Inheritance & entitlement
Deeper than Retail. Never a duplicate of Retail.
The parent Retail Industry Pack and this exact Fashion & Apparel Specialization Pack must both be ACTIVE or TRIAL. Owning a sibling specialization never substitutes for this one.

Fixed boundaries
What this specialization will not do.
- advisory and preparatory only
- no autonomous approval
- no autonomous business execution
- no silent entitlement activation
- no capability invention
- no parent-capability redefinition
Mission composition
The smallest relevant specialist subset—not the full team by default.
- The specialization coordinator is required for an assembled specialist team.
- Only specialists whose registered capabilities match the confirmed mission are selected.
- Cross-industry Role Packs may join only when separately entitled and relevant.
- Human approval remains required before mission activation.
