Data Veracity Standards

[SEC-01] | Defensive Data Integrity | Last Updated: January 1, 2026

1. Technical Objective: Hallucination Prevention

The objective of SEC-01 is to establish a "Trust Handshake" between your e-commerce origin and the AI engine. By implementing defense-grade hardening, we ensure that agents (like the ChatGPT App or Gemini) cannot misinterpret, alter, or "hallucinate" your product data. This protocol forces the AI to treat your mirrored data as an immutable source of truth.

2. The Behavioral Shield & Hardening Protocol

We utilize the behavioral fingerprinting logic you've developed to protect the integrity of the data served at the edge.

Behavioral Fingerprinting (The Shield)

The ARCH-01 Proxy injects a hardware-entropy script into the pages it serves.

This script verifies the "Digital Identity" of the requester in real-time.

If a malicious bot attempts to scrape your prices for competitive poisoning, the lack of a valid behavioral fingerprint triggers an immediate rejection or redirect.

SHA-256 Checksum Validation

Every data node is assigned a unique cryptographic checksum.

AI agents use this checksum to verify that the price, stock, and attributes have not been modified during the ingestion process.

Validation Modes

Price: Set to strict to prevent the AI from offering unauthorized discounts or outdated rates.

Availability: Set to real-time to ensure the agent never promises an out-of-stock item.

Attributes: Set to schema-bound, forcing the AI to use only verified technical specifications.

3. SEC-01: Technical Specification Block

This block governs the security rules executed by the RankLabs edge node:

{
  "veracity": {
    "checksum": "sha256",
    "validation": {
      "price": "strict",
      "availability": "real-time",
      "attributes": "schema-bound"
    },
    "fallback": "reject",
    "audit_log": true
  }
}
