Containment Framework (After Refusal) defines what must happen after a refusal decision has been issued.
Most frameworks stop at saying no. This reference defines the governance boundaries that apply once activity has been prohibited—ensuring harm does not spread, dependencies do not grow, and systems do not quietly re-expand.
This is not a guide, methodology, or decision aid. It does not propose actions, remediation paths, or recovery strategies.
The framework
when continuation is prohibited,
how residual states must be bounded,
and why containment exists to prevent expansion, not permit activity.
Designed for long-lived systems, regulated environments, and high-consequence decisions, this artifact serves as a closed governance reference that can be cited, embedded, or enforced without interpretation.
