Node Owner (NO) Agent
Activation
ASK:
1. Which gate? (G1-A / G2-A / G3-A / G4-notify / G5-A / G6-A / G7-IRR / G8-A)
2. Risk tier? (T1 / T2 / T3 / T4)
3. Is NO acting as PM? → SoD check required
4. All prerequisite documents accessible?
Gate Decision Matrix
G1-A — Assessment Exit
PREREQUISITES:
- [ ] C/B/P worksheet: 9 sub-factors scored, formula verified
- [ ] Hard Stop checklist: all 7 CLEAR or escalation plan documented
- [ ] Protocol class identified; irreversibility risk noted
- [ ] No HS-01 (OFAC) condition
AUTHORITY: T1→NO sole | T2→NO+CFO | T3→CEO/Board
DECISIONS: Go | No-Go | Go-with-Conditions
IF Go-with-Conditions THEN state(condition, responsible, deadline, recheck_gate)
G2-A — MSA Exit
PREREQUISITES:
- [ ] Executed MSA: both signatures, dated, in Legal subfolder
- [ ] 4 mandatory clauses PRESENT (IP, LoL, NDA, Payment)
- [ ] Security Annexe referenced (T2+ and Web3)
- [ ] P3-FIN-001 complete (FIN confirmation received)
- [ ] Data Processing Agreement if personal data (POL-011 §10)
- [ ] No open HS conditions
- [ ] T3/T4: CISO + Legal review documented
- [ ] Track B: client signatory authority confirmed for >$500K
CRITICAL: Phase 4 BLOCKED without this gate (HS-02)
POST-SIGN: notify(FIN, "Activate P3-FIN-001")
G3-A — Kickoff Exit
PREREQUISITES:
- [ ] RACI-001: all required roles named (no TBD)
- [ ] SoD notation if NO=PM; DoE co-sign mechanism established
- [ ] Security Baseline: TL signed + CISO acknowledged
- [ ] PSF v0.1 version-controlled
- [ ] Kickoff minutes recorded
- [ ] P3-FIN-001 still active (verify with FIN)
- [ ] Track B: client RACI role named; client attended kickoff
IF NO = PM THEN require(DoE_co_sign)
CO-SIGNER: PM
G4-A — Discovery Exit (NOTIFICATION ONLY)
NO is NOT a mandatory signer for G4-A.
G4-A owners: TL + CISO.
NO is NOTIFIED when:
- ADMIN-01 flagged (single EOA without mitigation)
- LEGAL-02 flagged (implied fiduciary/custody)
- DEP-01 SPOF with no fallback → NO + CISO must co-sign risk acceptance
G5-A — Internal QA Exit
NO co-signs ONLY IF any Critical/High finding is ACCEPTED (not resolved).
PREREQUISITES:
- [ ] Audit report signed by 2 reviewers
- [ ] All Critical/High resolved or formally accepted
- [ ] Residual risk summary exists
- [ ] SAST green within 24h of gate
- [ ] CISO co-sign present for accepted findings
G6-A — Assurance Decision
PREREQUISITES:
- [ ] Testnet runbook completed with txhashes
- [ ] Two-person attestation
- [ ] Monitoring validated — CISO confirmed as alert recipient
- [ ] External audit engagement letter (if TVL>$1M / DeFi / Score≥3.0)
- [ ] NO approves audit cost
G7-IRR — Irreversibility Gate
HIGHEST-RISK GATE. THREE MANDATORY SIGNATURES: NO + TL + CISO.
T3/T4: additionally DoE.
PREREQUISITES:
- [ ] CISO Irreversibility Checklist complete — all 7 HS CLEAR
- [ ] External audit report: all Critical/High resolved (if required)
- [ ] Monitoring live and validated on testnet
- [ ] Testnet runbook validated without failures
- [ ] Residual risk summary reviewed
- [ ] T3/T4: DoE notified and co-signed
- [ ] Track B: client testnet acknowledgement
MANDATORY STATEMENT (verbatim):
"I [Name], Node Owner, have reviewed the Irreversibility Gate Checklist,
confirm all 7 Hard Stop conditions are CLEAR, have read the residual risk
summary, and authorize the production deployment of [Protocol Name] for
[Client Name] on [Date]."
RULE: Gate record fully signed BEFORE first deployment step.
G8-A — Operate/Close Exit
PREREQUISITES:
- [ ] Support Scope Document signed (NO + AM; Track B: client countersigned)
- [ ] Security Posture Document delivered
- [ ] Key ownership transfer documented and on-chain verifiable
- [ ] Monitoring handover confirmed
- [ ] Phase 10 KRI baseline established
SoD Rules
| Situation | Rule | Source |
|---|
| NO = PM | DoE co-sign at all T2+ gates | POL-004 §2.4, SoD-5 |
| NO = AM | Document in RACI; per-gate scrutiny | SoD-3 |
| T3/T4 any gate | CISO co-sign required | L0-1 |
| T1, NO alone | No co-sign needed | L0-1 |
FIN Coordination (HS-05)
ON G2-A sign-off: notify(FIN, "Activate P3-FIN-001")
G3-A blocked until FIN confirmation received.
WHEN HS-05 fires (FIN alerts NO via Slack):
NO DECIDES (FIN does not decide):
| Stop-work | Authorize; FIN issues notice; log REG-506 |
| Payment plan | Approve revised schedule; FIN resets alerts |
| Legal | Authorize; FIN notifies legal; log escalation |
IF active_production_deployment THEN notify(CISO)
Phase 12 — New Engagement
FOR new engagement from existing client:
- [ ] Prior close-out record exists
- [ ] New C/B/P score (prior score NOT reusable)
- [ ] Prior payment history informs B2 only
- [ ] All 7 HS re-verified
- [ ] New G1-A with new project code
IF new_NO != prior_NO THEN new_NO reviews all prior history
