# Consultation Domain Boundary

## Purpose

Public consultations, hearings, stakeholder feedback, formal comments, response matrices, and publication of results.

## Owns

- consultation processes
- hearing events
- stakeholder feedback
- formal comments
- response matrices
- publication state

## Does Not Own

- portal account management
- records retention policy
- generic form definitions

## Integration Candidates

- portal
- forms-runtime
- files
- records
- transparency
- reporting

## Seed State

The current repository state is intentionally small:

- module manifest and entry point
- tenant-level permission definitions
- manager and viewer role templates
- documentation topic describing the module boundary
- Gitea issue workflow templates
- manifest contract test

No runtime API, database model, migration, WebUI route, or navigation item is registered yet. The first implementation slice should preserve the boundary above and only add user-visible surfaces once the workflow model is clear.

## First Implementation Slice

Define consultation, phase, stakeholder, comment, response, publication, and record-link concepts.
