domain-review

A structured domain review is an element-by-element evaluation of a governance domain against its domain contract to assess health, alignment, and stewardship effectiveness. It records qualitative and objective metric data to trigger formal decisions like reaffirm, refine, reassign, merge, or sunset.

You need a versioned domain contract and a defined 11-element evaluation framework to run a periodic domain assessment. The process requires steward input and a formal consent process to produce a formal health assessment and traceable action plan.

You should sunset or merge a governance domain after completing a structured element-by-element review against the domain contract. The formal consent process evaluates health signals and steward effectiveness to determine if boundary negotiations, role transfers, or sunsetting are required.

Yes, domain review is applicable to active domains across ETHOS. It enables periodic health checks and stewardship assessments by performing a standardized evaluation against the versioned domain contract to produce traceable follow-up actions.
