# Commission Board
**Entity class:** Concept or operational method
**Domain:** Labor Boards
## Definition
A sovereign-approved prime organizes qualified work beneath the commission and its program terms. Threat inputs, specialist subcontracting, disclosed relationships, and approval connect private contributors with a public mission.
## Operational role
The task board recruits work, the sensor board recruits coverage, the commission board recruits qualified capability, and the agent board recruits executable workflows. A client engages a prime, the prime organizes contributors, and the resulting product returns to a model, operational center, or case. The boards make the market’s vocabulary and entry roles legible.
