4️⃣ BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS
- Enforce authenticated, authorized channels for every Label and exchange type (inbound/outbound).
- Segregate all data, processing, storage, and audit records per Label; no cross-Label access or delivery.
- Validate each exchange against agreed structure, format, and business rules before transfer or processing.
- Support both outbound deliveries and inbound intake, including transformation to/from agreed formats for each Label.
- Log every exchange with status, timestamps, Label, flow type, and validation outcome for auditability.
- Handle errors with clear outcomes: retry when allowed, block on policy/validation violations, and record failures without duplication.
- Allow configurable triggers per Label (schedule or event) while applying the same validation and audit controls.
- Maintain evidence of regulatory and contractual compliance for all exchanges under the responsible Label.
