or product-as-consumer is trying to do.

They help PVEP contextualize discovery, acquisition, consumption, selection, governance checks, and PDEP handoff.

Important intent artifacts include:

Consumption Intent Record,
Product Set Intent,
Discovery Intent,
Acquisition Intent,
Governance Inspection Intent,
PDEP Transition Intent.

6. Consumption Intent Record

6.1 Definition

A Consumption Intent Record, abbreviated CIR, is a structured artifact that captures a consumer’s intent to discover, evaluate, acquire, consume, or use one or more products for a stated purpose within a given context.

The CIR helps PVEP and the Governance Kernel answer:

Who wants to use what,
for what purpose,
through which experience or output port,
under what context,
with what constraints?

A CIR is especially useful when product consumption is more complex than simply opening a product page.

6.2 Purpose

The CIR supports:

intent-aware product discovery,
marketplace recommendation,
entitlement evaluation,
permitted-use evaluation,
trust and risk evaluation,
product suitability assessment,
agent-mediated discovery,
consumption journey setup,
product set creation,
PDEP transition decisioning.

6.3 CIR Scope

A CIR may describe intent for:

a single product,
multiple products,
a product kind,
a product set,
a marketplace acquisition,
an output port,
a product graph exploration,
an agent-mediated recommendation,
a product-to-product consumption relationship.

6.4 CIR Example

consumptionIntentRecord:
  id: cir-001
  actor:
    id: user-123
    type: human-user
    organization: org-456

  intent:
    type: consume-product
    purpose: internal-risk-monitoring
    description: Use risk indicators to support internal monitoring.

  target:
    productId: product-risk-indicators
    outputPortType: dashboard

  context:
    environment: production
    jurisdiction: EU
    audience: internal
    urgency: normal

  constraints:
    known:
      - no-external-sharing
    requested:
      - dashboard-view
      - api-access

  governance:
    entitlementCheckRequired: true
    trustCheckRequired: true
    riskCheckRequired: true

6.5 CIR Design Notes

A CIR should be:

purpose-aware,
actor-aware,
product-aware,
output-port-aware where relevant,
context-aware,
usable by agents,
usable by Governance Kernel interfaces,
reusable across PVEP journeys.

A CIR should not create product entitlement by itself. It expresses intent; governance services evaluate whether the intent is permitted.

7. Product Set Intent

7.1 Definition

A Product Set Intent is a structured artifact that captures why a consumer or agent is selecting a group of products.

It describes the purpose of the set, not merely the list of products.

Example questions:

Why are these products being selected together?
Is the set for comparison, consumption, acquisition, project planning, governance review, or PDEP handoff?
Is the consumer intending direct use or product creation?
What constraints or desired outcomes matter?

7.2 Product Set Intent Types

Common intent types include:

Intent type	Meaning
Comparison	Compare candidate products.
Shortlist	Create a shortlist for future decision.
Consumption planning	Prepare to use selected products directly.
Acquisition planning	Prepare subscription, access, or licensing.
Governance review	Review trust, risk, entitlement, policy, evidence, or DPP state.
PDEP handoff	Prepare selected products for product creation or composition.
Portfolio curation	Organize products into a portfolio or project view.
Agent recommendation	Capture an agent-proposed product set.

7.3 Product Set Intent Example

productSetIntent:
  id: psi-001
  name: Mars Habitat Safety Candidate Set

  actor:
    id: user-123
    type: human-user

  intentType: pdep-handoff
  intendedOutcome: create-habitat-safety-monitoring-product

  purpose:
    code: habitat-safety-monitoring
    description: Select products that may support safety monitoring for habitat operations.

  expectedUse:
    directConsumption: false
    governedCreation: true
    marketplaceAcquisition: false

  evaluationCriteria:
    - safety-certification
    - evidence-current
    - production-ready
    - low-latency-output
    - human-review-supported

7.4 Product Set Intent Boundary

A Product Set Intent may indicate that PDEP is likely needed, but it does not itself create a product.

Boundary statement:

Product Set Intent expresses why products are selected.
PDEP determines whether selected products become a governed product.

8. Product Set

8.1 Definition

A Product Set is a temporary, saved, shared, or structured collection of selected products organized around an intent.

A Product Set may support:

comparison,
acquisition,
direct consumption,
governance review,
product graph exploration,
agent recommendation,
PDEP handoff.

