# Commissioned Intelligence Participation **Domain:** Private Intelligence / Authority / Procurement **System:** [[wiki/American Intelligence and Alliance Interface|American Intelligence and Alliance Interface]] ## Definition Commissioned Intelligence Participation is the architecture through which private citizens and firms enter national intelligence or security work under defined authority. Contracts, tasking, approval gates, vetting, bonds, reporting duties, and disclosed relationships specify the mission and preserve responsibility. These instruments are not signs of distrust in participation; they are the commission that turns initiative into durable public capacity. The nation gains reach while the participant gains a legible role. ## Place in the American System Commissioned Intelligence Participation is developed from [[collections/The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace|The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace]] and belongs to [[collections/American|the American Collection]]. Its role is to keep one stable concept available across doctrine, character, comportment, material culture, intelligence participation, and alliance work without collapsing those levels into one another. ## Relationships [[wiki/Citizen-Privateer|Citizen-Privateer]] · [[wiki/Approval Gate|Approval Gate]] · [[wiki/Privateering as Procurement Architecture|Privateering as Procurement Architecture]] ## Sources / Provenance The governing source is [[collections/The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace|The Civilian Intelligence Marketplace]]; the wider architecture is routed through [[wiki/American System|American System]].
