One engine, two moments
“Can this person work here, under our rules, today?”
Asked once, that question is hiring, and the answer is a governed Work Activation record. Asked silently every day after, it is monitoring.
Verification travels with the worker, so every station proves the same fact instead of asking for it again.
Every station runs on the same record.
01 · The record
Enter it once, prove it forever.
Worker-provided evidence
02 · Verification
Confirm it at the source, then keep watching.
Source response · timestamp · scope
03 · Work
Match the role to the record, not the résumé.
Decision record · named human authority
04 · The floor
Evaluate independently, under the organization's own rules.
Organization policy · independent review
05 · Clear to bill
Close the gap between qualified and billable.
Payer response · location · tax identity
06 · Renewal
Chase the expiration before it costs a shift.
The line loops back to verification: one engine, continuous, receipted.
Expiration signal · renewal workflow · new source response
The execution boundary.

Bring the work you already have.
Rōvn reads what the organization already has, operates alongside it, and earns the replacement.
- Versioned mappings.Every import ties to a specific, named mapping version, never a silent guess.
- Row-level outcomes.Every row of a roster or export gets its own result, not one pass or fail for the whole file.
- No silent loss.A record that fails to map becomes visible work, never a quiet drop.
- Humans approve go-live.Mapping, identity resolution, policy, and go-live all wait on a named person's approval.
