Aurora Workflow Orchestration (AWO)

Aurora Workflow Orchestration (AWO) is a reproducible research methodology that formalizes scientific workflows into explicit, auditable phases governed by artifact-first documentation, role separation, and provable provenance. AWO v2.0.0 defines the structural and procedural requirements for initiating, contributing to, reviewing, approving, and auditing research in a way that remains deterministic, replayable, and institution-agnostic. While not an enforcement engine itself, AWO provides the canonical governance layer that downstream tooling (e.g., CRI-CORE) can validate against for compliance.
