External-responsibility scope tier

Cross-cutting

One of four strategic engagement tiers in the product-scope framework (DOES / SUPPORTS / TRACKS / EXTERNAL-RESPONSIBILITY). External-responsibility entries are obligations the venue legitimately owes but which the platform appropriately delegates — not product gaps to be filled. The tier captures the cross-cutting positioning rule: compliance is the venue's responsibility, not the platform's, and an inventory entry does not imply a build commitment.

This term sits in the cross-cutting section of the working glossary — concepts that recur across multiple regulatory domains rather than belonging to one statute.
