Work Performed Event
Discussion
A Work Performed Event records that a Node completed a defined item of governed work. It provides the operational basis for cost attribution, compensation claims, settlement instructions, and non-performance analysis in the Cost Recovery, Compensation, and Settlement Plane. A Work Performed Event links the completed work to a work type, a qualified Node, an obligation reference, an evidence reference, and a time of completion. It provides the architecture with a traceable record that supports economic accountability without exposing unnecessary transaction details. A Work Performed Event differs from a control-plane status message. A control-plane status message describes the operational condition. A Work Performed Event records the completion of governed work that carries cost, evidence, or settlement relevance.

Note
A Work Performed Event provides input to compensation claims, cost allocation, provider comparison, and settlement processing. A Work Performed Event references evidence rather than embedding the full evidence payload.
Example
A fraud screening Node evaluates an FX transaction and completes the required screening action. The Node records a Work Performed Event that identifies the fraud screening work type, the applicable obligation, the evidence reference, and the completion time.
