Navixtent Framework
The Governed Intervention Record
A common operating object for connecting intent, authority, execution, evidence, value, and consequential decisions.
Organizations manage consequential initiatives through disconnected business cases, plans, approvals, dashboards, risk logs, evidence repositories, benefit trackers, and executive forums. The Governed Intervention Record brings those elements into one controlled lifecycle—so leaders can understand not only what is happening, but what the available evidence supports doing next.
Everything is possible. Therefore, nothing is obvious.
The problem
Organizations track work. They struggle to govern the intervention.
Most enterprise systems were designed to answer a narrow question well: what is the plan, what is the spend, what is the risk, what is the status. Each answer lives in a different system, owned by a different function, updated on a different cadence.
Conventional arrangements frequently separate the following into distinct records that never reconcile:
- Strategic purpose
- Accountable ownership
- Approval and authorization
- Workflow and dependencies
- Risks and controls
- Evidence and provenance
- Cost and resources
- Operational outcomes
- Benefits and baselines
- Executive decisions
The consequence is not poor reporting. It is a decision history that cannot be reconstructed—no single place where purpose, authority, evidence, and consequence remain connected.

Each of these boundaries is routinely collapsed in executive reporting. The record exists to keep them distinct, and to make the gap between them visible before a decision is taken.
Architecture
Twelve information groups
These are twelve information groups supporting a more detailed field structure—not merely twelve individual fields. Each group organises a family of related fields, references, and attestations.
Field areas shown are representative of the structure under each group. They illustrate the framework's intended shape and are not a released data specification.
Governed lifecycle
One record, ten controlled transitions
The record moves through defined states. Each transition has an owner, an authority basis, and an evidentiary requirement.

Spans the lifecycle
Evidence
Collected, sourced, and rated at every stage — not only at the end.
Spans the lifecycle
Authority
Who may act, approve, and accept is explicit at each transition.
Spans the lifecycle
Controls
Control status is visible continuously, including what remains incomplete.
Spans the lifecycle
Attestations
Named individuals attest to what is claimed, and that attestation persists.
Decision dispositions
The record exists to support a decision
Its purpose is not merely to preserve status. It is to support defensible intervention decisions—each recorded with its authority basis, supporting evidence, and rationale.
Continue
Evidence supports proceeding on the current design and sequence.
Scale
Evidence supports extending scope, population, or investment.
Pause
A defined condition is unmet; work halts pending resolution.
Redesign
The intent remains valid; the intervention design does not.
Resequence
The work is sound but dependent on conditions not yet in place.
Stop
Evidence does not support continued investment.
Close
Implementation and outcome measurement are complete and accepted.
No Decision
Recorded explicitly, with the reason and the evidence that is missing.
Profiles
A common core, strengthened by context
Profiles layer additional obligations onto the framework. They may strengthen the common core with specific requirements, but they may not weaken its foundational governance requirements.
- L1Common Core
The foundational governance requirements every intervention record must satisfy.
- L2Sector
Obligations shared by an industry — regulatory reporting, safety, or prudential expectations.
- L3Public Sector
Public accountability, transparency, and stewardship-of-funds requirements.
- L4Jurisdiction
Legal duties specific to a country, state, province, or supranational regime.
- L5Organization
Internal policy, delegation limits, and board-level thresholds.
Executive orientation
Can your organization answer these questions?
For a single consequential intervention, in one place, with evidence attached and authority named.
- 01What intervention is actually being governed?
- 02Who owns the result?
- 03Who has approval and authorization authority?
- 04What evidence supports continuing or scaling?
- 05Which controls remain incomplete?
- 06What baseline will outcomes be compared with?
- 07What decision is currently required?
- 08When will benefits be measured?
- 09What would cause the organization to pause or stop?
Proposed application
Evidence-to-Decision Assurance Sprint
A proposed, design-partner-oriented advisory application of the framework. It is under development with a small number of organizations and is not a released service or product.
A focused engagement could apply the Governed Intervention Record to a consequential AI, transformation, modernization, or portfolio intervention—mapping authority, testing evidence, identifying missing controls, and preparing an executive decision record.
Design-partner participation is exploratory. Scope, sequence, and deliverables are defined with each organization; no performance outcome is promised or implied.

Better reporting does not guarantee better intervention.
The strategic advantage comes from preserving the relationship among purpose, authority, evidence, value, and decision—through the entire life of the intervention.
