Value Activation Standard (VAS)

Minimal Self-Declaration
Implementation Framework

1. Purpose

This document defines the minimum conditions required for an entity
to publicly declare implementation of the Value Activation
Standard (VAS).

The framework allows organizations to adopt the standard without
requiring formal certification.

Self-declaration enables early adoption while preserving structural
transparency.

2. Declaration Principle

An entity may declare:

“VAS Compatible Economic Activation Model”

only if the system implements the minimum requirements defined in
this framework.

The declaring entity remains fully responsible for the accuracy of the
declaration.

3. Minimum Implementation
Requirements

To declare compatibility with the Value Activation Standard, a system
must implement the following components.

3.1 Asset Admission Layer

The system must define how assets enter the economic environment.

The admission process must:>

• record asset origin
• assign asset identity
• define the initial inactive state of the asset

All newly admitted assets must begin in an inactive economic state.

3.2 Validation Layer

The system must define validation rules before economic activation.

Validation may include:

• origin verification
• compliance checks
• governance compatibility
• system integrity evaluation

Assets failing validation must remain inactive.

3.3 Activation Rule

The system must clearly define the conditions under which an asset
transitions from inactive state to active value state.

Activation conditions must be:

• deterministic
• documented
• traceable

Activation events must be recorded.

3.4 Value Flow Definition

The system must define how value flows after activation.

The value flow model must specify:

• distribution mechanisms
• responsible entities
• governance rules

Value flows must be observable within the system architecture.

3.5 Responsibility Anchor

A responsible entity must be defined.

The entity declaring implementation must:

• maintain system documentation
• ensure transparency of activation rules
• provide public explanation of the activation model

4. Transparency Requirement

Entities declaring compatibility should publish:

• the activation logic
• validation criteria
• system boundaries

This ensures that external observers can understand the value activation
process.

5. Optional Independent
Verification

Independent verification is not required for self-declaration.

However, organizations may voluntarily request:

• third-party verification
• internal audit review
• governance oversight

6. Declaration Statement

Organizations implementing the framework may publicly state:

“This system implements the Value Activation Standard (VAS)
using a self-declared activation model.”

Such declaration does not imply certification by OOF™.

7. Important Clarification

Self-declaration under this framework:

• does not constitute certification
• does not imply endorsement by OOF™
• represents a voluntary transparency statement by the
  implementing entity

8. Strategic Purpose

The Self-Declaration Framework exists to encourage early adoption of the
Value Activation Standard.

By lowering implementation barriers, the framework allows systems to
experiment with integrity-based economic activation models before formal
governance structures are established.
