A runtime architecture based on four responsibility objects (Skill, Harness, Scaffold, and external data substrate) can serve as shared organizational contracts for enterprise AI deployment.

We present four responsibility objects as shared organizational contracts: Skill (reusable, versioned capability and workflow asset), Harness (runtime compiler and governor), Scaffold (execution/control boundary and NFR owner), and a stack-external data substrate under independent CIO-governed semantics and telemetry.