A Product Set is not automatically a product.

8.2 Product Set Example

productSet:
  id: set-001
  name: Regulatory Reporting Candidate Products

  intentRef: psi-001

  selectedProducts:
    - productId: transaction-data-product
      version: 2.1
      roleInSet: source-data
    - productId: customer-reference-data-product
      version: 4.0
      roleInSet: reference-data
    - productId: reporting-rules-product
      version: 1.3
      roleInSet: policy-logic
    - productId: validation-evidence-product
      version: 1.0
      roleInSet: evidence

  status: draft

8.3 Product Set States

A Product Set may have states such as:

draft,
saved,
shared,
under review,
suitable,
suitable with constraints,
blocked,
ready for acquisition,
ready for consumption,
ready for PDEP handoff,
archived.

8.4 Product Set Boundary

A Product Set should not be treated as:

a product descriptor,
a new product version,
a DPP-backed product,
a marketplace listing,
a governed bundle,
a runtime product.

If the Product Set becomes a product, it must transition to PDEP.

9. Product Selection Record

9.1 Definition

A Product Selection Record captures why a specific product was added to a Product Set.

It records the selection rationale, source journey, actor, agent involvement, and known governance state at selection time.

9.2 Purpose

A Product Selection Record supports:

explainable selection,
agent recommendation trace,
comparison history,
governance review,
PDEP handoff context,
auditability where needed.

9.3 Example

productSelectionRecord:
  id: psr-001
  productSetId: set-001
  productId: product-risk-indicators
  selectedBy:
    id: ai-agent-123
    type: ai-agent

  selectedFor:
    purpose: internal-risk-monitoring
    roleInSet: source-indicator-product

  source:
    zone: concierge-agent-mediated-discovery
    reason: highest trust posture among matching products

  governanceSnapshot:
    entitlement: approval-required
    trust: trusted-for-internal-use
    risk: R2
    dpp: valid
    keyConstraints:
      - no-external-sharing

10. Marketplace Listing

10.1 Definition

A Marketplace Listing is a PVEP-facing artifact that presents a product for discovery, evaluation, acquisition, subscription, licensing, onboarding, or access request.

A Marketplace Listing is not the product itself. It is an experience-facing projection of a product, enriched with market, governance, trust, pricing, and access information.

10.2 Marketplace Listing Contents

A listing may include:

product identity,
product name,
product kind,
description,
provider,
owner or steward,
version,
lifecycle state,
output ports,
pricing,
licensing,
subscription options,
acquisition path,
onboarding instructions,
DPP summary,
trust posture,
risk posture,
permitted uses,
prohibited uses,
entitlement requirements,
approval requirements,
support model,
related products,
substitutes,
complements.

10.3 Marketplace Listing Example

marketplaceListing:
  id: listing-001
  productId: product-ai-risk-classifier
  productVersion: 1.4

  title: Risk Classifier AI Product
  productKind: ai-product
  provider: Example Provider
  lifecycleState: published

  offer:
    pricingModel: subscription
    trialAvailable: true
    licenseRequired: true

  governance:
    dppState: valid
    trustPosture: conditionally-trusted
    riskTier: R3
    permittedUses:
      - advisory-risk-classification
    prohibitedUses:
      - autonomous-final-decisioning
    approvalRequired:
      - production-api-access

  actions:
    - view-dpp-summary
    - request-trial
    - request-api-access
    - compare
    - add-to-product-set

10.4 Marketplace Listing Boundary

Marketplace Listings display product and governance state. They do not independently compute trust, entitlement, risk, or policy.

Boundary statement:

Marketplace Listing renders product offer and governance summary.
Governance Kernel provides authoritative governance state.
Product Registry provides product identity and metadata.
Marketplace services provide offer and acquisition state.

11. Entitlement Record

11.1 Definition

An Entitlement Record is a structured artifact that represents a subject’s governed right to perform an action on a product, output port, product relationship, or lifecycle event within a defined context.

In PVEP, entitlement records may be rendered in portfolio, marketplace, consumption, agent, product-set, and governance views.

11.2 Entitlement Record Contents

An Entitlement Record may include:

subject,
product,
product version,
action,
output port,
purpose,
environment,
jurisdiction,
source of entitlement,
license or subscription reference,
approval reference,
delegation reference,
validity period,
constraints,
obligations,
status,
explanation,
audit reference.

