1. Submission
A user or connected brand creates a structured request. New external records are designed to start confidential and non-public. Submission means the request exists; it does not mean IOXN has accepted it.
2. Qualification and review
Authorized operators assess fit, completeness, evidence and the next required action. Missing information can be requested without pretending the record has progressed further than it has.
3. Scope, proposal or decision
Depending on record type, the next material event may be an application decision, scope definition, proposal, agreement or other explicit decision.
4. Active delivery or participation
Only a real acceptance or approval should move the relationship into an active project, membership, credential or other operational state.
5. Evidence, completion and verification
Evidence and completion records can support final status, renewal, publication or verification where the applicable program uses those functions.
