For universities, research institutes, labs, think-tanks, standards bodies, and academic press. KYE™ Sector Pack Foundry™ # Publishing Authority Track™ — productise governed research into published authority. The publisher of authority, and the authority for publishing. The KYE™ Publishing Authority Track™ is the research-publishing specialisation of the KYE™ Sector Pack Foundry™ — a track inside the one Foundry, not a separate foundry. It productises governed AI research into published authority through the KYE™ Governed Research Rail™ evidence pipeline: every claim resolves to a cited, pinned public source, the evidence pack is sealed, and the published report is replay-verifiable from published keys alone. KYE™ governs actions and authorities, not outcomes, diagnoses, or results — the Track makes a research claim’s _provenance_ provable, never its conclusions warranted.

The Track is open to participants whose published research carries institutional weight. Games and trade-book publishing are explicitly out of scope — this is a governed-research line, not a general publishing house. - **Universities and academic departments.** Peer-reviewed research that needs an evidence-governed, replay-verifiable publication channel for AI-governance findings. - **Research institutes and labs.** Applied-research teams turning empirical findings into cited, defensible published authority. - **Think-tanks.** Policy-research bodies whose influence depends on every claim being traceable to a public source. - **Standards bodies.** Organisations whose published guidance must be auditable and provenance-complete by design. - **Academic press.** Scholarly publishers adopting a governed evidence pipeline for AI-governance titles. Why a research institution co-authors here ## Authority you can prove — every claim cited, pinned, sealed, and verifiable. - **No claim without a cited source.** Every published claim resolves to a public source pinned into the sealed evidence pack. This is the KYE™ Governed Research Rail™ Veracity rule — the no-hallucination gate, applied to research. - **Sealed, replay-verifiable editions.** Each edition is signed over the published JWKS; a reader verifies the seal from public keys alone, with no vendor cooperation required. - **One render, many targets.** The same governed edition renders to web, email, and PDF through the canonical deterministic-render machinery — the Track ships no parallel renderer. - **Provenance, not warranties.** KYE™ governs the authority and provenance of a research action, never the outcome it asserts. The Track makes _how a claim was established_ provable; it never represents KYE™ as warranting a result, diagnosis, or outcome. - **Co-branded distribution.** Build and Venture tiers carry a co-authored byline and a KYE-Powered Pack™ badge once the coverage attestation certifies that every claim is pinned. How productisation works ## The 8-stage governed-research pipeline — from topic to verifiable edition. Every co-authored edition flows through the same eight stages, bound to canonical KYE Protocol™ envelopes — no parallel surfaces, no one-off shapes per participant. 1. **1 — Topic selection.** A planned cell of the report matrix (series × format × sector × audience × cadence) is registered — never the pre-generated combinatorial space. 2. **2 — Gather.** Sources are fetched through governed retrieval and each is pinned as evidence at the moment it is read. 3. **3 — Synthesize.** The edition is drafted under the no-hallucination gate: every claim maps to a pinned source. Unsourced claims are refused before they ship. 4. **4 — Evidence pack.** The cited sources assemble into a sealed evidence pack backing every claim in the edition. 5. **5 — Seal.** The edition envelope is signed over the published JWKS, making it replay-verifiable. 6. **6 — Render.** One render produces web, email, and PDF targets through the canonical deterministic-render machinery. 7. **7 — Distribute.** The edition publishes to the governed library and subscription channels; free and paid tiers are governed by the same evidence gate. 8. **8 — Verify.** A public-key footer points any reader at the published keys; the seal verifies offline against the trust JWKS. Three tiers ## Scout · Build · Venture — the same Foundry ladder, applied to research. The Track rides the canonical KYE™ Sector Pack Foundry™ three-tier ladder. Productisation is qualification-gated and disclosed under NDA to qualified applicants. | Tier | What happens | SKU | | --- | --- | --- | | Scout | 2–4 week assessment of a research thesis, dataset, or methodology against the governed-research productisation contract. Outputs a thesis-fit memo and a Build-tier conversion proposal. | KYE-FOUNDRY-RESEARCH-SCOUT | | Build | 12–16 week co-authoring of one governed edition through the 8-stage pipeline, with coverage attestation and KYE-Powered Pack™ badge issuance. | KYE-FOUNDRY-RESEARCH-BUILD | | Venture | Multi-edition, co-branded engagement with a published roadmap, time-boxed performance-gated exclusivity, and quarterly attestation cadence. | KYE-FOUNDRY-RESEARCH-VENTURE | All tiers are **contact-for-pricing**, closed-registration, and value-based per §26 closed-registration discipline. The exact contracted rate is private under the Partner Disclosure Boundary. Apply via the Foundry ## Qualified research participants — apply through the Foundry.
