Legend

XaaS= Service primitives (e.g., NaaS = Naming‑as‑a‑Service, AaaS = Anchoring‑as‑a‑Service).
Codes= Nomenclature codes touched (ICNafp, ICZN, ICNP, ICTV, ICNCP, ICPN, PhyloCode).
Anchors= What proves identity (specimen, strain, sequence, cultivar record, relevé, phylo specifiers, digital credential).
Pipeline= Canonical UCLS flow for the sector (Token → Anchor → Validity → Registry → Priority/Change → Graph).
KPIs/SLOs= Suggested targets you can tune to your org’s posture.
