Who makes it
AsAsked is made by Concord, a product studio. It is open source under Apache-2.0: the guard, the store, the harness and the open half of the dataset. For anything else, reach us through Concord.
Verifiable Intent
AsAsked works on top of Verifiable Intent, an open draft standard for cryptographic agent authorization in commerce, and does not modify it. It is an independent project: not affiliated with the standard's authors, Mastercard or Google, and not endorsed by them. We use the reference SDK as published, under its Apache-2.0 licence.
The rules we keep
- Every number can be checked. Figures on this site come from the repository and its runs; the examples are real output of the sandbox and the guard. The run logs of the open halves are in the repository, in data/runs/.
- The decision is code, not a model. A model only turns words into facts. Whether a cart matches is decided by plain deterministic code, so every
askcan be checked by hand. - Costs are counted with benefits. The benchmark reports how often the guard stops a right purchase, not only what it catches.
- Limits are stated. One sport, a catalog we built, a single reviewer, a benchmark run once per task — said on the page, not left out.
Status
Draft. The spec is version 0.1. Benchmark results on this site come from runs of 31 October – 5 November 2026, with guard versions 0.1.3 (v1), 0.1.4 (v2, open half) and 0.1.5 (v2, hidden half). Code: the repository.
