Modules: Core and optional
What Core always includes, what each optional module adds, and how the app keeps working when a module is absent or disabled.
All agency users · Agency App Admin
/pdcc/admin/modulesThe Agency App is modular. Core is always present; optional modules add native workflows on top of it. Every module requires only Core, so any combination works — and a missing module removes a native workflow, never the underlying business need.
| Module | What it adds | Where it appears |
|---|---|---|
| Core | Identity, evidence, human tasks, configured approvals, external work intake, standard views and audit. | My Day, My Work, Requirements, Reference, Administration |
| Market Research | Manual research, evidence, assessment and report review (MR01–MR21). | Acquisitions › Market Research |
| Acquisition Planning | Plan, SOW, IGCE and external research intake. | Acquisitions › Acquisition Actions |
| Contract Execution & Closeout | Execution evidence, deliverables, milestones, funding, invoices, packages, closeout. | Acquisitions › Contracts & Orders |
| Sigma Companion | Approved assistance on authorized Core evidence — shown as Scout. | Docked companion on every page |
| Studio | Compose approved components over Core data. | Studio |
| Agentic Operations | Explicitly approved, bounded actions over Core work. | My Work › My Automations; Administration › Automations |
| Enterprise Integrations | Additional connectors and contract-writing sources. | Administration › Connections |
Four independent gates
A module is usable only when all of these are true, and each is managed separately:
- Commercial entitlement — purchased for the agency (set in the PEEK Administration Center).
- Agency enablement — activated by the Agency App Admin after readiness checks.
- Your permissions — your roles and scopes include the capability.
- Policy and runtime — agency policy allows it and the service is available (e.g. SI is not paused).
When a module is absent
- No Market Research? Register an external research package through Core intake and accept it into planning (linked work).
- No Acquisition Planning? Requirements and external work still flow through Core.
- No Sigma? Scout is hidden; every workflow has a manual path (e.g. manual assessment in research).
- No Studio? Standard Core pages remain fully usable.
- No Agentic Operations? Deterministic Core reminders and manual tasks keep their baseline behavior.
When a module becomes available
Users see a New capabilities available notice. Adoption is optional: you can start new work, supplement existing work, or keep your current workflow. Activation never grants records, migrates existing work, changes accepted baselines or replays notifications.

Module settings and readiness
Inspect the independent gates for each module and activate only delegated agency configuration; pilot and release slices (M07).
Linked work, external packages and handoffs
Register external research or planning packages, accept handoffs, review changed inputs and resolve link conflicts (M01–M14).
