# Open Decisions & Assumptions

| Decision | Current status |
|---|---|
| Brand/category | VNOS — Value Network Operating System; working category |
| Legal owner of inventory per leg | Must be established by contract |
| Start of business flow (downstream order vs upstream offer) | Open; support both as composable paths |
| Toll manufacturing vs sale vs consignment | Configurable contract modes, pending legal validation |
| Pricing and shares | Versioned configurable rules; all prior example percentages non-binding |
| POS lot identity | Must be proven by actual event data; never infer with certainty |
| Insurance underwriting | Integration only after provider/product/legal approval |
| Blockchain network | PoC choice pending; optional proofs, never universal requirement |
| Finance/fund movement | External bank/payment action requires independent confirmation |
| Source trust | Manual and API sources retain identity, evidence and confidence |
| Target authorization model | Tenant/organization scoping with policy-based fine-grained permissions |

Decisions are not final just because a demo needs data. Record decision owners, approval dates, effective versions and consequences before enforcing financial/legal rules.
