When Municipal Managers retire. When MECs are redeployed. When elections change Council composition. When commitments made in one IGR Forum must survive into the next.
ContinuityChain preserves the record of stewardship across electoral cycles, reorganisations, and personnel turnover.
A municipality does not lose its water services mandate when a Municipal Manager retires. An IGR Forum does not lose its commitments when a Council is reconstituted. ContinuityChain records the line of stewardship so the institution survives the people.
Every event you record is appended to a record that cannot be edited or deleted. Corrections are new entries. Resolutions, delegations, audit findings — preserved exactly as they were witnessed.
When responsibility passes to a successor — Acting, permanent, or political — the record hands them not assertions but a verifiable history they can rely on without having to ask anyone’s permission.
A municipality. A District IGR Forum. A provincial department. A statutory mandate. Any institution whose continuity must survive the people entrusted with it.
The seat of stewardship is the office — Municipal Manager, Section 56 Director, MEC, HOD. The person who holds it for now is recorded together with the office, never confused with it.
Council resolutions. IGR Forum minutes. Delegations of authority. Audit findings. Successions and acting appointments. Each is appended to the institution’s permanent record.
These artifacts exist for readers who want to understand the protocol that sits underneath the application. You do not need to read them to use Continuity Chain.
