Card Programme

Note (dated 2026-08-04): a chain composes independent computations performed in an analytical order. No step's output is carried into the next step by the execution model; each step computes from its own declared inputs. This is true of every chain on this site, including chains whose per-step copy below reads as a data handoff.
Reading mode (READINESS-BUILD): These checks can be gathered in any order; the sequence below is for convenience. Launch readiness, interchange qualification, PCI-DSS scope, 3DS/EMV compliance, and scheme-fee benchmarking each grade a separate dimension and are combined into one launch scorecard.

Launch readiness > interchange qualification > PCI-DSS scope > 3DS/EMV compliance > scheme fee benchmarking.
