13. Phase 0 and Later-Phase Treatment
Phase 0 may include only placeholders for this plane. Phase 0 does not need to implement real billing, settlement, accounting integration, or provider competition. A later demo phase may introduce:
-
Mock cost rules
-
Mock provider qualification records
-
Mock compensation claims
-
Mock settlement instructions
-
Persistence cost records
-
Evidence-linked work records
-
Non-performance alerts
-
Provider substitution scenarios
The first implementation objective should demonstrate the architectural pattern rather than commercial completeness.
