Platform-neutral Trust Infrastructure

Decision-Grade Trust Signals for AI-Mediated Commerce

TrendGuard provides platform-neutral verification signals: structured scores, evidence, and audit trails—that commerce systems can query before recommendation, routing, or checkout.

Explainable Auditable Low-latency APIs Policy-aligned

Built for marketplaces, brands, and agentic commerce platforms.

Core Trust Signals

Modular verification signals designed for machine decisioning and enterprise governance.

1

Listing Authenticity Signal

Explainable authenticity scoring using multi-modal analysis, metadata consistency, and provenance indicators.

Signal + evidence payload
2

Seller & Entity Trust Signal

KYB/KYC orchestration hooks, reputation patterns, and impersonation risk to reduce platform exposure.

Entity graph + risk flags
3

Review & Content Integrity Signal

Manipulation detection, purchase-proof weighting, and anomaly patterns to suppress synthetic influence.

Integrity scoring
4

Policy & Compliance Flags

Structured flags for known regulatory and platform policy patterns (e.g., identity, disclosure, restricted claims).

Governance-ready
5

Audit Trail & Evidence Pack

Event-level decision trace: inputs, signals, rationale, and references for internal review and regulator requests.

Explainability + traceability
6

Agent Trust API

Low-latency endpoints returning structured trust outputs designed for autonomous commerce decisions.

API v1

Integration Surfaces

TrendGuard is designed to plug into existing commerce stacks and agentic workflows, supporting pre-transaction decisions, enforcement actions, and governance review.

Marketplace & Commerce Platform

APIs and SDKs designed for seamless integration into marketplace backends and AI-driven commerce systems. TrendGuard enables trust-scoring, verification, and enforcement directly at the transaction or listing layer.

  • Pre-transaction queries for listing, seller, and content signals.
  • Event webhooks for listing changes, policy updates, and enforcement triggers.
  • Risk operations views to review evidence packs and decision rationale.
  • UX trust indicators (optional) when you want end-user transparency.

Brand, Compliance & Agent Builders

Enterprise-grade tools for brands, compliance teams, and AI agent developers who rely on verified data to make autonomous commerce decisions and maintain regulatory compliance.

  • Brand protection workflows for monitoring and evidence-based reporting.
  • Compliance-aligned outputs for internal control frameworks and audits.
  • Agent-grade schemas for copilots, shopping agents, and procurement automation.
  • Decision traceability to support legal accountability and governance.

Signal Schema

TrendGuard trust signals are delivered in a structured, machine-readable schema designed for automated decision systems, human review, and regulatory audit.

Signal Score

Normalized numeric scores representing confidence and risk across distinct trust dimensions.

  • Authenticity confidence
  • Seller or entity trust
  • Content and review integrity
  • Compliance risk indicators

Rationale & Evidence

Each signal includes an explainability payload suitable for agent reasoning and human inspection.

  • Key contributing factors
  • Evidence references
  • Confidence intervals and flags
  • Deterministic evaluation metadata

Policy & Audit Context

Signals are enriched with governance metadata to support enforcement, review, and compliance workflows.

  • Applicable policy frameworks
  • Jurisdictional context
  • Evaluation timestamps
  • Versioned schema identifiers

This schema allows platforms to separate trust assessment from enforcement logic while preserving transparency, accountability, and composability.

AI-Commerce Ready

Structured outputs that both humans and AI agents can act on instantly.

Real-time Trust APIs

Designed for low-latency decisioning with clearly defined performance targets as the network scales.

  • REST and GraphQL APIs with event-based webhooks.
  • Structured outputs for authenticity, seller, review, and compliance signals.
  • Explainability payloads designed for human review and agent summaries.
  • Versioned schemas with deterministic test fixtures.

Developer Toolkit

Everything needed to integrate quickly and safely.

  • SDKs: JavaScript/TypeScript and Python.
  • Postman collections and sandbox environments.
  • Versioned schemas, SLAs, and change-log webhooks.
  • Privacy-safe logs with regulator-ready audit trails.

Signal Structure Example

An example of how TrendGuard trust signals are structured to support automated decisioning, governance review, and regulatory audit. This example is illustrative and does not represent a finalized API contract.

Trust Signal Structure

The structure below demonstrates how trust assessments, evidence references, and governance metadata are packaged into a single, decision-grade signal.

            /*
              PSEUDO-STRUCTURE (ILLUSTRATIVE)
              This example is non-binding and does not represent a finalized API contract.
            */
            
            TrustSignal {
              subject: {
                type: "listing | seller | product | review | transaction",
                reference: "partner-defined identifier (e.g., listing_id)",
                context: "marketplace | region | category"
              },
            
              assessments: [
                {
                  domain: "authenticity | identity | review_integrity | compliance",
                  outcome: "pass | flag | fail | unknown",
                  confidence: "low | medium | high",
                  risk_tier: "low | medium | high",
                  rationale: [
                    "brief, human-readable reasons suitable for agent summaries"
                  ]
                }
              ],
            
              evidence: [
                {
                  class: "metadata | image | provenance | behavioral | network",
                  note: "summarized or redacted evidence reference (no raw PII by default)"
                }
              ],
            
              policy: {
                recommended_action: "allow | warn | hold | require_review | block",
                notes: "partner policy mapping and governance alignment (optional)"
              },
            
              audit: {
                trace_reference: "tamper-evident reference for accountability (conceptual)",
                retention_guidance: "data-minimization and retention guidance (conceptual)"
              }
            }
              

Field names, scoring models, and enforcement behavior are partner-specific and expected to evolve through pilot integrations.

Signal Lifecycle

Trust infrastructure only works when outputs are consistent, explainable, and reviewable. TrendGuard is designed as a repeatable lifecycle from ingestion to decision trace.

1. Ingest

Listing, seller, and content inputs are normalized into a consistent evaluation schema.

  • Listings, metadata, media, claims
  • Seller/entity identifiers
  • Policy context and jurisdiction

2. Verify

Signals are computed and packaged with rationale and evidence references suitable for humans and agents.

  • Scores + risk flags
  • Explainability payload
  • Evidence pack reference

3. Act + Audit

Partners use outputs for decisions, enforcement, and governance review—supported by traceability.

  • Allow / warn / block / escalate
  • Event webhooks
  • Audit trail exports
