Deployment Modes and Regulatory-Surface Architecture

Mode 1 — Public research / reference

Browser-local, no sensitive data, no accounts, no external action, no regulated service, no professional reliance. This is the default and lowest-surface mode.

Mode 2 — Internal institutional decision support

Private organizational use with named operator, access control, source review, security, privacy and internal approval. Outputs remain candidate work.

Mode 3 — Professional-assisted workflow

A qualified professional controls interpretation, communication and downstream decisions under a defined engagement, scope, insurance and evidence record.

Mode 4 — Regulated deployment planning

The reference application may model a regulated architecture, but execution remains disabled. A separate system must be engineered and approved for licensing, data, security, human oversight, monitoring and regulator expectations.

Mode 5 — Transaction execution

Not available in the public standalone. Requires a separately contracted, authenticated and audited environment with complete authority and transaction receipts.
