Forbidden claims & allowed framing

ECZ-ID is identity, authority, custody, and evidence-state proof. It is not a certification, safety guarantee, regulatory approval, compliance guarantee, insurance policy, or endorsement.

ECZ-ID must not be described as

  • a certification.
  • an approval.
  • a safety guarantee.
  • an insurance policy.
  • a regulatory approval.
  • a full compliance guarantee.
  • an AI safety certification.

Allowed framing

  • resolver-verifiable identity.
  • authority.
  • custody.
  • evidence-state.
  • binding posture.
  • public proof.
  • machine-readable verification.
  • current state and historical receipt references.

Bad / Good — agent claims

Bad: "ECZ-ID certifies this agent is safe." Good: "ECZ-ID Resolver shows this Agent Credential is currently BOUND to the stated operator and manifest."

Bad / Good — API claims

Bad: "This API is approved." Good: "Resolver projects the current API Passport binding state for this API surface."

Bad / Good — supplier claims

Bad: "This supplier is fully compliant." Good: "Resolver shows the package state as VALID or INVALID with reason_codes only."

Marketplace listing wording

  • Describe the listing as a verifier or routing surface, not as a guarantee.
  • Do not claim partnership with the marketplace operator unless contractually true.
  • Always link to Resolver for current state; do not embed a screenshot as proof.

Extension / app wording

  • The extension fetches and displays Resolver state. It does not certify the underlying surface.
  • Do not claim the extension makes any site, agent, or API safe.
  • Make clear that current state must be re-checked in Resolver before action.

Developer docs wording

  • Document fields, sequences, and Resolver state vocabulary precisely.
  • Do not state or imply that a documented state is itself a guarantee.
  • Pair every BOUND example with the unsafe-state vocabulary so consumers understand both paths.

Sales wording

  • Describe ECZ-ID as identity, authority, custody, and evidence-state proof.
  • Do not promise certification, approval, safety, insurance, or full compliance.
  • Packages and bundles are VALID or INVALID with reason_codes only.
  • Insurability Readiness™ is binary YES / NO, derived, free, non-editable, and non-sellable.
  • LEI is optional by default and required only where legal or package policy requires it. ECZ-ID is not an LEI.

Live proof posture

Live public binding projection for this documentation surface has not yet been independently proven. These docs describe the code-proven and test-proven model only.

ECZ-ID separates setup, verification state, and public proof. Developer Gateway documents setup paths and verifier guidance. TrustOps handles setup. Resolver remains the public proof surface. The verifier does not create or change verification state. Re-check before reliance. Local policy decides.
