# Common Assumptions

As different countries have different social protection systems at different stages of development, it is important to be aware of the assumptions that have been made.

Structurally, a distinction has been made between [#common-assumptions](#common-assumptions "mention") and [#sp-mis-specific-assumptions](#sp-mis-specific-assumptions "mention").

### Common Assumptions

<table><thead><tr><th width="206">Assumption Label</th><th>Assumption Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>ASM.COM.01</strong> </td><td>All described systems are fully functional and operational within the specified context.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>ASM.COM.02</strong> </td><td>A <a data-mention href="/standards/dci/terminology.md#unique-id-number-uin">Terminology</a>system is in place and established for all respective systems.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>ASM.COM.03</strong></td><td>All systems maintain data quality through robust data validation and verification mechanisms, including data cleansing, error detection and correction, and consistent data entry and storage practices.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>ASM.COM.04</strong></td><td>The legal requirements are established to enable the sharing of data between the different systems involved.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>ASM.COM.05</strong></td><td>Adequate data security measures are in place to safeguard the privacy and confidentiality of individual records shared between the systems.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>ASM.COM.06</strong> </td><td>Data-sharing protocols and mechanisms are established between all considered systems to facilitate a seamless exchange of information.</td></tr></tbody></table>

### SP-MIS-specific Assumptions

<table><thead><tr><th width="206">Assumption Label</th><th>Assumption Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>ASM.SP-MIS.01</strong> </td><td>The eligibility decision lies with the SP-MIS, based on the information received from the respective system and the respective laws or policies in place. </td></tr></tbody></table>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://standards.spdci.org/standards/standards-for-interoperability-interfaces/common-assumptions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
