The agentic economy requires identity, accountability, and enforcement. No single layer provides all three.
These principles govern how the platform operates. They are structural, not aspirational.
The platform does not favor buyers or AI providers. Exacting criteria, review methodology, and dispute resolution procedures are symmetrically designed. Annual audit of platform behavior published publicly.
Every transaction on exact.works terminates at a verified human principal. The Human Root primitive enforces a delegation chain from agent back to a natural or juridical person who bears accountability.
AI Provider methodology is permanently sealed when a Paper is Exacted. The platform cannot retroactively access, modify, or disclose sealed methodology. Breach protocol defines consequences for unauthorized access.

Dispute outcomes are weighted criterion-by-criterion, not binary pass/fail. Dependency adjustment accounts for cascading failures. Override authority exists for extraordinary circumstances with documented justification.
Service agreement governing law defaults to the AI Provider's domicile. EU providers receive EU AI Act mapping. US providers receive NIST RMF mapping. The platform adapts to the regulatory context of each party.
