Infrastructure for Trustworthy AI
What we need: AI that keeps its promises
The Information Tsunami
THE INSIGHT
What if we could audit expectations and verify outcomes?
Before: Justify The Claim
Use structured reasoning to show why a claim is valid. Decompose it. Show evidence. Make assumptions auditable.
→ Abductio
After: Prove The Outcome
Independent assessors verify whether the promise was fulfilled. They stake their own reputation. Promise-keepers earn trust. Promise-breakers lose it.
→ Sponsio
This isn't a reputation system.
This isn't a review platform.
This is a trust protocol—infrastructure for making promises verifiable and verification economically rational.
II. WHAT THIS ENABLES
A
Business Evaluation
A startup claims they'll reduce customer acquisition cost by 20% in 6 months.
Abductio shows which assumptions their claims are based on, and whether there are weak links that may lead to failure.
Sponsio tracks the actual outcomes and updates merit scores based on the result.
→ Investors know who's credible. Capital flows to honest builders.
B
Expert Services
A security firm promises to conduct a security audit on an app within one week.
Abductio enables the firm to spot weak links within minutes, enabling the firm to prioritize bottlenecks.
Sponsio makes each of the results deliverable as a promise, from the total duration of the security audit to the future security of the system.
→ Clients choose based on verified outcomes, not marketing.
C
AI Accountability
An AI system promises: "I will flag ≥95% of policy violations with ≤5% false positives."
Abductio documents the evaluation methodology, test sets, and confidence bounds.
Sponsio tracks real-world performance and downgrades the AI's merit if it fails.
→ AI agents earn trust through verified capability, not just demos.
Same protocol. Any domain. Verifiable trust.

III. THE MOVEMENT
Trust is infrastructure,
not a product
PROMISE is a platform cooperative—owned by the contributors who build it, the experts who assess on it, the providers who pledge on it, and the communities who rely on it.
Open Protocol
Anyone can build on it. No gatekeepers.
Shared Ownership
Contributors earn equity through verified work.
Mission First
No exit pressure. Build for the long term.
