Claim limits

aws2 is currently a working draft and profile model. The docs can explain the standard, show examples, and invite review, but they must not imply stronger status than the evidence and governance process supports.

Allowed wording

• maps to
• supports evidence for
• candidate control
• draft profile
• working draft
• profile model
• scoped workflow review
• future release path

Prohibited wording without a stronger governance path

• certified against aws2
• legally compliant because of aws2
• endorsed by a named organization
• partner, sponsor, council, auditor, assessor, or working-group claims
• production assurance claims based only on draft text or sample evidence
• equivalent to another external standard without a governed and reviewed mapping basis

Safer public framing

Use aws2 to describe a reviewable boundary for agentic workspace systems: what is in scope, what is excluded, who owns the workflow, which actions are gated, what sources can steer the agent, what evidence remains, and which claims are unsupported.

Good public wording should be direct without overstating maturity:

• aws2 helps teams structure evidence for scoped agentic workspace workflows.
• This workflow maps to selected aws2 candidate controls.
• This evidence packet supports review of selected aws2 control families.
• The current text is a working draft and does not create certification or legal compliance.

Review triggers

Any public page, navigation label, metadata description, release note, example, or external-facing claim that suggests certification, compliance, endorsement, auditor status, validator status, partner support, or production assurance should be treated as a governance review item before it is published or reused elsewhere.
