Capability surface reconciliation

CSR

Capability Surface Reconciliation establishes where a named capability or stated need exists, in which realization state, how its representations relate, what covers which part of the need, and the smallest sufficient intervention before something new is built or installed.

Question

For a named capability or stated need: what is each representation, where does it exist, which realization state applies, how do the representations relate, and what intervention - if any - is minimally sufficient?

Core model

named capability / need
-> identity + surface inventory
-> realization state
-> representation relationships
-> coverage map
-> smallest sufficient intervention

Boundaries

documented != runtime available
implemented != installed
installed != authorized
surface != capability identity
reconciliation != orchestration

Composition

CSR composes with SORR for semantic resolution, ORBIT for orientation, Capability-Gap Reconnaissance for absence discipline, GDSA for relevance and activation, and CARD/POINTER for durable representation and routing.

Capability model

CSR treats capability as something that may be represented across source, implementation, installation, runtime and projection surfaces. It reconciles those representations without assuming that presence on one surface proves presence on another, and without replacing the authority of the systems it composes.

Composition exercise

Apply this method to CBE and CBE-IX

Reconcile the ingestion capability across its definitions, code, runtime and public presentation. A missing presentation is a surface gap; missing format detection may be a responsibility gap. CBE examines the latter after identity is resolved; CBE-IX follows further internal gaps without treating documentation as runtime proof.
