assurance class (KF-2003)Three questions the concluding documents answer — behave (KF-3006) · know (KF-3007) · legitimate right (KF-3008). One rule that keeps it coherent — every concept has exactly one authoritative home (KF-3009 §4).
For the reading guide, concept ownership and all crosswalks, see KF-3009. For terminology, KF-0002. This page introduces nothing; it only orients.
