Use case · Board and adviser search

For CEOs, chairs, nomination leads, search teams and governance owners reviewing a high-cost people choice.

One mandate · One traceable slate

Start with the gap, then earn every name on the slate

Keep the role, exact facts, judged reasons, source dates, people, paths, panel actions and formal hand-off on one mandate. The buyer makes the judgement; Graph One does not appoint or engage anyone.

Use this when the brief, search file, profile pack, route notes and panel actions sit apart, so no reviewer can see the full reason for a name.

Review the Sample Slate

01 · Exact Search

Make the entry rule repeatable

The editable query uses available role and country fields. It forms a research set; it does not infer the board gap or prove that anyone can hold the role.

02 · Judged evidence

Compare like with like, in plain words

Ask the same two questions of every record. Read the reason, source date and open gap before recording a human state.

Visible reasons · Same mandate tests

Three records, no total score

Supported, Partial and Open apply to one question at a time. The reviewer records Include, Hold or Reject after reading the reason.

Open gap: No shown evidence for either judged question
Reviewer: Governance reviewer
Human state: Reject – mandate exclusion

A research state records why a local sample person stays in, stays on hold or leaves this mandate. The mandate owner separately checks independence, qualification, availability, interest, consent and suitability.

03 · Person record

Inspect the record, then close its evidence gaps

Open the included record before any relationship path. The source class, observed date, criterion states and formal limits stay beside the person.

Include means keep for this research slate, not qualified, independent or suitable.

05 · Reviewed slate View

Give the panel one record it can challenge

The same three people now carry exact facts, source and date, two visible reasons, gap, reviewer, human state, owner, route note and formal destination.

Whole slate, Included for review and Evidence on hold are saved Views of the same Table. Row comments keep the panel’s questions with the person; they do not replace formal records.

06 · Owned panel work

Hand the record off, not the decision

The Board holds evidence review, closed research and the research hand-off. Owners, dates and comments stay visible; consent and formal checks do not move into these lanes.

Path 1

Board or trustee appointment

Selected for BA–17

Research record carries: Mandate ID, person record, source and date, reasons, open gaps, reviewer state, owner and decision date
Formal checks outside Graph One: Interest, consent, references, independence, conflicts, eligibility, nomination rights, approval, filing and appointment record
Buyer-owned destination: Buyer’s board, governance and appointment process

Path 2

Adviser engagement

Separate path · not selected for this mandate

Research record carries: Adviser remit, evidence record, gaps, reviewer state, owner and review date
Formal checks outside Graph One: Interest, consent, conflicts, scope, time need, terms, procurement, approval and engagement record
Buyer-owned destination: Buyer’s legal, procurement or adviser-engagement process

Graph One does not appoint, engage or approve a person. The target system and hand-off method form part of the scoped sale; this sample does not claim a live connector, write-back or completed transfer.

07 · Access and data limit

Show who can review, then state what that proves

The shown Board has named access paths and no public link. That state does not settle allowed data, retention, audit or governance approval.

Maya Chen owns the access review. Source approval and formal authority stay with the buyer.

Graph One holds

The mandate fields, exact query, available profile context, judged reasons, source label and date, gaps, person, path, Table, Views, comments, Board state, reviewer, owner and shown access paths.

Buyer or approved source supplies

The current board review, role type, gap, intended contribution, allowed source scope, exclusions, reviewer judgement and any evidence outside the available Graph One record.

Buyer’s formal systems own

Source rights, retention and data-use decisions, consent, references, independence, conflicts, eligibility, terms, approval, filing, appointment or adviser engagement.

Public sharing is off in this sample. Maya owns the access review. The shown access paths do not prove source approval, lawful use, retention, audit, due diligence or governance approval.
