ICCE model and system
System Architecture
ICCE is an infrastructure operating system for controlled employment, payroll, payments, reporting and evidence. Its architecture separates the operations that perform control, the system areas that own responsibility and the stakeholder-facing capabilities produced by their combined operation.
Architecture map
Three connected views of one operating system.
The layers are explanatory boundaries, not isolated products. Mechanics perform controlled operations. Components apply those operations within defined areas of responsibility. Cubes expose the resulting capabilities in forms that stakeholders can use.
Architectural purpose
Each layer answers a different operating question.
The distinction prevents low-level functions, operational responsibility and stakeholder outcomes from being described as though they were the same thing.
ICCE System MechanicsHow is a controlled operation performed?
System Mechanics are the reusable programmatic operations through which information is received, validated, processed, calculated, transferred, reconciled and preserved. They replace informal coordination and retrospective correction with consistent and attributable system behaviour.
View layerICCE System ComponentsWhere is responsibility applied?
System Components are separated operating environments responsible for defined areas of control. Each component applies relevant Mechanics, owns a clear operational role and passes reliable outputs to the next relevant area of the platform.
View layerICCE CubesWhat usable capability does the system provide?
ICCE Cubes are stakeholder-facing capabilities created through the combined operation of multiple Components. They translate the infrastructure into recognisable outcomes such as controlled participation, integrated payroll, trusted payments and transaction intelligence.
View layerConnected control path
Activity becomes evidence as it moves through the system.
ICCE is designed so that each relevant action produces a structured result for the next stage while retaining attribution to the source, rule application and resulting outcome.
Authorised activity
A verified participant submits or confirms information.
System Mechanics
Relevant validation, processing or calculation rules are applied.
System Component
The responsible operating environment owns the resulting state and action.
Connected output
A structured result is passed to the next permitted part of the system.
Cube and evidence
The outcome becomes visible through a stakeholder-facing capability and retained record.
One connected system
Separate responsibilities. Shared transaction truth.
The three-layer hierarchy is a way of explaining ICCE at different levels, not a division of the platform into disconnected system areas. Mechanics govern how activity is processed. Components govern where responsibility sits. Cubes make the combined system useful and legible to stakeholders. All three remain connected to the same underlying activity and evidence record.
