Operational suitability is not a grant of authority. Finding a truck that could run the lane does not mean SSDF may dispatch it, and it does not mean SSDF may sell the work.
Authorization engine
Demand is real and an SSDF capability can be offered without SSDF owning the underlying freight, employment, or lead.
Human reviews outreach. Offer SSDF's own capability under a direct service or software agreement.
Load decision card
A match is an analytical result. An assignment is an authorized act.

Source adapter
Broker portals via authorized api. Signal only — not SSDF-owned data.
Discovery ≠ transaction
This stage reports that demand exists. It does not arrange transportation, employment, or a marketplace deal.
Lead product
Signal is held internally. It will not be sold, resold, or listed.
Commercial role
Role is software. SSDF sells a capability to one customer; that customer controls the regulated transaction.
Customer control
Software / intelligence / evidence. The customer retains the transportation, hiring, or claims decision.
Money flow
Customer pays SSDF a subscription or usage fee for a capability. No commission is taken merely because a signal was discovered.
Data flow
Ephemeral signal → SSDF opportunity record (requirement, capability match, decision). Source content is not copied as a dataset.
Human authority
No execution without a human. The machine recommends. A person authorizes.
Economic test
Contribution $1,676.13 with HOS short and equipment fit. Human must confirm this is still the right truck.
Transport Core
Carrier-controlled operating software: graph, ingest, dispatch workflow, documents, tracking, history.
SW-CORE · $199 / month, independent of any load
Role: software. Discovery is not execution. Human authority is still required.
