Multi-site by design
Chichén Itzá is Site 001, not the limit of the program
Shared systems create efficiency. Local configuration preserves cultural and institutional accountability.
Shared standards
Reusable data contracts, workflows, permissions, reports, and deployment patterns.
Local configuration
Each site defines its own authorities, evidence, languages, spatial zones, and cultural protocols.
Cross-site learning
Validated patterns transfer with provenance and local revalidation preserved.
Reciprocal improvement
Field results improve the product; product capabilities return to research and teaching.
