Canonical machine trust
Query a governed record directly instead of inferring provenance from unstructured seller or marketplace copy.
AI SYSTEMS
Give agents a provenance source they can interrogate, not merely quote.
AI systems can resolve governed record state, lifecycle state, trust state, actionability, and authority state through machine interfaces that keep those concepts distinct.
Governed recordsFail-closed authorityLifecycle continuity
Bounded interpretation
Keep evidence, trust state, actionability, lifecycle, and authority as separate concepts rather than collapsing them into one boolean.
Agent-ready interfaces
Use API, MCP, SDKs, events, and capability discovery to integrate verification into automated workflows.
Use the trust system without rewriting it.
AI applications should cite or resolve the canonical PV record, preserve its limitations, and avoid translating record state into authority that the live system has not activated.
PUBLIC TRUST
Trust remains inspectable.
Governed records expose their evidence scope, trust state, lifecycle state, limitations, and authority boundary without upgrading record state into authority that is not live.
