The Open Conformance Coalition stewards three open, royalty-free standards. Each answers a different question about trust in an age of autonomous agents and synthetic media — and each can be adopted on its own.
| Standard | Layer | The question it answers | Status | Home |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F-ACT™ | Agent governance | Can this agent be trusted to act? | Published · v1.0 | f-act.org |
| T-RUE™ | Trust revocation | Is this endorsement still valid, or has it been revoked? | Published · v1.0 | t-rue.org |
| R-EAL™ | Content credibility | Is this content real, or fake? | Published · v1.0 | r-eal.org |
All three are pledged royalty-free and published as open standards: F-ACT since 19 August 2026, T-RUE and R-EAL since 5 September 2026. Free to read, cite and implement.
“Can this agent be trusted to act?”
A compact, verifiable record of the authority an agent was granted, how it may act, what it did, how that authority is revoked, and how its data is handled — before the agent acts.
“Is this endorsement still valid, or has it been revoked?”
Transitive Revocation of Upstream Endorsements — a way to withdraw trust across chains of delegation so that when an endorsement upstream is revoked, everything that relied on it knows.
“Is this content real, or fake?”
Reader Evaluation of Authenticity & Legitimacy — an open approach to crowdsourced content credibility, for telling authentic material from synthetic or manipulated content.