11.3 Entitlement Record Example

entitlementRecord:
  id: ent-001

  subject:
    id: user-123
    type: human-user

  object:
    productId: product-risk-dashboard
    productVersion: 2.1
    outputPortId: dashboard-port

  action: view
  purpose: internal-risk-monitoring

  source:
    type: team-subscription
    reference: subscription-456

  status: active
  validFrom: 2026-01-01
  validUntil: 2026-12-31

  constraints:
    - internal-use-only
    - no-export

  obligations:
    - audit-logging-required

  explanation:
    summary: User has dashboard access through team subscription.

11.4 Entitlement Record Boundary

The authoritative entitlement decision belongs to the Governance Kernel and entitlement systems. PVEP renders entitlement records and explanations.

An Entitlement Record should not imply that the product is trusted, safe, or permitted for all uses.

12. Trust Signal

12.1 Definition

A Trust Signal is a PVEP-facing representation of kernel-derived trust state.

It communicates whether a product, output port, relationship, product set, DPP, or claim is fit for reliance in a specific context.

A Trust Signal should be contextual and evidence-backed.

12.2 Trust Signal Examples

Examples include:

trusted for internal analytics,
conditionally trusted for regulatory reporting,
not trusted for external sharing,
DPP valid,
evidence expired,
claim unsupported,
trust under review,
trusted only with human review,
trust downgraded,
trust restored.

12.3 Trust Signal Example

trustSignal:
  id: trust-signal-001
  subject:
    productId: product-risk-indicators
    productVersion: 2.1

  context:
    purpose: internal-risk-monitoring
    outputPort: dashboard
    actorType: human-user

  posture: trusted
  reasonCodes:
    - DPP_VALID
    - QUALITY_EVIDENCE_CURRENT
    - LINEAGE_COMPLETE

  constraints:
    - no-external-sharing

  evidenceRefs:
    - dpp-001
    - quality-report-002
    - lineage-record-003

  validUntil: 2026-12-31

12.4 Trust Signal Boundary

A Trust Signal should not be a manually applied badge.

Boundary statement:

Trust Signal is rendered in PVEP.
Trust state is computed by the Governance Kernel.
Evidence supports the trust state.

13. DPP Summary

13.1 Definition

A DPP Summary is a PVEP-facing summary of a Digital Product Passport.

It presents product identity, trust, evidence, risk, permitted-use, lifecycle, and assurance information at the appropriate visibility level.

13.2 DPP Summary Example

dppSummary:
  id: dpp-summary-001
  dppId: dpp-001
  productId: product-risk-indicators
  productVersion: 2.1

  status: valid
  suitability:
    internalUse: suitable
    externalSharing: not-suitable
    regulatoryReporting: conditionally-suitable

  evidenceSummary:
    quality: current
    lineage: complete
    rights: not-applicable
    riskReview: current

  permittedUses:
    - internal-risk-monitoring
    - internal-analytics

  prohibitedUses:
    - external-sharing

  review:
    nextReviewDue: 2026-12-31

13.3 DPP Summary Boundary

The DPP Summary is not the full DPP. It is an experience-facing projection.

DPP visibility must respect:

consumer role,
entitlement,
evidence visibility,
policy restrictions,
confidentiality,
regulatory access.

14. Governance Explanation

14.1 Definition

A Governance Explanation is a human- or machine-readable explanation of a governance state, decision, warning, restriction, trust posture, entitlement outcome, risk condition, evidence gap, DPP status, or lifecycle block.

PVEP uses Governance Explanations to turn governance into actionable experience.

14.2 Governance Explanation Example

governanceExplanation:
  id: gex-001
  target:
    type: entitlement-decision
    id: decision-001

  audience: consumer
  summary: >
    You can view the dashboard because your team has an active subscription.
    API access requires approval because this output port enables automated consumption.

  reasonCodes:
    - TEAM_SUBSCRIPTION_ACTIVE
    - API_ACCESS_REQUIRES_APPROVAL

  nextActions:
    - open-dashboard
    - request-api-access

14.3 Explanation Types

Governance Explanations may be tailored for:

consumers,
stewards,
auditors,
agents,
developers,
governance actors,
marketplace operators.

15. Access Request

15.1 Definition

An Access Request is a PVEP-facing artifact that captures a request to obtain entitlement to a product, output port, evidence view, DPP detail, marketplace offer, or product relationship.

