Agent-Readiness Layer

The six conditions that determine whether economic objects are ready for AI-mediated discovery, comparison, verification, and transaction initiation. ARI is multiplicative: if one dimension is zero, agent-readiness becomes zero.

Agent-Readiness Index (ARI)

ARI(e) = D(e) × I(e) × C(e) × V(e) × P(e) × T(e) — A multiplicative index measuring whether an economic object is ready for AI-mediated discovery, comparison, verification, and transaction initiation.

Discoverability (D)

D(e) — The ability of AI agents to find an economic object through computational search and discovery mechanisms.

Interpretability (I)

I(e) — The degree to which an object is represented in machine-parseable forms that AI systems can understand and reason about.

Comparability (C)

C(e) — The extent to which an object's attributes enable machine comparison across alternatives within consideration sets.

Verifiability (V)

V(e) — The ability to verify claims about an object through trusted, machine-readable evidence sources.
