+## Quality Standards for Government & Public Sector
+
+**LandveX serves municipalities, government agencies, and public infrastructure owners. The Intelligence Lab must be built to standards that satisfy public sector procurement, audit, and compliance requirements.**
+
+### Code Quality
+
+| Requirement | Standard | Rationale |
+|-------------|----------|-----------|
+| **Type Safety** | Strict TypeScript or Rust | Eliminates entire classes of runtime errors |
+| **Test Coverage** | ≥80% unit, ≥90% critical paths | Public sector demands verifiable quality |
+| **Static Analysis** | ESLint + SonarQube + Snyk | Catch issues before deployment |
+| **Code Review** | All changes require 2 approvals | No unreviewed code in production |
+| **Documentation** | Every public API documented | Procurement requires documentation |
+
+### Security
+
+| Requirement | Standard | Rationale |
+|-------------|----------|-----------|
+| **Authentication** | OAuth 2.0 + MFA | Government security requirements |
+| **Authorization** | RBAC with audit logging | Who did what, when |
+| **Encryption** | AES-256 at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit | Data protection regulations |
+| **Secrets Management** | HashiCorp Vault or AWS Secrets Manager | No secrets in code |
+| **Vulnerability Scanning** | Weekly automated scans | Continuous security |
+
+### Audit & Compliance
+
+| Requirement | Standard | Rationale |
+|-------------|----------|-----------|
+| **Immutable Audit Log** | Append-only, signed logs | Tamper-evident history |
+| **Data Retention** | Configurable per jurisdiction | GDPR, local laws |
+| **Export Capability** | Full data export in standard formats | Freedom of information requests |
+| **Accessibility** | WCAG 2.1 AA | Public sector requirement |
+| **Localization** | Swedish + English | Government customers |
+
+### Infrastructure
+
+| Requirement | Standard | Rationale |
+|-------------|----------|-----------|
+| **Deployment** | GitOps (ArgoCD/Flux) | Reproducible, auditable deployments |
+| **Observability** | OpenTelemetry + structured logging | Debug production issues |
+| **Backup** | 3-2-1 rule, tested restores | Business continuity |
+| **Disaster Recovery** | RPO < 1h, RTO < 4h | Critical infrastructure |
+| **Scalability** | Horizontal scaling, stateless services | Handle peak loads |
+
+### AI/ML Specific
+
+| Requirement | Standard | Rationale |
+|-------------|----------|-----------|
+| **Model Versioning** | MLflow or similar | Track every model version |
+| **Data Lineage** | Full provenance for all datasets | Explain model decisions |
+| **Bias Testing** | Automated fairness metrics | Prevent discriminatory outcomes |
+| **Explainability** | SHAP or LIME for all predictions | Right to explanation |
+| **Model Cards** | Documented for every model | Transparency |
+
+### Development Practices
+
+| Requirement | Standard | Rationale |
+|-------------|----------|-----------|
+| **Git Workflow** | Trunk-based or GitFlow | Clear, auditable history |
+| **CI/CD** | Automated testing, staging, production | No manual deployments |
+| **Infrastructure as Code** | Terraform or Pulumi | Version-controlled infrastructure |
+| **Dependency Management** | Renovate or Dependabot | Keep dependencies updated |
+| **Incident Response** | Documented runbooks | Handle outages systematically |