15.2 Access Request Example

accessRequest:
  id: access-request-001

  requester:
    id: user-123
    type: human-user
    organization: org-456

  requestedAccess:
    productId: product-risk-indicators
    outputPortId: api-port
    action: invoke
    purpose: internal-risk-monitoring
    duration: P180D

  justification: Required for internal risk monitoring workflow.

  status: pending
  submittedAt: 2026-05-19T10:00:00Z

15.3 Access Request Boundary

An Access Request is not an entitlement. It is a request for entitlement.

The Governance Kernel, entitlement workflow, steward, marketplace service, or policy process determines whether entitlement is granted.

16. Product Suitability Assessment

16.1 Definition

A Product Suitability Assessment is a PVEP-facing artifact that evaluates whether a product or Product Set is suitable for a specified intent and context.

Suitability may consider:

purpose fit,
entitlement,
policy,
trust,
risk,
evidence,
DPP,
licensing,
output-port availability,
lifecycle state,
product relationship compatibility,
PDEP readiness.

16.2 Suitability Assessment Example

productSuitabilityAssessment:
  id: psa-001

  target:
    type: product-set
    id: set-001

  intent:
    purpose: external-publication
    expectedUse: marketplace-publication

  outcome: unsuitable

  reasons:
    - selected-product-has-no-redistribution-rights
    - dpp-evidence-missing
    - pdep-required-for-new-product-creation

  nextActions:
    - remove-restricted-product
    - request-rights-clearance
    - transition-to-pdep

16.3 Suitability Outcomes

Possible outcomes include:

suitable,
suitable with constraints,
partially suitable,
unsuitable,
review required,
approval required,
exception required,
PDEP required,
insufficient context.

17. Consumption Session Record

17.1 Definition

A Consumption Session Record is a PVEP-facing record of a consumer’s use of a product output port during a session.

It may be used for experience continuity, observability, governance review, and feedback.

17.2 Example

consumptionSessionRecord:
  id: csr-001

  actor:
    id: user-123
    type: human-user

  product:
    id: product-risk-dashboard
    version: 2.1

  outputPort:
    id: dashboard-port
    type: dashboard

  purpose: internal-risk-monitoring

  session:
    startedAt: 2026-05-19T10:00:00Z
    endedAt: 2026-05-19T10:45:00Z

  governanceSnapshot:
    entitlement: active
    trust: trusted
    risk: R1
    constraints:
      - no-export

17.3 Boundary

The Consumption Session Record is not the authoritative runtime enforcement log.

Product Fabric and runtime systems may hold enforcement and invocation logs.

PVEP may reference or summarize them where appropriate.

18. Consumption Feedback Record

18.1 Definition

A Consumption Feedback Record, abbreviated CFR, is a structured artifact that captures feedback from a consumer, agent, application, or product-as-consumer after discovering, evaluating, acquiring, consuming, or attempting to use a product.

CFRs support closed-loop improvement across the ProductVerse.

They may inform:

producer improvement,
marketplace ranking,
trust signals,
product quality,
product usability,
entitlement friction,
governance clarity,
product lifecycle decisions,
product recommendation logic.

18.2 CFR Scope

A CFR may capture feedback about:

product usefulness,
product quality,
output-port experience,
documentation clarity,
trust clarity,
DPP usefulness,
entitlement friction,
access request difficulty,
governance warning clarity,
pricing suitability,
onboarding experience,
agent recommendation quality,
product set suitability,
consumption outcome.

18.3 CFR Example

consumptionFeedbackRecord:
  id: cfr-001

  actor:
    id: user-123
    type: human-user

  product:
    id: product-risk-dashboard
    version: 2.1

  context:
    purpose: internal-risk-monitoring
    outputPort: dashboard

  feedback:
    rating: 4
    usefulness: high
    qualityIssue: none
    governanceClarity: medium
    comments: >
      The product was useful, but the API access restriction was not clear until launch.

  signals:
    shouldNotifySteward: true
    shouldImproveListing: true

18.4 CFR Design Notes

A CFR should distinguish:

product quality feedback,
experience feedback,
governance feedback,
entitlement feedback,
trust feedback,
marketplace feedback,
agent recommendation feedback.

CFRs should not automatically change trust state, but they may become input signals for review.

