Governance
Governed by the Market.
Built for the Market.
PRSC™ is a neutral standards body — independent of any single organization, brand, agency, or platform. Its authority comes from the market it serves and the rigor of the Standard it maintains.
Why We Built This
A market that moves $100B+ deserves an institution.
Every mature market has a standards body — for accounting, for credit, for security, for measurement. Partnership and sponsorship, uniquely, do not.
PRSC exists to fill that gap: to build the durable, non-commercial infrastructure the industry has always lacked, so capital can be deployed with the confidence that mature markets require.

Every mature market. One institution each.
The Architecture
Three layers. One institution.
A layered structure that separates governance, methodology, and market perspective — each independent, each accountable.
Governing Body
The Council itself. Sets the constitution, approves methodology versions, and safeguards independence.
- Constitution
- Methodology approval
- Independence
Methodology Committee
Practitioners and researchers who develop, peer-review, and version the Standard. Publishes changes, rationale, and calibration data.
- Peer review
- Version control
- Calibration
Advisory Network
Rotating advisors from organizations, brands, media, academia, and government. Ensures the Standard evolves with the market it serves.
- Rotating seats
- Cross-sector
- Market signal
Authority is earned through governance.
PRSC does not exist to represent any one organization.
It exists to protect the integrity of the Standard.
Every governance layer exists for a single purpose: to ensure that a PRSC Readiness Score™ means the same thing tomorrow as it does today.

No commercial revenue from scored organizations.
Published conflict-of-interest registers for every Council and Committee member.
Open-licensed methodology, versioned in public.
Term-limited Council seats with published rotation cadence.

Transparency Statement
Governance & Affiliation Disclosure
The Partnership Readiness Standards Council and Decision Intelligence Systems, Inc. are affiliated organizations under common ownership. PRSC governs the PRSC Readiness Standard™ independently. DIS operates the Readiness Terminal™ and Evidence Portal™ under an arm’s-length license agreement. The Council retains full authority to terminate that license for breach of independence requirements. The three Independence Safeguards that enforce this separation are published in the PRSC Governance & Market-Trust Charter.
