+## Topic-oriented primary protocol
+
+One of the highest-level Version 2 requirements is:
+
+> **The protocol is primarily a topic-oriented reconstruction of the meeting, not a category-oriented listing of extracted information.**
+
+Semantic categories remain metadata and supporting structure within topics;
+they must not dictate the main document structure. The conceptual target flow
+is `Transcript -> Evidence Extraction -> Topic Reconstruction -> Semantic
+Synthesis -> Protocol Rendering`. The primary renderer should eventually
+receive topic-oriented semantic knowledge. Category-oriented Action Item,
+Decision, Open Question and management views remain useful derived outputs.
+
+The detailed rationale, example, architectural implications and explicit
+deferral of a final Topic Reconstruction schema are documented in
+[`design/evidence_commitment_model.md`](design/evidence_commitment_model.md#thematic-protocol-as-the-primary-structure).
+
 Implementation is intentionally postponed until this architecture has been
 reviewed. No Version 2 goal in this section changes current extraction,
 canonicalization, consolidation or rendering behavior.