19. Agent Recommendation Record

19.1 Definition

An Agent Recommendation Record captures a recommendation produced by a human, machine, AI, or institutional agent during PVEP discovery, selection, comparison, or acquisition.

It records the recommendation rationale, authority scope, governance constraints, and recommended next action.

19.2 Example

agentRecommendationRecord:
  id: arr-001

  agent:
    id: ai-agent-123
    type: ai-agent
    delegatedAuthority: recommendation-only

  recommendation:
    targetType: product
    productId: product-risk-indicators
    reason: Matches stated intent and has valid DPP.

  constraints:
    - recommendation-only
    - no-acquisition-without-human-confirmation

  governanceSnapshot:
    entitlement: approval-required
    trust: trusted-for-internal-use
    risk: R2
    dpp: valid

  nextActions:
    - compare
    - request-access
    - add-to-product-set

19.3 Boundary

An Agent Recommendation Record is not an approval, acquisition, entitlement, or product creation action.

Agents require explicit delegated authority for any action beyond recommendation.

20. PVEP-to-PDEP Handoff Package

20.1 Definition

A PVEP-to-PDEP Handoff Package is a structured artifact passed from PVEP to PDEP when a consumer’s intent shifts from product discovery, selection, or consumption toward governed product creation, composition, validation, versioning, or publication.

20.2 Handoff Package Example

pvepToPdepHandoffPackage:
  id: handoff-001

  source:
    zone: product-select-assembly-zone
    productSetId: set-001

  actor:
    id: user-123
    type: human-user

  intendedOutcome:
    type: create-new-product
    proposedProductKind: ai-enabled-analytics-product
    description: Create a governed risk monitoring product.

  selectedProducts:
    - productId: product-risk-indicators
      version: 2.1
      intendedRole: source-data
    - productId: product-risk-classifier
      version: 1.4
      intendedRole: ai-model
    - productId: dashboard-template
      version: 1.0
      intendedRole: experience-template

  governanceContext:
    entitlement: partially-entitled
    trust: conditionally-trusted
    risk: R3
    dppState: one-input-dpp-expired
    inheritedRestrictions:
      - no-external-sharing
      - audit-logging-required
    evidenceGaps:
      - model-evaluation-evidence
      - updated-dpp-for-source-product

  recommendedNextActions:
    - request-access-to-risk-classifier
    - refresh-source-product-dpp
    - initiate-composition-gate

20.3 Handoff Boundary

The handoff package initiates or informs a PDEP workflow.

It does not itself create:

a new product,
a product descriptor,
a product version,
a DPP,
a marketplace listing,
a runtime deployment.

Those belong to PDEP.

21. Product Graph View Artifact

21.1 Definition

A Product Graph View Artifact is a PVEP-facing projection of product graph relationships scoped to a user, intent, product, product set, agent, or governance context.

It may include:

visible nodes,
visible edges,
hidden or restricted relationship indicators,
relationship types,
trust overlays,
risk overlays,
entitlement overlays,
DPP and evidence edges,
lifecycle overlays,
selected path,
graph exploration context.

21.2 Example

productGraphView:
  id: graph-view-001
  rootProduct: product-risk-dashboard

  context:
    actor: user-123
    purpose: dependency-inspection

  visibleNodes:
    - product-risk-dashboard
    - product-risk-indicators
    - product-risk-classifier

  visibleEdges:
    - from: product-risk-dashboard
      to: product-risk-indicators
      type: consumes
      governanceOverlay:
        entitlement: valid
        trust: trusted
    - from: product-risk-dashboard
      to: product-risk-classifier
      type: invokes
      governanceOverlay:
        risk: R3
        humanReviewRequired: true

  restrictedEdges:
    count: 1
    reason: restricted-dependency-hidden

21.3 Boundary

A Product Graph View Artifact is a projection, not the authoritative graph itself.

The Product Graph and registries remain authoritative for graph relationships.

PVEP renders scoped views based on entitlement, governance, and visibility.

22. Governance Warning

22.1 Definition

A Governance Warning is a PVEP-facing artifact that presents an actionable warning derived from Governance Kernel state.

Warnings may concern:

entitlement,
trust,
risk,
evidence,
DPP,
policy,
lifecycle,
licensing,
product relationship,
agent authority,
runtime restriction.

