THE ZENTRIQ PROTOCOL

2. Role-Based Logic

ZENTRIQ mandates a triadic operational model:

• Controller – responsible for primary data, financial entries, HR and supplier intake

• Investigator – performs first-level checks, KYC/AML, background screening

• Auditor – independent role that verifies the full chain and issues formal validation

Each process must include visible role handovers, recorded timestamps, and a signed digital or physical trail. No single person may perform all three roles.

3. Quarterly Rhythm & Audit Cycles

ZENTRIQ-certified entities operate on a strict quarterly cycle, structured as follows:

• Week 1–3: Operational data entry and first-line validations

• Week 4–6: Investigator checks and risk scoring

• Week 7–9: Auditor review, escalation if needed

• Week 10–12: Formal deposit of data (ICP, VAT, tax reports), certification closure

Each quarter closes with a timestamped certification archive, ready for institutional access (upon request).

4. Integrity Layers

Integrity is multi-dimensional. ZENTRIQ mandates verification in four independent domains:

• Financial Integrity – reconciliation, metadata validation, anti-fraud markers

• Digital Integrity – system access logs, cybersecurity hygiene, data handling

• Human Integrity – identity verification, employment law compliance, behavioral flags

• Cultural Integrity – values alignment, communication tone, internal climate metrics

Each layer must be documented with concrete evidence and risk classification.

5. Certified Tools & Formats

ZENTRIQ operates with certified forms, file formats, and tools, approved by ITECA and periodically reviewed. These include:

• Standardized invoice intake and validation templates

• AML checklist protocols (in line with EU 6AMLD)

• KYC/KYS profiles and decision trees

• ICP and salary declaration formats

• Audit logs and process certification templates

No unstructured or unverifiable documentation is accepted.
ITECA retains authority to revoke tool approval at any time.

6. Escalation and Remediation Processes

ZENTRIQ includes a built-in escalation ladder for process anomalies, errors, or risk flags. This includes:

• Immediate process halt by Auditor or Investigator

• Formal review initiated within 48 hours

• Root cause analysis and remediation record

• Resumption only upon Auditor’s signed clearance

Repeated failures, systemic manipulation, or falsified remediation may result in certification suspension.

7. System Enforcement by ITECA

ITECA acts as the final guarantor of ZENTRIQ’s authority. Its enforcement mechanisms include:

• Independent inspections and cross-audits

• Public suspension of entities failing structural checks

• Revocation of access to certified forms and dashboards

• Reporting to relevant institutions (regulators, chambers, tax authorities)

• Removal of Auditor credentials and role bans if abuse is detected

Certification is not permanent—it is conditional and earned quarterly.
