System Architecture, Governance & Reliance Map

Declaration

The Home Blueprint National Framework (THBNF) is a live, integrated national operating system for the governance, stewardship, escalation, and controlled progression of complex assets and cases, including but not limited to empty and at-risk buildings.

THBNF operates as a single system composed of seven interlocking frameworks (FW1–FW7). Full system adoption is designed to function only as a collective.

However, defined frameworks or annexes may be made available for licensed reliance where expressly stated. Such reliance is bounded, non-standalone, and does not constitute adoption of the full THBNF system.

Unlicensed partial use, selective extraction, or informal deployment of system components introduces governance risk and is expressly outside the intended use of THBNF.

THBNF exists independently of endorsement, pilot status, or statutory designation. Its value derives from institutional reliance on its governance logic, evidential integrity, and escalation controls.

This document establishes the existence, structure, authority, and control boundaries of the system.

System Purpose & Domain

THBNF governs:

  • accountability

  • custodianship

  • escalation

  • evidential integrity

  • institutional reliance

across the lifecycle of complex, stalled, or high-risk assets and cases.

THBNF does not:

  • replace statute or statutory authority

  • certify workmanship or outcomes

  • mandate software, vendors, or delivery models

  • assume operational responsibility

The system governs decision-making, responsibility, and auditability, not performance guarantees.

The frameworks are asset-agnostic and may be applied wherever governed custodianship, escalation control, and evidential integrity are required, subject to licensing and contextual suitability.

System Architecture Overview (FW1–FW7)

THBNF is structured as follows:

FW1 — Register & Visibility
Establishes when an asset, risk, or case enters system visibility and how it is formally recognised.

FW2 — Distortion & Risk Identification
Identifies structural, legal, social, or behavioural factors that prevent normal progression.

FW3 — Custodianship & Authority Assignment
Defines who holds responsibility, under what authority, and for what duration.

FW4 — Operational Action Pathways (Controlled Triad)

  • FW4a — Routine & Lawful Progression
    Governs standard, low-risk operational action where authority, access, and responsibility are clear.

  • FW4b — Escalated & Safeguarded Intervention
    Governs higher-risk, stalled, or contested situations requiring enhanced oversight, safeguarding alignment, or escalation under FW6.

  • FW4.2 — Workforce, Skills & Controlled Delivery
    Operates across FW4a and FW4b to ensure delivery is undertaken only through governed roles, defined competencies, and scalable delivery structures, preventing informal or unmanaged intervention.

FW5 — Evidential Record & Auditability
Ensures all actions, decisions, and escalations are attributable, time-stamped, and reconstructable.

FW6 — Governance, Escalation & Control
The authority spine of the system. Governs escalation thresholds, decision rights, and breach handling.

FW7 — Scalability & Replicability Governance
Ensures the system remains coherent, defensible, and safe under volume, geography, and hand-off.

Dependency Rule
Removal or bypass of any framework breaks system integrity. FW6 is mandatory in all deployments.

Governance & Authority Spine (FW6)

THBNF governance authority is anchored in FW6.

Custodianship within THBNF is a governed position, not a diffuse condition. Responsibility is assigned, reviewed, escalated, or withdrawn through defined procedural routes.

Escalation is:

  • staged

  • forward-only

  • proportionate

  • attributable

  • auditable

Failure to record, escalate, or evidence constitutes a governance failure. Failure to complete an outcome does not.

THBNF explicitly distinguishes governance failure from implementation failure. The system governs how decisions are taken and evidenced, not whether outcomes succeed.

Repairs Governance Status (Annex RG)

Repairs activity within THBNF is governed through Annex RG — Repairs Governance Gateway.

Annex RG is:

  • closed

  • operative

  • sufficient

It functions as a controlled gateway across FW4 (operations), FW5 (evidence), and FW6 (governance).

Repairs governance under THBNF regulates responsibility, escalation, and evidential sufficiency. It does not certify workmanship, mandate delivery, or assume operational control.

System Capability & Operating Envelope

THBNF is a full-scale governance and operational system designed for use in regulated, multi-agency environments.

The system includes a controlled execution engine comprising:

  • operational tool-kits

  • case pathway instruments

  • evidential standards

  • escalation controls

These components are engineered to operate only within the full THBNF architecture.

Partial, informal, or unlicensed use creates governance and liability risk and is expressly outside the intended operating envelope.

Access to execution components is provided under formal licence only.

Operational Toolkit & Case Pathway Availability

THBNF is supported by:

  • a modular operational toolkit layer, and

  • a controlled suite of case pathway forms and officer guidance materials

These instruments translate FW1–FW7 into deployable local processes without altering the underlying frameworks.

All operational materials are:

  • non-standalone

  • IP-protected

  • governed

  • licensed

Module structure, sequencing, and content are not disclosed within this System Map.

Reliance Position

THBNF may be relied upon to evidence:

  • what was known

  • when it was known

  • who held responsibility

  • how decisions were taken

  • how escalation occurred

Reliance relates to governance process and auditability only.

Reliance permissions are governed separately and may be granted under formal licence.

Control, Evolution & Protection

All intellectual property in THBNF, its frameworks, annexes, and execution components remains with the author.

Versioning, amendment, and controlled release are centrally governed. The system may evolve without adopter permission.

Unauthorised replication, partial extraction, or derivative use is prohibited.
