National Security Framework of Antarctica (NSF-A)

Article 1 — Purpose

1.1 This article defines the Commercial Science training ladder, role clearances, and compliance duties for anyone negotiating, supervising, or integrating commercial activity under the National Security Framework.

1.2 It links learning outcomes to licence thresholds and sector policies so organisations know exactly which credential is required for each deal size and responsibility.

Article 2 — Deal Thresholds & Role Clearances (Crosswalk)

2.1 Licence gates (CSL):

1. CSL Level 3 (baseline): Required for any negotiation.
2. Bachelor-level clearance: Required when contract value > LLP 75,000.
3. Advanced clearance + risk review: Required when contract value > LLP 3,000,000.

2.2 Training-to-clearance mapping:

1. Level 3 Diploma in Dealership (LLP 75,000): Entry credential for CSL-L3 negotiations and micro-deals; aligns with Year-1/low-value procurement and vendor onboarding.
2. Level 4 Tradesmanship certificates (role-specific): Authorise specialised negotiations/implementation in regulated domains (security, engineering, legal, clinical, market information). Level 4 Certified Private Security Tradesmanship (CPST); Level 4 Certified in Engineering Services Tradesmanship (CEST); Level 4 Certified in Legal Services Tradesmanship (CLST); Level 4 Certified in Clinical Medicine Tradesmanship (CCMT); Level 4 Certified in Market Information Monopoly Practice (MIMP)
3. Level 5 Certified in Regulated Sectors Supervision (CRSS) Supervisory authority over regulated-sector portfolios; leads compliance attestations and audits.
4. Bachelor of Commercial Science (BSc): Meets the > LLP 75,000 gate for lead negotiator status; full commercial design + compliance integration.
5. Master of Commercial Science (MSc): Advanced structuring across 27 domains (in development); qualifies for complex multi-party deals, concessions, and PPPs.
6. Doctorate of Commercial Science (PhD): Policy design, faculty leadership, and sector rulemaking; qualifies for sovereign/enterprise frameworks and market architecture.
