Policy
Mandatory constraints ("what must be true"). Policies are stable, auditable, and reference procedures/templates where needed.
Domains
Domains are named kinds of work at Allied: subject-matter areas where activity, risk, standards, and vocabulary cluster. They give a shared vocabulary for what sort of work or control you are dealing with. Programme delivery, collaboration in Drive, and execution in Linear combine work from several domains; domains describe the shape of the work and its controls.
The table below is Allied’s current domain set for grouping this policy stack (and the matching procedures and templates collections) so each document sits with the kind of work it governs. The definitive definition and list in the systems model is Domains.
Policy domains

| Enterprise | enterprise | Company-wide baselines |
| Engineering | engineering | Physical engineering design authority |
| Production | production | Manufacturing and supply chain |
