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 documented model only.
