TSMM Operational Profile

1. Purpose

The Operational Profile defines a TSMM implementation that can support routine trust-relevant decision flows in a live system.

2. Required elements

Requirement	Description
Minimal Profile baseline	All Minimal Profile requirements
Governance context	Explicit context for policy interpretation
Profile and requirements	Defined requirement bundle or baseline
Lifecycle tracking	Suspension, revocation, or expiry handling
Verification path	One or more verification processes
Threat awareness	At least a documented threat set or failure taxonomy
Publication surface	A discoverable publication pattern for trust-relevant system state, profile references, or evaluation outputs

3. Suitable use cases

• trust registry operations
• credential verification systems
• delegated action controls
• consumer trust-signal handling
• publication-oriented agent and service profiles that need downstream assurance review

4. Operational expectations

An implementation claiming the Operational Profile should be able to show, in machine-readable or replayable form, at least the following:

• which operator or publisher is accountable for the described system surface
• which policy or profile bundle governs the published trust posture
• where evidence and assessment references live
• how revocation, expiry, or suspension state is surfaced to downstream consumers

5. Outcome

An Operational Profile implementation can do real work without pretending runtime legitimacy is solved by vibes and a dashboard.
