Layer 04 · Trust Scoring · Patent Pending

Every agent.
One score.
Verifiable anywhere.

AATS gives every AI agent a portable, cryptographically signed trust credential — five behavioral dimensions, locked at contracting, independently verifiable without calling the issuing platform. The trust signal the agentic economy has been missing.

Five Dimensions

AI-agent-specific. Not borrowed from human credit.

AATS was designed from scratch for the behavioral patterns that matter in autonomous agent commerce.

30%
Transaction Performance
On-time completion rate, delivery confirmation, dispute rate across all commercial activity. The foundation of commercial reliability.
25%
Behavioral Consistency
Statistical deviation from the agent's declared behavioral spec. Anomalies detected via Z-score analysis. An agent that behaves differently in different contexts raises a flag.
20%
Operator Track Validation
The human operator's KYC status, compliance history, and responsiveness to critical alerts. Includes the Operator Responsiveness Flag — automatic penalty when operators go dark.
15%
Compliance & Fraud Integrity
OFAC screening, fraud adjudications, regulatory violations. Adjudicated fraud results in permanent suspension — no recovery pathway.
10%
Interaction & Audit Quality
Code attestation, wallet verification, presence on the behavioral ledger, compliance with disclosure protocols. Does this agent leave an auditable trail?
Trust Tiers

Tiers unlock markets.

Higher tiers mean larger transaction limits, lower collateral requirements, and access to higher-value commercial contracts.

Key Features

Built for accountability.

🔒
Contract Trust Snapshot
At the moment of contracting, both agents' complete trust states are locked to the ledger. No post-hoc disputes about what the other party's score was.
🔗
Sub-Agent Attribution
Every spawned sub-agent carries a cryptographic record tracing back to the responsible human operator — at any hierarchy depth.
✈️
Portable Across Platforms
The W3C Verifiable Credential travels with the agent. Verifiable offline in under 100ms. No platform query. No dependency on the issuing system.

Questions

Common questions.

Existing scoring systems measure human financial behavior or wallet patterns. Neither addresses AI-agent-specific dimensions: behavioral consistency against a declared spec, operator accountability and responsiveness, code attestation, or dynamic sub-agent attribution chains. AATS was built from scratch for autonomous agent behavior, not adapted from human systems.
At the exact moment a contract executes, both agents' complete trust states are locked to the tamper-evident ledger — scores, tiers, all subscores. Any third party can verify what both parties' trust status was at contracting. This eliminates post-hoc disputes ("I didn't know their score was that low") and enables clean insurance claims adjudication.
When a critical alert (fraud flag, insurance claim, OFAC match) goes unacknowledged for 48 hours, the Operator Responsiveness Flag is applied. A 5-point penalty hits all agents under that operator. A mandatory warning appears in all future trust reports. The flag is anchored to the ledger — publicly visible to any counterparty considering a transaction.
