Specification by example (SBE) is a collaborative approach to defining requirements and business-oriented functional tests for software products based on capturing and illustrating requirements using realistic examples instead of abstract statements. It is applied in the context of agile software development methods, in particular behavior-driven development. This approach is particularly successful for managing requirements and functional tests on large-scale projects of significant domain and organisational complexity.[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behavior-driven_development)
A key aspect of 'specification by example' is creating a single source of truth about required changes from all perspectives. This latest version specification with this document title is the single source of truth.
Objective
The aim of the specification is to produce a the minimum compliant capable consent receipt that directly links all required policies (open notices) to the consent receipt.

Extension Example: Third Party Sharing Extension V.1
This incorporates 3rd party sharing and purpose listing format
The first extension for the minimum viable consent receipt is that of linking to the consent receipt of list of third parties personal data is shared with. In some jurisdictions it is only required that the categories of personal data be provided.
If in the MVCR the "Third Party Sharing" flag is true, this is an extension they can use to make the receipt show this level of compliance.

Trusted Services
Trusted services/networks and frameworks, can be used to meet or exceed notice(and therefore consent) legal requirements. Or to address the need for assurance and trust for people so that consent and its management can be automated and more usable.

Legal: Compliance Audit & Scale
MVCR Compliance Audit
Each field on the MVCR contains legal notice requirements, each of these components are listed in and the presence of these are counted and a flag is added to record if any of these self asserted claims have been disputed and not resolved.
The MVCR has a maximum rating of compliant. Additional Ratings are possible with extensions.

MVCR Compliance Scale
The compliance scale is the social aspect of the MVCR Specification. The scale provides a simple icon for a universal measure of MVCR compliance.
Summary of Benefits to MVCR
- Transparency: The MVCR receipt is a common format for the legally required policies which provide notice. links to all notices and demonstrate a much higher level of minimum viable notice (for consent) legal compliance. This standard is intended to augment the existing legal notice and consent infrastructures that is already in place and reward greater transparency of consent. .
- Extensible: The MVCR Spec is intended to be easily extensible and auditable, with a jurisdicitional legal compliance audit built in for making transparent legal context and controls of a consent transaction. Meaning that consent legal notice requirements are different by jurisdictions, industry, for various sensitive data types, for sharing to 3rd parties, tracking (cookie consents), in additional to personal and contextual consent preferences of the individual. Extensions are notice requirements layered onto this MVCR format to meet and match legal requirements and trust frameworks to address cross jurisdictional management of consent.
- Trusted Services Vehicle: A receipt passed to the service user at time of consent provides a legal trust framework to build upon. As a result it is the MVCR is intended as a vehicle for delivering trusted services to the individual. A stakeholder can utilise trust services, which are then linked to the receipt, which further extend the compliance and "fast track" usability of consent and identity management by using a spec compliant receipt. Eg.privacy icons, TOS reputation, certifications, trusted networks, and protocols
- MVC is intended to be an all purpose consent process enhancement.
- This MVCR specification is intended to be used so any organisation can implement the spec and provide a MVCR.
