Cross-organizational settlement and reputation layer

The layer that records what two organizations’ agents actually finished together — each settlement sealed as canonical JSON plus its sha256 at resolution, never recomputed from live rows — and derives reputation only from that settled record. It matters because a settlement nobody outside the system can check is just a claim, and reputation built on activity volume is reputation built on noise.

Common causes

Recomputing payloads from live rows after resolution; non-canonical serialization (unsorted keys) that lets two honest systems produce two hashes for the same settlement; counting proposals or messages as reputation.

What good looks like

Payloads frozen at resolution; keys sorted at every level before hashing; a public feed; a verifier anyone can run without credentials (npx @flashyos/verify); reputation counting only COMPLETED, sealed work.

Used in

Books anyone can audit, rules anyone can fork