22.2 Example

governanceWarning:
  id: warning-001
  severity: warning
  target:
    productId: product-risk-classifier
    productVersion: 1.4

  type: evidence-expired
  message: >
    Model evaluation evidence has expired. Product trust is under review.

  impact:
    - production-api-access-restricted
    - pdep-publication-blocked

  nextActions:
    - request-evidence-refresh
    - select-substitute-product

22.3 Boundary

A Governance Warning should be derived from kernel state or governance signals.

PVEP should not invent warnings without authoritative backing.

23. Artifact Relationships

PVEP artifacts are connected.

Example relationships:

CIR
  may create
Product Set Intent

Product Set Intent
  organizes
Product Set

Product Set
  contains
Product Selection Records

Product Selection Records
  reference
Marketplace Listings / Product Registry Records

Product Set
  may generate
Product Suitability Assessment

Product Suitability Assessment
  may produce
Governance Warnings

Product Set
  may become
PVEP-to-PDEP Handoff Package

Consumption
  may generate
Consumption Session Record

Consumption Session Record
  may lead to
Consumption Feedback Record

This artifact chain keeps experience state traceable.

24. Artifact Lifecycle

PVEP artifacts may have lifecycle states.

Example lifecycle states include:

draft,
active,
submitted,
pending,
evaluated,
saved,
shared,
accepted,
rejected,
superseded,
archived,
expired,
revoked,
handed off.

Different artifact types require different lifecycle semantics.

For example:

Artifact	Lifecycle concern
CIR	intent may expire or be fulfilled.
Product Set	may be draft, saved, shared, handed off, or archived.
Access Request	may be pending, approved, denied, expired.
Entitlement Record	may be active, suspended, revoked, expired.
Trust Signal	may be current, superseded, expired.
DPP Summary	may become stale when DPP changes.
CFR	may be submitted, reviewed, acted upon, archived.

25. Artifact Ownership and Authority

PVEP artifacts may have different authorities.

Artifact	Typical authority
CIR	Consumer or agent expressing intent.
Product Set Intent	Consumer, team, agent, or organization.
Product Set	PVEP user workspace or team workspace.
Marketplace Listing	Marketplace service and Product Registry.
Entitlement Record	Governance Kernel / entitlement service.
Trust Signal	Governance Kernel.
DPP Summary	DPP service / Governance Kernel.
Governance Explanation	Governance Kernel, rendered by PVEP.
Access Request	PVEP captures request; entitlement workflow decides.
CFR	Consumer feedback; producer or platform may act on it.
PDEP Handoff Package	PVEP prepares; PDEP consumes.

PVEP may render all of these, but it is not always the authority.

26. Artifact Visibility

PVEP artifacts may require visibility controls.

Examples:

Product Sets may be private, team-shared, or organization-visible.
Entitlement Records may expose only summaries to users.
DPP Summaries may hide restricted evidence.
Product Graph Views may hide restricted dependencies.
Governance Warnings may reveal only audience-appropriate detail.
Agent Recommendation Records may show authority scope but not hidden policy logic.
CFRs may contain user comments and require privacy controls.
PDEP Handoff Packages may contain sensitive governance context.

Visibility should be governed by entitlement, policy, confidentiality, privacy, and role.

27. Artifact Persistence

Not all PVEP artifacts need the same persistence.

Artifact	Persistence guidance
CIR	May persist for active journey or audit if high-impact.
Product Set Intent	Persist if saved, shared, or handed off.
Product Set	Persist if saved, shared, or used for handoff.
Marketplace Listing	Persist as marketplace artifact, not only PVEP view.
Entitlement Record	Persist in authoritative entitlement system.
Trust Signal	Persist or cache according to governance freshness rules.
DPP Summary	Cache with signal-based invalidation.
Access Request	Persist until resolved and according to audit rules.
CFR	Persist as feedback artifact.
PDEP Handoff Package	Persist in PDEP workflow context.

The design should avoid over-persisting transient exploration while preserving important governance context.

28. Artifact Versioning

Some PVEP artifacts should be versioned.

Versioning is important when artifacts affect governance, audit, or PDEP handoff.

Candidates for versioning include:

Product Set,
Product Set Intent,
Product Suitability Assessment,
PVEP-to-PDEP Handoff Package,
Governance Explanation,
Trust Signal,
DPP Summary,
Marketplace Listing.

