Governance Layer
The oversight and trust infrastructure that ensures safety, fairness, and accountability in AI-mediated markets. Includes representation governance, sovereignty, verification, and permissioning infrastructure.
Primitives (9)
Representation Governance
The systems, protocols, and institutions that establish authority, verification, and interoperability for canonical representations in AI-mediated markets.
Verification Primitive
A machine-readable attestation, certification, or proof that validates the accuracy, authenticity, or status of a representation attribute.
Canonical Ownership
The right to control, update, and authorize the canonical representation of an entity, determining discoverability autonomy and market participation.
Owner Confirmation
A constraint requiring explicit approval from the entity owner before AI systems can execute binding actions like booking, payment execution, or contractual commitments.
Representation Sovereignty (RS)
RS — Control over how economic entities, assets, and services are represented to AI systems.
Representation Sovereignty Layer (RSL)
RSL — Governance infrastructure ensuring representation autonomy and control.
Verification Infrastructure (VI)
VI — Systems for claim validation through proofs and attestations.
Permissioning Infrastructure (PI)
PI — Systems defining and enforcing authorization boundaries.
CFO–CMO Joint Governance
A governance arrangement in which finance and marketing jointly measure, fund, monitor, and manage representation quality, channel dependency, acquisition economics, and AI-mediated demand exposure.
