Manish Srivastava proposes a minimal digital kernel that provides the essential shared capabilities for an unbundled state to function as a rule‑of‑law machine. The kernel focuses on legibility, reproducibility, and enforceability, allowing other applications, intermediaries, and fulfillment channels to remain plural. By isolating these core functions, governments can achieve greater flexibility, faster innovation, and reduced reliance on legacy IT. The approach also reduces procurement costs by reusing common services across agencies.
