fix: correct status from Production Ready to Concept/RFC

NSS v3.1.1 is a conceptual standard that has not been independently
tested, audited, or verified. Updated README badges, compliance table,
overview text, and white paper metadata to accurately reflect this.
All compliance ratings now marked as self-assessed design targets.

 ## Overview
 
-NSS (Nexus Sovereign Standard) provides a **6-layer defensive architecture** with **Guardian Shield** for enterprise AI deployments. Built on **Mistral AI** models with local **Ollama** inference, NSS ensures zero Cloud Act exposure and full EU data sovereignty.
+NSS (Nexus Sovereign Standard) proposes a **6-layer defensive architecture** with **Guardian Shield** for enterprise AI deployments. It is designed around **Mistral AI** models with local **Ollama** inference, targeting zero Cloud Act exposure and full EU data sovereignty.
 
-NSS is designed from the ground up to meet the strictest European regulatory requirements, including GDPR and the EU AI Act. Every component operates within EU borders, with no data leaving the sovereign perimeter. The architecture enforces privacy-by-design principles at every layer, from knowledge storage through cognitive processing to governance oversight.
