Once the approach has been approved, we can update the GHGP policy and run the example data, publish the PCFs to the Hedera Network, and demonstrate how another guardian policy (of a supply chain partner) can reference a dynamic PCF to support scope 3 calculations. I believe Wes was interested in having this be a methodology breakdown.

API facilities to retrieve unique references (IDs) of results for API-triggered operations

Design a generic approach to the 'traceability' of API calls such that for each API call a chain of events and actions within Guardian policy and especially to outside systems can be established via the unique IDs culminating in:
Hedera transactions
Hedera topics messages
Hedera contract calls
Artifacts published on IPFS
Introduce a corresponding UI where users can visually observe the same information
Consider packaging this into Interactions Resilience Module (see related Hedera interactions resilience module #2905)

Guardian analytics: labels and top down data way points

Introduce 2 new workflows into Guardian, which include the corresponding roles and access permissions:
- labels author, for users to be able to create the 'rulesets' for evaluating data for their compliance with the chosen 'label',
- auditor workflow, for users which would use these 'rulesets' to apply to data.
Introduce the concept of labels, which can be specified to combine multiple statistics (introduced in Guardian analytics: bottom-up data traceability #3336) to create 'higher-order' statistics which themselves can be combined further essentially enabling the creation of 'data transformation' trees which, when applied to data, would ultimately get resolved into binary compliant/non-compliant answers. The top-level 'nodes' in these trees are 'Labels'.
Enhance the current capability of qualitative evaluations in Statistics to support the ability for users to attach external evidence and add textual comments/explanations whenever a human input is enabled. The evidence would then become part of the 'evaluation trust-chain', i.e. it should be hashed and stored verifiably. Evidence in the image formats should be viewable in the browser, archives (zip files), pdfs, csv files should be supported for attachment and then download.
Enable Auditors to apply 'label rulesets' to tokens, Guardian would then automatically traverse the token trust-chain to find and evaluate the required data to produce the label conclusion, i.e. the compliant/non-compliant results. These results can optionally be published to IPFS/topics by Auditors that generated them.
Enable ordinary users to search for statistics, label ruleset, and label conclusions that have been published.

Trustchain support for contract-based issuance and retirement implementation

Extend/modify trustchain implementation to support new contract-based issuance and retirement functionality such that users have visibility to the entire lifecycle of the token and have access to all significant artifacts produced as a result.

Reviewing and Verifying Atma policy

Some interesting next steps could be to address the final data gaps; engage with PACT to review the policy and schema, provide feedback, and identify new use cases and features; engage with a third-party auditor to review or potentially verify the policy; and eventually have actual downstream supply chain partners referencing the PCF.

Formula Driven Definitions & Schema Tree Enhancement

Dry-run policy execution 'savepoints' - restart policy dry-run from the list of 'saved' places

Introduce a new functionality for users to 'save' dry-run execution status at arbitrary points by clicking 'save state' button.
The system should support the creation of multiple save points for the same execution workflow
Next time the (draft) policy is executed in the dry-run mode users should be given a choice whether to restart from the beginning or continue execution from any of the 'save points'.
Starting execution from a 'save point' invalidates and removes all the other save points that logically followed it
It should be possible to delete some or all save points manually
