CDFI Framework v1.3

CDCF Compliance Documentation — Pressure-Tested Against Published Criteria

This release completes the governance documentation layer for CDCF project
submission. All eight CDCF Project Vetting Criteria (v0.2, April 29, 2026)
are addressed with full canonical citations, case studies, and exact
requirement mapping.

What changed from v1.2

24 deficiencies in the first-pass compliance documents. All 24 are closed
in this release.
