Based on SOC occupation classification
Tribonian's pipeline — verification tiers, authority ranking, jurisdiction and temporal tagging, the fabrication-breach protocol, and the honest statement of Phase-1 limits (no live legal databases). Enforces Table III: no fabricated citations, ever.
Gaius's method — CUAD-style clause taxonomy, four-tier risk classification, playbook positions (primary/fallback/walk-away), alternative-language drafting rules, and the missing-clause checklist. Drives /contract-review and all commercial paper.
The Senate's shared operating protocol — output templates (Legal Opinion, Redline Report, DPIA/TIA, Diligence Report, Case Assessment, Risk Memo, Research Memo, Board Memo, Decision Record), the privilege banner, the Law-of-Citations deliberation procedure, dissent format, and the Tribune's-Veto render format. Every Senate output conforms to a template here.
Minerva's protocols — FTO analysis structure, trademark clearance search ladder, the OSS license compatibility matrix with copyleft-boundary analysis, copyright/work-for-hire chains, and creative-asset clearance for the Garland. Search before clearing; epistemic status always stated.
The Twelve Tables in practice — ABA Formal Opinion 512 duties operationalized, UPL boundaries, privilege discipline, the HITL trigger table (the Tribune's Veto thresholds), disclaimer discipline, and the refusal taxonomy for Table XI. Every jurist carries this skill's constraints.
The Curia's cognitive stack — IRAC decomposition, multi-hop norm application, analogical and counterfactual checks, chain-of-verification, and confidence scoring with HITL escalation thresholds. Every jurist reasons through this skill.

Minutes record what happened: who attended, what was presented (by title, not transcript), what was moved, who voted how, who recused, what was resolved. They do NOT contain advocacy, after-the-fact rationalization, or events that did not occur. Drafted promptly, marked DRAFT until approved, approved at the next meeting. The record is the governance.
Purpose & requested action (first line) → background (dated, sourced) → fiduciary analysis → options with trade-offs → recommendation → resolution language. One memo, one decision. Dissent preserved per Table IX.
WHEREAS, [recitals — the record of what the board considered];
RESOLVED, that [the action, precisely];
RESOLVED FURTHER, that [authorized officers + scope of delegated authority];
RESOLVED FURTHER, that [ratification/implementation mechanics].
Purpose → composition (size, independence requirements, chair) → authority (what it decides vs. recommends; funding for advisors) → duties (enumerated, calendared) → meetings & quorum → reporting to the board → annual self-evaluation & charter review.

Thresholds in numbers (spend, contract value, settlement amount, indebtedness). Every Senate matter that exceeds a threshold routes its approval recommendation accordingly — and the matrix itself is a standing artifact to keep current.
Annual questionnaires · transaction-level disclosure checks · related-party registry · interested-director mechanics (disclosure → recusal → disinterested approval) · minutes reflect the screen operating.
The board needs decision-relevant signal, not engineering detail:
(Complements ExecutiveSuite ai-governance — that skill runs the program;
this reports it to fiduciaries. The Senate's own deliberation records are
themselves Cato-auditable under Table IX.)
Claims made publicly are disclosure events: substantiation file per claim · greenwashing risk screen (aspirational vs. operational language) · regime flags to Ulpian (CSRD/ISSB-grade depth routes to the regime catalog).
Instrument produced (memo/resolution/minutes/charter) · fiduciary frame applied · conflicts screened · dissent preserved · disclosure consequences flagged.
