IMME
Governance
Clear rules for the use of the Immercial Method™, IMME templates, IMME Platform, IMME AI and related commercial workflows.
Immercial’s governance framework is designed to protect consistency, version control, professional responsibility, template integrity and appropriate use of AI-supported commercial guidance.
Version Governance
Immercial maintains strict version control of all IMME templates, benchmarks and definitions.
Users must always download the latest version directly from the Immercial website and avoid storing or circulating outdated copies.
This ensures that all QSs worldwide are aligned and working to the same standard.
Brand & Identity Governance
All IMME documents contain essential identifiers:
-
Template ID
-
Version number
-
Watermark
-
Footer licence text
-
Immercial Method™ branding
These elements must remain fully visible and unchanged.
This preserves authenticity and ensures immediate recognisability.
Process Governance
The IMME workflow sequence must be followed in the correct commercial lifecycle order.
Skipping stages or reordering the process undermines clarity and creates commercial risk.
The sequence exists to ensure full coverage and transparent traceability from enquiry to CVR.
Content Governance
Users may adapt IMME templates internally, but they must not:
-
redefine IMME assumptions
-
change IMME terminology
-
rewrite core definitions
-
alter commercial logic
Modifications must never be presented as official IMME standards.
This protects the integrity of the Method across organisations.
Access Governance
IMME IP must only be accessed from the official Immercial website.
No external hosting, re-uploads or third-party distributions are permitted.
This ensures all users operate from a single, reliable source of truth.
Use Governance
The IMME Licence allows:
✔ free internal use
✔ internal adaptations
✔ internal training
But prohibits:
✘ resale
✘ redistribution
✘ public posting
✘ platform embedding
✘ republishing on external sites
This balance ensures global access without loss of control.
AI Governance - IMME AI
IMME IP must never be used to train external or general-purpose AI systems.
Only the official IMME AI is authorised to:
-
ingest IMME templates
-
use IMME benchmarks
-
apply IMME rates
-
generate IMME-aligned outputs
This protects correctness, safety and long-term data integrity.
Feedback Governance
The Method evolves through community intelligence.
Users are encouraged to:
-
submit suggestions
-
highlight gaps
-
vote on improvements
-
request additions
Immercial reviews all feedback to ensure updates strengthen the global standard.
Communication Governance
Immercial provides:
-
version release notes
-
change logs
-
update announcements
-
methodology improvements
Users should remain aligned by following official communications and migrating to new versions promptly.
Compliance Checks
Immercial may request confirmation of proper implementation to preserve global consistency.
These checks are supportive, lightweight and typically involve:
-
confirming version numbers
-
verifying correct template use
-
reviewing examples for alignment
This keeps the Method clear, consistent and trusted worldwide.
