QVTM role
- capture authority-changing events as continuity evidence
- correlate organizational, identity and system changes
- return continuity context before an external policy decision
- avoid claiming universal authorization semantics
QVTM / Continuity pattern
Authority & delegation change
Track how human, organizational or delegated authority evolves while leaving the actual authorization semantics to the integrating system.
The continuity question
The credential is valid — but is the authority it represents still a coherent continuation of what was trusted before?
Typical trigger
Role change, merger/acquisition, approver replacement, MPC participant change, delegated-agent upgrade or organizational succession.

What stays outside QVTM
Authentication, business authorization, domain semantics and the controls named in each example remain responsible for their own decisions.
Industry proof points
Same pattern. Different evidence. Different benefit.
Organizations & collaboration
A strategic supplier is acquired, changes domains and rotates the administrators operating a shared service.
Distinct benefit
A merger becomes an inspectable succession path instead of an undocumented reset of technical trust between partners.
Evidence
Works with
Digital assets
A treasury replaces an MPC participant and changes an approver after restructuring.
Distinct benefit
Custody remains responsible for signing security while QVTM preserves evidence explaining why the current signing authority follows the earlier organization.
Evidence
Works with
AI & autonomous systems
An autonomous agent is upgraded, moved to new infrastructure and re-credentialed while retaining a delegated operational role.
Distinct benefit
An external policy engine can distinguish a documented evolution of delegated authority from a newly appearing agent identity; QVTM does not invent the delegation policy.