Versioning helps answer:

What did the user see?
What governance state existed at that time?
What product versions were selected?
What evidence or DPP state was referenced?
What did PDEP receive?

29. Artifact Observability

PVEP artifacts can produce useful observability.

Examples:

CIR created,
Product Set saved,
Product Set shared,
Product added to set,
Product removed from set,
Suitability assessment run,
Governance warning shown,
Access request submitted,
DPP summary viewed,
Trust signal viewed,
PDEP handoff initiated,
CFR submitted,
Agent recommendation accepted,
Agent recommendation rejected.

These signals can help improve:

product discovery,
marketplace design,
governance clarity,
trust usability,
entitlement friction,
product quality,
recommendation relevance,
PDEP transition quality.

30. Artifact Security and Privacy

PVEP artifacts may contain sensitive information.

Sensitive contents may include:

user intent,
product selections,
access requests,
product dependencies,
entitlement status,
trust and risk state,
DPP evidence summaries,
governance warnings,
agent recommendations,
consumer feedback,
PDEP handoff context.

Security considerations include:

access control,
sharing controls,
privacy controls,
retention rules,
audit logging,
data minimization,
redaction,
secure storage,
secure transmission,
agent access boundaries,
prevention of inference leakage.

31. Design Guidance

31.1 Make Intent Explicit

CIR and Product Set Intent should capture why a product or set is being used.

31.2 Keep Product Sets Distinct from Products

A Product Set is not a governed product unless PDEP creates one.

31.3 Bind Trust to Context

Trust Signals should specify purpose, actor, product version, output port, and evidence where relevant.

31.4 Keep Entitlement Contextual

Entitlement Records should not collapse into a simple access flag.

31.5 Preserve Governance Provenance

Artifacts should reference Governance Kernel decisions, DPPs, evidence, policies, and risk state where relevant.

31.6 Support Agent Use

Artifacts should be structured enough for agents to read and act safely.

31.7 Support Human Understanding

Artifacts should also support clear rendering in PVEP.

31.8 Prepare Clean PDEP Handoff

Handoff packages should include product set, intent, and governance context.

31.9 Avoid Artifact Overload

Not every click needs to become a durable artifact. Persist what matters for continuity, governance, audit, or reuse.

32. Anti-Patterns

32.1 Product Set as Product

Treating a selected product set as a governed product bypasses PDEP.

32.2 Trust Signal as Manual Badge

Trust must be kernel-derived and evidence-backed.

32.3 Entitlement Record as Universal Permission

Entitlement is contextual and does not imply all uses are allowed.

32.4 CIR Without Purpose

A consumption intent without purpose is weak for governance and suitability assessment.

32.5 Marketplace Listing as Product Truth

Listings are projections. Product registries and descriptors provide product truth.

32.6 CFR as Trust Decision

Consumer feedback may inform trust review, but does not automatically change trust state.

32.7 Handoff Without Governance Context

PDEP handoff without entitlement, trust, risk, evidence, DPP, and policy context creates rework and risk.

32.8 Artifact Without Authority

PVEP should distinguish authored, derived, displayed, and authoritative artifacts.

32.9 Agent-Generated Artifact Without Authority Scope

Agent-created recommendations or product sets must carry authority and scope information.

33. Summary

PVEP artifacts make product experience state explicit and portable across ProductVerse journeys.

Key PVEP-facing artifacts include:

CIR - captures consumption intent.
CFR - captures consumption feedback.
Product Set Intent - captures why products are selected together.
Product Set - holds selected products for comparison, planning, acquisition, consumption, or PDEP handoff.
Product Selection Record - records why a product was selected.
Marketplace Listing - presents product offer and governance summary.
Entitlement Record - represents contextual usage rights.
Trust Signal - renders evidence-backed trust state.
DPP Summary - presents a consumer-appropriate view of DPP state.
Governance Explanation - explains governance decisions and warnings.
Access Request - captures request for entitlement.
Product Suitability Assessment - evaluates fit for purpose.
PVEP-to-PDEP Handoff Package - carries selected products, intent, and governance context into PDEP.

The central boundary is:

PVEP artifacts mediate experience.
PDEP artifacts create and govern products.
Governance Kernel artifacts compute governance truth.
Product Fabric artifacts enforce runtime state.

In short:

PVEP artifacts turn product experience into structured, governable, reusable context without blurring the boundary between product experience and product creation.
