This requirement sets an enforceable architectural standard: no critical PCC component may be placed beyond the reach of constraint or analysis, which underpins the verifiability of the system's guarantees.
Interpretive note: The clause uses 'must be possible,' which is a design or policy requirement rather than a verified technical fact. The scope of 'critically contribute' is not defined in the excerpt, leaving ambiguity about which components fall within this mandate.
Apple Intelligence's design mandate means that the components responsible for PCC's privacy and security guarantees must remain subject to constraint and analysis, not operate as black boxes.
