The matrix shows where each stream sits in the SMU CGI six-channel governance taxonomy. Channel 2 (ballot access via Broadridge/DTCC) is intentionally empty because it is treated as background, not a dedicated stream. The rubric below makes V07’s four empirical tests visible alongside source-status.
Figure 2. Channel × Stream matrix. Eight streams (rows) across the six SMU CGI governance channels (columns). Filled cells indicate the dedicated channel each stream addresses. The empty Channel 2 column makes the background-vs-engaged distinction visible: Broadridge/DTCC ballot-access infrastructure is not the subject of a dedicated stream in this build.Figure 5. Empirical disambiguation rubric. The four pre-specified tests V07 commits to running, with current source-status for each cell. “Collection underway” means the underlying primary-source corpus is being assembled; “Source pending” means scoping is in progress. No cell carries a “Data ready” status yet; that is the build-out goal as the V07 empirical layer matures.
