# Commercial Platform Foundation Report

**Phase:** `commercial-foundation`  
**Date:** 2026-07-28  
**Type:** Architecture + Contracts + Admin Integration (docs only)  
**ADR:** [ADR-023](architecture/adr/ADR-023.md)

---

## Architecture Summary

Platform commercial layer owned by **Core Platform**:

- **Business Bundles** package services/modules/features with visibility & lifecycle — not frontend-only, not Payment-only.
- **Pricing Catalog** is independent; bundles only hold pricing references.
- **Subscriptions / Licenses / Entitlements** form the commercial grant chain.
- **Business Types** + **rule-based recommendations** suggest packages without activation.
- **Activation pipeline** is event-contracted end-to-end.
- Service L2 packs (Payment, Experience, verticals) remain service-owned and are referenced, never absorbed.
