# GovOPlaN Mandates

<!-- govoplan-repository-type:start -->
**Repository type:** module (domain).
<!-- govoplan-repository-type:end -->

`govoplan-mandates` owns effective-dated institutional competence: tasks,
jurisdiction, responsibility, decision or signature authority, legal basis,
evidence, conflicts, suspension, replacement, and retirement.

Organizations owns structures and functions, IDM owns incumbency, Access owns
application permissions, and Policy owns constraints. Mandates answers why an
institution, unit, or function was competent to perform a governed action at a
specific time.

The module stores immutable mandate revisions and exposes the provider-neutral
`mandates.resolver` capability. Consumers retain exact returned references and
evidence instead of reading Mandates tables.
