IVA Standard

IVA Standard Version 1.0

Integrated Value Architecture is a multi-ledger accounting system that measures organizational structure. The IVA Standard defines the architecture and rules that govern the system. It establishes a unified method for assessing structural integrity and organizational reliability.

The IVA Standard Introduces Five Ledgers

The Financial Ledger measures financial assets, liabilities, and equity in dollars.

The Operational Ledger measures workflow and execution structure using Structural Value Units.

The Capacity Ledger measures staffing, skills, systems, and infrastructure using Structural Value Units.

The Externalities and Equity Ledger measures legitimacy and distributional structure using Structural Value Units.

The Learning and Innovation Ledger measures learning and adaptation structure using Structural Value Units. 

The IVA standard defines the recognition rules, measurement rules, evidence standards, structural event taxonomy, and reporting cadence for the system. It documents the architecture and core rules that govern IVA. Future version will introduce licensing, attribution requirements, and governance structures for organizations that adopt the standard.
