Governance

One boundary, applied on every screen: what can be cited and what stays in the room.

Two-tier trust boundary

Tier 1 governed

Governed, cited, cleared. Published data, client-signed evidence and cleared case studies. Everything here carries a source and survives scrutiny in a board paper.

Tier 2 working

Working intelligence, private, expiring. Conversations, informal signals and unverified reports. It shapes who Sodexo approaches and when. It is never quoted.

Two-tier boundary rule

Tier 1 evidence can be cited in written communications, board papers and RFP responses. Tier 2 intelligence informs behaviour but is never cited externally. Tier 2 entities never appear in exported evidence packs.

What happens when Tier 2 becomes Tier 1

  1. 1

    Intake session logs the claim

    A BD, ops or bid contributor states the claim in a quarterly intake session. It is logged as a card in the intake queue with an owner and a target tier.

  2. 2

    Case study or citation prepared

    Marketing assembles the underlying evidence, including client sign-off, published data and system extracts and drafts the anonymised asset.

  3. 3

    Marketing clears

    Anonymisation, claim wording and evidence strength are checked against the citation standard. The target tier is confirmed: Open, Board-only or Restricted.

  4. 4

    Legal / Ops sign-off

    Client confidentiality obligations are verified. Anything that cannot be evidenced in writing is refused, not softened.

  5. 5

    Moves to Tier 1 . now cited

    The asset appears in the case-study library and becomes available to evidence packs, board papers and RFP responses.

Radar connectors

Connectors are enabled, paused and retired here and nowhere else. Connector output is Tier 1 by definition. A connector cannot be configured to ingest Tier 2 material. The radar never scrapes anything behind authentication.
