# ITC-WP-0007 - User Engine Evaluation Readiness

## Goal

Prepare canon-side evaluation material for assessing `user-engine` against
InfoTechCanon before integrating it as the user-management capability.

## Intent

The first use of the service will be evaluation, not direct enforcement. The
canon should help determine whether user-engine cleanly represents users,
actors, subjects, principals, organization roles, access roles, purposes,
governance expectations, and integration boundaries.

## Tasks

### T01 - Evaluation question set

```task
id: ITC-WP-0007-T01
status: planned
priority: high
```

- Create a canon-side question set for user-management capability evaluation.
- Cover Organization, Access Control, Governance, Data, Security, Task, and
  PURPOSES concepts.

### T02 - Expected artifact profile

```task
id: ITC-WP-0007-T02
status: planned
priority: high
```

- Define expected Canon Interface Card fields for user-engine.
- Define expected entity and edge types user-engine should expose or map.
- Define evidence needed before integration.

### T03 - Small SaaS alignment

```task
id: ITC-WP-0007-T03
status: planned
priority: medium
```

- Use the small SaaS profile as the concrete evaluation lens.
- Identify where user-engine should satisfy profile requirements.

### T04 - Consumer workplan brief

```task
id: ITC-WP-0007-T04
status: planned
priority: medium
```

- Produce a brief that can be copied into a user-engine workplan.
- Do not create or maintain the user-engine adoption workplan here.

## Non-Goals

- Do not refactor user-engine in this repo.
- Do not decide user-engine implementation details here.

## Acceptance

- InfoTechCanon can evaluate user-engine before integration work begins.
- The evaluation pack is machine-readable enough for CLI/API use.
- A consumer workplan brief exists for user-engine.
