Visual representation of the Single Source of Truth Rule, establishing the Master Rulebook as the sole authoritative reference for all governance decisions.📘 Single Source of Truth Rule
Policy Name: Single Source of Truth Rule
Version: v1.0
Status: ✅ LOCKED
Effective Date: December 21, 2025
Applies To: Micro Harvesting Portfolio (all governance, modules, dashboards, and logs)
1. Purpose
This rule establishes a clear hierarchy of authority within the Micro Harvesting system by designating where definitive rules live and how they are referenced.
Its objectives are to:
-
Eliminate conflicting interpretations
-
Prevent rule dilution across documents
-
Ensure consistency between governance, execution, and reporting
-
Preserve auditability and decision traceability
-
Reduce cognitive load and second-guessing
Clarity of authority is a risk control mechanism.
2. Definition of Single Source of Truth
The Single Source of Truth (SSOT) is defined as:
The authoritative location where a rule or protocol is fully defined, versioned, locked, and binding.
For Micro Harvesting, Governance Pages are the Single Source of Truth.
3. Authority Hierarchy (Non-Negotiable)
All portfolio components must follow this strict hierarchy:
-
Governance Pages (LOCKED) — Highest Authority
-
Portfolio Structure Rules
-
Execution Policies
-
Dashboards and Metrics
-
Trade Logs, Notes, and Commentary — Lowest Authority
Lower layers may reference higher layers.
Lower layers may never redefine higher layers.
4. What Qualifies as a Governance Page
A document qualifies as a Governance Page only if it:
-
Has a version number
-
Is explicitly marked LOCKED
-
Defines scope and applicability
-
Contains a change log
-
Is referenced by name and version elsewhere
Anything else is supporting material, not law.
5. Referencing Rules (Mandatory Practice)
All modules, dashboards, and logs shall:
-
Reference rules by exact name and version
-
Avoid paraphrasing rule intent
-
Defer interpretation to the Governance Page
Example (conceptual):
“Executed per Harvesting Policy v1.0.”
Interpretation without citation is prohibited.
6. Prohibited Practices
The portfolio manager shall not:
-
Redefine rules inside dashboards
-
Embed alternative logic in execution notes
-
Override governance through commentary
-
Maintain parallel “working rules”
-
Treat dashboards as policy documents
Any such act creates authority fragmentation.
7. Conflict Resolution Rule
If two documents appear to conflict:
-
The document higher in the hierarchy prevails
-
The lower document is corrected or ignored
-
No discretionary compromise is allowed
Ambiguity defaults to governance authority, not execution convenience.
8. Change Management Implication
Changes to behavior must occur through:
-
Governance Page amendment
-
Version increment
-
Locking of the new version
Behavior must follow rules—not the other way around.
9. Behavioral Safeguards
The portfolio manager shall not:
-
Adjust interpretation to fit outcomes
-
Treat rules as flexible guidance
-
Delay clarification when ambiguity arises
-
Allow personal memory to override written authority
If it is not written and locked, it is not authoritative.
10. Meta-Rule
One rule. One authority.
Everything else refers.
