Credentialing & eligibility
Know whether a party is even eligible — before anyone spends.
A per-transaction read of credential state — registration, licensing, and the federal credentialing surface — designed to return eligible, or a gap-fill plan when it is not. It reads credential structure, not identity documents: PII-refusing by design.
Party → gates → eligible (or gap plan)
What the substrate reads
Before a transaction proceeds, the substrate reads the parties' credential state and returns one of two honest answers: eligible, or a specific gap-fill plan — so no one spends against a party who was never qualified to begin with.
- Registration and licensing state — SAM.gov, GSA, FFL
- Per-transaction, not a one-time onboarding stamp
- A gap-fill plan when a credential is missing or expired
- Reads structure, refuses identity documents — PII never enters
The read runs locally today. The customer-facing wire is the gated piece.
Capability Gate — explicit
- Built
- Credential-state read, gap-fill plan, PII-refusing intake, audit-chain anchoring.
- Gated
- The customer-facing wire and live integration with the credentialing sources.
- In production today
- No customer-facing service. Substrate operates locally; nothing on this page is a deployed customer-facing service.
- Path to live
- Source onboarding and counsel review proceed independently of this page. The substrate stands ready.
