Aspect

Section: 3.13 Templates, worked examples, and tooling considerations
Orientation relevance: both

Objective

Decide the standard profile-definition template, the first worked-example profile to develop
end-to-end, and what the methodology says about tooling. Develop in parallel to test the
method against a real case; finalise last, as it captures the outputs of the other aspects.

Background & links

Scoping document §3.13. A methodology is adopted in proportion to how easy it is to apply.
A procurement or PQC-migration profile is the natural first worked example.

Options under consideration

• Single canonical template + one worked example — one template capturing objective,
  scope, attribute selection, obligations, mappings, semantics, governance; one end-to-end
  example. (Trade-off: focused; may not cover both orientations.)
• Per-orientation templates — separate inventory and migration templates.
  (Trade-off: better fit; more to maintain.)
• Tooling stance — describe generation/validation/ingestion needs without mandating
  specific tools (tool-neutral but tool-friendly).

Open questions

• A standard profile-definition template capturing the outputs of the other aspects.
• At least one worked-example profile developed end-to-end (procurement or PQC-migration a natural first candidate).
• What the methodology says about tooling, without mandating specific tools.

Dependencies

Depends on the outputs of 3.1–3.12 (especially the model 3.3 #1, obligations 3.4 #6,
and conformance 3.5 #7). Develop the worked example in parallel; finalise the template last.

Decision

Not yet decided.

Impact on the specification

Spec section "Profile-definition template and worked example," plus the worked-example annex.
