Draft capability entry (reuse-surface REUSE-WP-0017-T04, cohort 1)

Honest first-pass maturity vector grounded in README/docs/tests present
in this repo; no invented evidence. Flagged for human review before
publish. See reuse-surface history/2026-07-06-coverage-classification.md.

+# InfoTechCanon Service Surface
+
+## Overview
+
+`info-tech-canon` implements a concrete service surface over one InfoTechCanon infospace: a JSON-first CLI, importable Python functions, and a read-only local HTTP API, backed by artifact loading and graph summaries from `infospace-bench`.
+
+## Assessment notes
+
+### Discovery
+
+README documents a working CLI surface (inspect, artifacts, models, standards, review-kit, alignment-template, validate, graph) over one concrete infospace under infospace/.
+
+### Availability
+
+Runnable today via `PYTHONPATH=src python3 -m info_tech_canon ...`; includes a read-only local HTTP API in addition to the CLI.
+
+### Completeness
+
+First-pass honest assessment from the REUSE-WP-0017 coverage campaign
+(reuse-surface). No external consumer feedback exists yet; levels reflect
+scope-vs-intent documentation quality, not internal code quality.
+
+### Reliability
+
+No production consumer telemetry exists yet; reliability level is
+intentionally conservative pending REUSE-WP-0019 reuse-telemetry evidence.
+
+## Promotion checklist
+
+- [x] ID follows `capability.<domain>.<name>` pattern
+- [x] Maturity enums match `specs/CapabilityMaturityStandard.md`
+- [x] `external_evidence` is populated separately from `maturity`
+- [ ] Relations reference valid capability IDs (none yet)
+- [x] Index entry added in `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml`
