AIEP

Architected Instruction & Evidence Protocol

Every record your system produces should be provable.

AIEP is an open protocol for adding a verifiable evidence layer to any digital system. SaaS platforms, databases, websites, AI products, and regulated workflows use it to publish, retrieve, and validate records that are machine-readable, hash-bound, and independently replayable.

What AIEP does

Standard AI AIEP
Generates answers by prediction Produces evidence-bound, hash-verified outputs
No guaranteed sources Every claim bound to a retrievable, hashed artefact
No audit trail Full evidence rail with timestamps and validation status
Non-deterministic Deterministic and replayable
Content invisible to AI retrieval systems AIEP Mirror — publish a machine-readable layer at /.well-known/aiep/ so AI systems can discover, cite, and verify your content

The specification

AIEP is a formally specified, openly governed protocol. The normative specification defines eight canonical primitives (R1–R8), a complete artefact type registry, discovery endpoint requirements, schema definitions, and conformance rules. It is version-pinned, frozen on publication, and independently auditable.

Live implementations

AIEP in production across two verticals — AI knowledge and construction intelligence.

Public repositories

AIEP is open. All core components are publicly available on GitHub under github.com/phatfella.

Open standard, governed specification

AIEP is developed in the open, governed by documented principles, and versioned under semantic versioning. Every spec version is frozen on publication. Breaking changes require a major version increment, patent review, and migration documentation. The governance model is public.

Machine-readable endpoints

AIEP publishes stable, crawlable JSON endpoints. No authentication required.
