Human decision gate
PEXT never converts an interesting idea into a commitment without an explicit decision.
Lifecycle
One governed path from capture to closure.

Evidence gate
EXECUTED, FOLLOW_UP and CLOSED states require admissible receipts.
No busywork reward
Task count is not a success metric. Reject and archive protect strategic capacity.
Domain ownership
PEXT governs follow-through; domain systems retain research, risk and external execution authority.
PEXT records and audits execution. It does not autonomously send, submit, schedule or trade.
