Public companies, companies limited by guarantee, unlimited companies, corporate directors/secretaries, multiple share classes, multiple subscribers, multiple PSCs, and 'other registrable persons'/'relevant legal entities' are out of scope of this document; see VERIFICATION.md.

This is the first GovSchema company-formation schema in any jurisdiction, closing a gap the discovery README had flagged since GOV-36 (four other company-formation candidates exist across US-CA, IE, and CA-ON but none had been authored). Scope was deliberately narrowed to the single-director/single-subscriber/single-PSC private-limited-by-shares case: v0.2 has no repeating-group or array field model (SPEC.md §6.1; composite/repeating values are tracked separately as GSP-0009), so the form's inherently repeatable sections (additional directors, additional subscribers, additional PSCs, multiple share classes/currencies) cannot be represented structurally and are out of scope rather than force-fit. Corporate directors/secretaries (Sections C, E), companies limited by guarantee (Section G), 'relevant legal entity' and 'other registrable person' PSCs (Sections J, K), and public/unlimited company types are likewise out of scope.
