Pre-Charter History (Summary)
The IFC Programme's formal epoch begins with the issuance of SD-IFC-2026-001 on 2026-05-10. The following summarises material production activity prior to Charter issuance, to provide an accurate operational picture from inception.
Prototype development (pre-2026-05-08):
Andrew developed the Participant Statement Toolkit through an ad-hoc AI-assisted process, producing v1 through v7. The v7 prototype implements 22 of 23 requirements (R-001 through R-022 active; R-023 — save function — pending). The prototype is a fully self-contained browser-based HTML file with no external dependencies or data transmission.
P3 governance scaffolding (2026-05-08):
Brian established the P3-Governance structure for NAVV:
- NAVV Maturity Assessment - 2026-05-08 — baseline capability terrain
- NAVV Principles Register - 2026-05-08 — governing constraints
- P3-Index — portfolio navigation index
- Direction Statement — approved direction statement
IFC structure identified (2026-05-09):
NbLM extraction pass on the IFC notebook (07344d6e-933e-43f0-81e2-8576ff93e178) revealed that IFC is a Programme (not a Product) — a strategic framework holding five component tools. Product Brief - Participant Statement Toolkit validated as Component #4 (active). IFC Strategy Brief produced as working paper in Droppings/.
P3 Programme Guidance generated (2026-05-10):
P3 Programme Guidance produced to resolve Programme-level theory gaps in the P3 reference library — specifically: what a Programme is in P3 terms, the required artefact classes, and the lifecycle. Identified that the existing working paper constituted a valid Strategy Dossier pending formal issuance.

Strategy Sentinel signal: No recalibration signal active. Direction is confirmed viable. Build-out epoch begins.
Entry 002 — Programme Analysis and Structural Merge
Date: 2026-05-11
Type: Structural Decision + Analysis
Programme-level analysis of Andrew's Product Brief: 02 (IFC notebook, source adc198b5). Full analysis in Droppings/: Programme Analysis - Product Brief 02, Gap Analysis - Product Brief 02 vs P3 Baseline.
Key strategic findings:
- Mark Butler's commissioning process is the primary external threat — the free market for coordination is ending; only commissioned providers will be approved to operate as navigators
- New Framework Plans (delayed to April 2027) shift the NDIS from goals-led to needs-assessment-led — Participant Statement becomes a functional translation layer, not a plan driver
- The hybrid SC/PRC model is confirmed as the IFC programme's strategic core. The Practice Rationale and Audit Framework (embedded in
Product Brief: 02) provides the audit-defensible compliance architecture - Andrew's Goal 3 is absent — Choice and Control Flexibility Educator confirmed not intended as a standalone product
Structural decision enacted (Brian confirmed):
Component #3 (Choice and Control Flexibility Educator) merged into Component #1 (Visual Guide to the NDIS Plan) as Loop 4. Former standalone extract archived in Droppings/ as immutable history.
Artefacts updated this entry:
| Artefact | Change |
|---|---|
| Product Brief - Visual Guide to the NDIS Plan | Loop 4 expanded to absorb Component #3; G-02 resolved; header updated |
| Strategy Dossier - IFC | Component #3 row updated to reflect merged status |
| P3-Index | Component #3 row updated to reflect merged status |
| NAVV Questions Log | Q-023 closed (answered); Q-024 answered (Practice Rationale → wiki territory report) |
Product portfolio state at this entry:
| Component | Status |
|---|---|
| #1 — Visual Guide to NDIS Plan (absorbs #3) | Active — brief updated |
| #2 — Visual Guide to Service Agreement | Active — G-01 (visual design) open |
| #3 — Choice and Control Flexibility Educator | Merged into #1 |
| #4 — Participant Statement Toolkit | Active — update needed (New Framework Plans, Goal 5b) |
| #5 — Psychosocial Recovery Plan | Active — dual progress report constraint to be added |
Practice Rationale routing decision (Brian): The Practice Rationale and Audit Framework is not a product component — it is a candidate for the wiki's first Territory Report. This knowledge is routed to the wiki intellectual commons, not to the IFC product inventory.
Strategy Sentinel signal: No recalibration signal. The commissioning window (before April 2027) adds urgency to the epoch but does not change its definition.
Saga opened: 2026-05-10.
