RESEARCH FRAMEWORK

From research questions to standards initiatives

A shared framework for identity, transactions and accountability

Research questions

Identify who authorizes an agent, the scope of its authority and how transaction evidence is recorded.

Develop methods

Organize identity links, payment checks and assessment methods into research frameworks for discussion.

Open discussion

Refine frameworks through professional input and application contexts, and propose standards recommendations.

Identity

Who acts, and on whose behalf?

Authority

Where does authority start and end?

Transactions

How are decisions and actions recorded?

Accountability

How can evidence be challenged and reviewed?

RESEARCH ORGANIZATION

Connect disciplines through the Research Institute

Bring compliance, legal, technical and academic questions into a shared framework for the AI Agent economy.

Start with practical questions, define subjects, evidence requirements and conditions, then refine methods through professional exchange and contextual feedback before proposing standards.

STANDARDS WORKING GROUPS

Bring contextual feedback into method revisions

Contribute research questions, evidence, boundaries and proposals.

Receipts and evidence

RAP decision records, sources, timestamps and independent verification.

Scoring and responsibility

Specialization, ecosystem performance, adoption and review of assessment evidence.

Applications and boundaries

Practice-based feedback on applicability and disclosure of relevant interests.

Question and relevant provision: The rule, method or record structure involved and where the issue arises.
Application context: The parties, authorization, workflow and jurisdictional context.
Supporting evidence: Material that helps verify facts or understand the method, avoiding unnecessary sensitive information.
Recommendation and interests: The proposed improvement, its scope and relevant interests in implementations.
