2026-04-03 Initial Positioning

Purpose

Establish a canonical product marketing source of truth for SecurityV0 positioning under docs/product/positioning/.

Source Inputs

• Notion Positioning, last updated 2026-03-31.
• Notion Access Chains - Primer, last updated 2026-03-31.
• Notion demo narrative DT 2026-04-02.
• Local product references:
  • docs/product/strategy/vision.md
  • docs/product/wedges/w1-exposure/definition.md
  • docs/architecture/research/2026-03-26-access-path-identity-scoped-grouping.md

Decisions Captured

• access chain is the primary product term for the customer-facing object.
• execution exposure is the primary product term for the governed risk condition.
• authority path and execution surface are deprecated in product marketing language.
• SecurityV0 is positioned as the deterministic governance layer for autonomous execution.
• The wedge is execution-confirmed, cross-system, identity-linked evidence, not generic AI security or static posture.

Files Added

• docs/product/positioning/positioning-snapshot.md
• docs/product/positioning/terminology.md
• docs/product/positioning/differentiation.md

Editorial Rules

• Keep positioning-snapshot.md concise and outward-facing.
• Keep terminology.md as the canonical language guardrail.
• Keep differentiation.md category-specific and non-duplicative.
• Record future wording shifts in docs/product/positioning/changes/.
