This module provides the concrete, incremental roadmap for implementation. We introduce the AKE Maturity Ladder, a five-level model that guides teams from chaotic, unstructured data (L0) to a self-healing knowledge mesh (L5). You'll learn to assess your current state, identify the most common stall points, and plot your progression by replacing assumption with evidence at each stage.

We then translate maturity into action with the Field Build Sequence: six executable steps to production. You'll walk through creating a source registry, automating signed ingestion, deploying retrieval contracts that return evidence, implementing continuous validation, integrating an immutable Trust Ledger, and activating drift auto-repair. This is your step-by-step construction guide.
