# Cross-map your vocabulary against the canonical spine

Bring your own vocabulary, taxonomy, glossary or control framework. **KYE Protocol™** maps every one of your terms onto the canonical framework, jurisdiction and taxonomy spine — 249 frameworks — and returns a per-term verdict, an alignment score and a gap list in seconds. You see exactly where you line up and where you do not, cutting a manual crosswalk from days to minutes — and the free report runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste ever leaves it.

## Run the free cross-map

Paste your terms below — as JSON (`[{"term":"…","definition":"…"}]`), as CSV (term, definition), or as a plain glossary (`term: definition`, one per line). Pick the format, press run, and read the report. This is the free tier: the BYO Cross-Map™ runs client-side, so your terms are never uploaded.

### Report

Paste your terms and press **Run cross-map** to see the alignment table, gap list and score.

**Honesty bar.** KYE Protocol™ maps and flags only. Every verdict reports how your term relates to the canonical KYE™ spine — _aligned_, _divergent_, _gap_ or _conflict_. KYE™ never asserts whether your definition is correct, and it never resolves a conflict for you. The mapping is deterministic and replay-proof: the same terms always yield the same report.

## What each verdict means

Four verdicts, drawn from the canonical cross-map dictionary. They tell you where to look, not what to think — a regulator reads a flag the same way you do.

- **Aligned.** A canonical spine term matches yours at or above the similarity threshold. Example: your _Human oversight_ maps to EU AI Act™ Article 14 human oversight.
- **Divergent.** A related-but-not-identical spine term matched (related-not-identical). KYE™ flags it for your review; it does not merge the two.
- **Gap.** No spine term matched. A concept the canonical spine does not cover — surfaced for the paid full mapping, never called a deficiency.
- **Conflict.** Your term collides with a spine term under a meaning you marked as not-equivalent. KYE™ flags the collision and leaves the resolution to you.

The spine itself is no black box: it is compiled from the 249 frameworks in the coverage registry — EU AI Act™, ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, DORA, MAS and the rest — plus the KYE™ component taxonomy. See how it is assembled on the [taxonomy page](https://kyeprotocol.com/taxonomies/) and which regimes are covered on the [regulatory coverage page](https://kyeprotocol.com/regulatory-coverage/).

## From free report to sealed mapping

The free report is the whole report — real verdicts, a real score, a real gap list, computed in your browser. When you are ready to depend on it, a governed pilot turns the snapshot into a maintained asset.

- **Full mapping.** Your complete vocabulary cross-mapped against the deep per-requirement registry, with every match reviewed.
- **Sealed report.** Each cross-map sealed into an [Evidence Pack™](https://kyeprotocol.com/evidence-pack/) your auditors can replay-verify from public keys alone.
- **Ongoing sync.** When a framework moves, your mapping is re-run and the delta flagged — so your crosswalk never silently goes stale.

Boundary: [KYE Protocol™](https://kyeprotocol.com/) governs how your terms relate to the canonical spine and seals the evidence — it does not rewrite your vocabulary or decide what your terms ought to mean. That authority stays with you.
