The source register records the exact government action before Kedge calculates an aggregate. A state advances only when a separate source record supports the later action.
- Access
- A channel to a government operator, office, event, or acquisition team. A meeting, introduction, office-hours session, or invitation can establish access. Access does not establish demand, selection, or funding.
- Interest
- A government actor expresses a positive view, asks for information, or identifies possible relevance without making a selection or funded commitment.
- Invitation
- The government asks the organization to participate in a defined next step. An invitation is access unless the governing process makes it a formal selection.
- Marketplace or awardable status
- A process determines that the organization or solution may be bought through a defined channel. The status does not place an order, sign a contract, or obligate funds.
- Finalist or technical selection
- An authorized process chooses the organization for the next defined stage. Selection does not establish award, successful performance, or funded transition.
- Prize
- Money or another stated benefit awarded under published challenge rules. A prize is not a production commitment or funded follow-on unless a separate action establishes one.
- Contract signature
- The government and contractor execute a binding agreement. Signature is not the same as obligation, payment, revenue, successful performance, or funded transition beyond the signed scope.
- Award
- An authorized government decision places the current agreement or stated benefit. The record identifies the instrument and exact stage.
- Obligation
- The government records a legal commitment of funds for a stated purpose. Obligation is not invoiced value, cash received, or recognized revenue.
- Revenue
- Amount earned or recognized by the organization under its accounting policy. Ceiling, option, selection, award, obligation, invoice, and payment are separate fields.
- Successful performance
- The organization completes the selected or funded stage against its defined conditions. The result supports only what the event measured.
- Funded transition
- A government office places or commits the next funded action that carries the capability beyond the current stage. A possible follow-on is not funded transition.
- In negotiation
- The parties are discussing scope, price, terms, or an agreement that has not reached the controlling signed, awarded, or obligated state.
