[Policy Title]

This template establishes no policy by itself. Fill in every bracketed section below to produce a real policy document, and give it real front matter (a unique document_id, a real owner, correct applies_to). Never mark status: approved when first drafting — approval is a separate, deliberate step.

Purpose

[Why this policy exists — what problem or risk it addresses.]

Scope

[Who and what this policy applies to. Be explicit about what is out of scope, too.]

Policy statement

[The actual rule(s). State them as binding requirements ("must", "must not"), not aspirations ("should try to").]

1. [Requirement 1]
2. [Requirement 2]

Rationale

[Why these specific rules, briefly — enough that a future reader can judge whether the rationale still holds.]

Exceptions

[How an exception to this policy may be requested and granted, if any exceptions are permitted at all. If none are permitted, say so explicitly.]

Enforcement

[How compliance is checked, if applicable — e.g. via scripts/check.py, via review process, via audit.]

Related documents
