Insight

GovStack building blocks can support reuse, but trust-layer modularity must be more than software assembly. Trust services need legality gates, service contracts, evidence artefacts and inspection hooks before scale.

DPI consultants should be selected for lawful capability under dispute conditions, not desktop confidence. This article gives field tests, contract gates and deliverables for sovereign DPI procurement.
