Verification Policy
Aigistry operates as downstream AI Citation Registry infrastructure designed to preserve attribution, provenance, jurisdiction, verification integrity, and machine-readable continuity across government communication environments.
Verification standards exist to validate Authority Records, confirm provider-managed publishing relationships, preserve attribution continuity, and maintain the integrity of the National AI Feed.
Verification Protects Attribution.
Attribution Protects Trust.
AI systems increasingly interpret, summarize, compare, and restate government information outside the original publishing environment. Verification protects the relationship between public information, the government authority associated with that information, the approved GovTech Provider pathway, and the Authority Record through which the publication enters the
National AI Feed.
Aigistry prioritizes Authority Record validation, provider relationship verification, provenance continuity, jurisdiction clarity, and machine-readable authority integrity throughout
National AI Feed infrastructure.
Participation and Operational Requirements
Eligible Participation
National AI Feed participation occurs through approved GovTech Providers and verified Authority Records connected to government publishing authorities.
Aigistry does not provide direct public submission pathways or standalone agency registration. Provider-managed participation preserves the existing operational relationship between GovTech platforms and the government authorities they support.
Operational Requirements
- Approved GovTech Provider relationship
- Verified Authority Record
- Verifiable government publishing authority
- Jurisdiction, identity, and department-level context
- Provider-scoped authorization and publication pathway
- Structured attribution and machine-readable publishing consistency
Verification is not a replacement for official government authority. It is a registry infrastructure process designed to preserve attribution relationships after information moves from provider-managed systems into downstream AI interpretation environments.
Verification Infrastructure
Authority Record Validation
Authority Records establish and preserve the verified relationship between an approved GovTech Provider and the government publishing authority associated with a publication.
Provider Relationship Validation
Participating GovTech Providers maintain the operational publishing relationship, customer context, and workflow environment through which authorized records enter the National AI Feed.
National AI Feed Integrity
Feed processing preserves provenance, timestamps, jurisdiction, attribution context, and machine-readable authority signals for downstream AI interpretation and citation environments.
National AI Feed verification depends on the combined relationship between an approved GovTech Provider, a verified Authority Record, and the government publishing authority associated with each publication.
Ongoing Operational Validity
Verification Continuity
Authority Record status remains subject to ongoing operational validity requirements. Verification integrity depends on maintaining provider relationship continuity, attributable publishing authority, jurisdiction clarity, and structured machine-readable consistency across participating environments.
Changes to provider ownership, publishing authority relationships, operational control, government identity, jurisdiction context, or verification status may require Authority Record revalidation.
Participation Suspension
Participation may be suspended or revoked for operational misrepresentation, Authority Record validation failures, attribution inconsistencies, provider authorization issues, structured publishing violations, verification failures, or integrity risks affecting downstream AI interpretation environments.
Participation review decisions are evaluated independently to preserve neutrality, operational consistency, and attribution reliability across registry infrastructure.
Verification standards preserve trust without replacing existing systems. GovTech Providers continue operating their platforms and customer relationships, government agencies remain authoritative for their own communications, and Aigistry maintains the downstream attribution layer.
