Open Standard / v0.2 / MIT License

Disclose is the open standard for verified operational data in the agent layer.

Return rates, fulfillment performance, delivery reliability — structured, verified, and discoverable by AI agents.

01 / Architecture

No owner. No lock-in.

No single company decides what gets measured. The spec is MIT-licensed, governed openly, and designed to sit below any platform — not inside one. Any merchant, any agent, any stack.

02 / Discovery

One file. Any agent.

Merchants publish a /.well-known/disclose.json on their domain — the same convention as robots.txt, but for AI agents. No registry. No platform dependency. Any agent that knows the convention can find it.

03 / Attestation

Named Signatories. Staked reputations.

Every signal carries an attestation level: Signatory-attested, computed from a platform API, or merchant-reported. Agents know which is which and weight accordingly.

Premise

When an agent helps someone buy something, it reads the marketing layer. Price. Reviews. Availability. Not the operational layer.

Disclose is the schema for the operational layer. No scores. No badges.

Starting with commerce. Built to go further.

Governance

Disclose is MIT-licensed. The spec is designed to be owned by no single company — not by a platform, not by a Signatory, and not by its founder.

Independent governance is in formation. The working group is the first step.

Working Group

The spec exists. The working group is open.

We need merchants with clean data, Signatories who already hold the signals the schema defines, and infrastructure builders who will find the gaps before they become problems.

Read the spec. Stress-test it against your data. Tell us where it breaks.
