What is a Constraint Manifest?

A Constraint Manifest is a portable signed document issued after MTCP evaluation. It contains the model's constraint persistence grades, validity windows, and regulatory compliance status. The manifest travels with the model deployment — any receiving system can verify independently that the model has been evaluated and what its current status is.

The manifest eliminates the need for repeated evaluation at each deployment stage. Once issued, it serves as cryptographically verifiable proof of evaluation status until its validity window expires.

What It Contains

Each Constraint Manifest contains 29 fields. The following are the key fields:

FieldDescription
Model ID Unique identifier for the evaluated model version
Evaluation Date Date of most recent MTCP evaluation
BIS Grade Boundary Integrity Score with temperature breakdown
CSAS Score Cross-System Admissibility Score for coordination pairs
JRS Score Jurisdiction Resolution Score for governance boundaries
TDS Validity Temporal Drift Score with validity window (typically 90 days)
Regulatory Compliance Compliance status per jurisdiction (EU AI Act, NIST, NDMO, NCA, MAS)
BEC Integrity Blockchain Evidence Chain integrity hash for verification
Issuer Signature Cryptographic signature from MTCP evaluation authority
constraint_object_id Unique identifier of the registered constraint object this manifest attests to. Links to the Constraint Object Registry.
constraint_provenance Source of the constraint object including issuing authority, registration date, and authority chain.
grc_hash SHA-256 hash of the Governance Reference Conditions record at time of issuance. Proves GRC conditions were captured.
dra_score Deployment Readiness Attestation score (0.0 to 1.0). Composite of BIS, TDS, BEC integrity, and Gate status.
dra_grade Grade A through F corresponding to DRA score. A is 0.9+. B is 0.8+. C is 0.7+. D is 0.6+. F is below 0.6.
runtime_monitor_enabled Boolean. Whether this deployment is actively monitored by the PRP runtime wrapper.
last_session_coherence_hash SHA-256 hash of the most recent session coherence record. Proves last monitored session is complete and untampered.
crypto_standard Cryptographic algorithm used to sign this manifest. Current standard: BLAKE3.
crypto_valid_until Date until which the cryptographic standard is considered quantum-safe for governance evidence.
