# Policy Bundle Card — maat-procurement-standard v1.0.0

## 1. Identity

- **Bundle name:** maat-procurement-standard
- **Domain:** procurement (`maat_procurement` template-domain code).
- **Use-case classes it applies to:** `commerce_negotiation`,
  `supplier_procurement`, `agent_to_agent_contract` (procurement-shaped).
- **Operational mode:** `procurement_negotiation` (per
  `ConcordiaOperationalModeSchema`).

## 2. Contents

- **Clause templates included:** the procurement playbook in
  `libs/nous/agreement-search/src/domain-candidate-generators.ts`
  (`procurementPlaybook`) generates buyer-favoured, supplier-favoured, balanced,
  and rebate-tier variants spanning:
  - `money` payload — unit price, currency, payment terms (DPO 30 / 60 / 90),
    early-payment discount tiers
  - `deliverable` payload — quantity, quality spec, delivery window
  - `service_level` payload — uptime / on-time-delivery commitments, credit
    schedule
  - `restitution` payload — liquidated damages on quality failure
  - `monitoring` payload — quarterly review cadence, audit right
  - `escrow_release` payload — milestone gating
- **Constraints enforced:**
  - linear: total contract value ≤ approval threshold; rebate waterfall sums to
    ≤ 100%; payment-term distribution ≤ tenant cap
  - temporal: delivery dates must respect lead-time floor; rebate measurement
    windows non-overlapping
  - fairness: burden-symmetry minimum 0.85 (workbench-rendered)
- **Mandatory human-review flags:**
  - Any contract value ≥ tenant-configured `executiveApprovalFloor` routes to
    `procurement_officer` + `compliance_officer` queues (§179.7.1.4).
  - Sanctions / KYC risk above tenant threshold routes to `compliance_officer`
    (§179.5.5.4).
  - Cross-jurisdiction contracts route to `legal_counsel`.
- **Jurisdictional coverage:** `world` baseline + per-jurisdiction overlays in
  the §179.2.3.5 template registry (US, EU, UK, CA, AU, IN, BR, JP, KR, SG
  defaults).

## 3. Sources

- **Drafting authority:** Maat domain owners with input from procurement
  counsel; clause structures cross-checked against Pactum's publicly disclosed
  procurement-agent specializations (sourcing, payment terms, discounts,
  rebates, post-sourcing).
- **Academic / professional references:** see
  `docs/research/gap-analysis-pactum-nibble.md` and
  `docs/research/bibliography.md` §procurement-negotiation.
- **Related institutional rules:** ICC Incoterms 2020 references for
  delivery-window clauses; UNCITRAL Convention on the International Sale of
  Goods for cross-border defaults.

## 4. Evaluation

- **Coverage against domain precedent corpus:** every variant in the playbook
  materializes a valid Zod-parsed term-family payload; the
  `domain-candidate-generators.test.ts` suite asserts this.
- **Enforceability audit:** clause templates are advisory until counsel review
  per §179.7.1.4. Templates do not contain unilateral unconscionable provisions;
  the `spec-gaming-audit.ts` runs on every emitted candidate set.
- **Fairness posture:** the playbook emits buyer-favoured AND supplier-favoured
  variants by construction so the optimizer cannot systematically favour one
  side. Burden-symmetry minima encoded in the candidate-filter gate.

## 5. Use

- **How Concordia loads this bundle:** the orchestrator selects this bundle when
  `useCaseClass ∈ {commerce_negotiation, supplier_procurement}` and the case
  `domain` matches `maat_*`. The selection is recorded in the reproducibility
  manifest's `policyPins`.
- **Consumers:**
  - `generateSeedCandidates` in
    `libs/nous/agreement-search/src/candidate-generation.ts`
  - `clause-mutators.ts` (sandboxed mutators apply within bundle constraints)
  - `validator.ts` in `libs/contracts/concordia/src/dsl/` (static validation)

## 6. Refresh

- **Drift triggers:** material changes to ICC Incoterms, UN sanctions lists, US
  OFAC SDN list, EU GDPR enforcement guidance on supplier data, national
  procurement regulations.
- **Last refresh:** 2026-04-25.
