Doctrine

The 17 methodological cards

ACF® deploys through seventeen methodological cards numbered ACF-00 to ACF-16, ready to be printed, filled in, signed, archived. Each card is a defensible governance object, accessible via the MCP server at acf://fiche/ACF-XX.

→Tip

The cards are public for teachers, trainers, researchers, and training institutions, under an Educational Use Charter. For organisations in deployment, they ship alongside the ACF® Toolkit Manual (130 pages), an introduction deck, and five calibrated case studies.

How to use them

For deployment: follow the sequence ACF-00 (Score) → ACF-01 (Map) → ACF-02 (Criticality) → ACF-03 (Constitution) → ACF-04 (Agent Card) → ACF-12 (Mandate) → ACF-06 (Kill Switch) → ACF-08 (Register). See the deployment methodology on the 6-18 month horizon.
For training: follow ACF-13 (Guided Practical Case) → ACF-14 (Teacher Guide) with the five sector-calibrated cases.
For audit: ACF-10 (30-day Audit) then ACF-11 (Risk Assessment) then ACF-15 (Quarterly Simulation).

Programmatic access

Each card is exposed by the MCP server at acf://fiche/ACF-XX (signed MCP resource). For context-aware retrieval, use the acf.fiche.lookup tool, which additionally returns the activated principles, the matrix mapping cell, and the related cards.
