Canada mapping

Publicus statuses are meant to help federal teams, reviewers, and vendors move from package-level trust questions to deployment and procurement decisions in a Canadian context.

Status intent

Allowed means no currently cited evidence blocks routine use in the intended category.
Allowed with constraints means use is possible, but deployment and governance conditions matter.
Under review means the evidence base is incomplete or moving.
Blocked means there is an active reason not to ship or deploy.

What this should map to next

The next step is a machine-readable crosswalk between these statuses and concrete Canadian policy, security, and procurement instruments.

The first standards artifact is now live as a support crosswalk to NIST AI RMF 1.0. It should be read as a bridge from package-level registry decisions into broader governance language, not as a claim of full-system compliance.
