ASSAY

Proof before polish.

Assay turns scattered work history into an evidence-backed Career Dossier. Every sentence traces to confirmed proof, every artifact is graded against a published standard, and GenLayer validators independently adjudicate whether user-approved public evidence supports a professional claim. The resulting consensus receipt enters the manifest before its privacy-preserving integrity seal on X Layer. Assay serves people directly and remains an A2MCP service other agents can hire by the call.

The problem

AI can make every candidate sound exceptional, which makes fluent prose cheap and trust scarce. Traditional résumé tools optimize keywords without knowing whether a claim is supported. Career evidence is usually scattered across documents, links, memories, and systems that never reconcile.

How it works

1. Evidence — ingest documents, links, certificates, and guided answers into a tiered claim ledger.
2. Brief — decompose a job, promotion, or client brief into honest strong/partial/confirm/missing coverage.
3. Forge — produce evidence-gated résumés, letters, stories, review packs, proof packs, portfolios, and manifests.
4. Tribunal — grade deterministic laws and craft, then issue a bounded repair brief instead of quietly lowering the bar.
5. Consensus — explicitly approve the exact public claim, criterion, and URLs; your wallet sends them directly to AssayAdjudicator on GenLayer Testnet Bradbury.
6. Seal — after GenLayer finality, sign the receipt-bearing canonical version and anchor only its salted commitment leaf on X Layer.
7. Share — expose a redacted recruiter portal, selected work samples, or a machine-readable agent hand-off.

See the system

Proof before polish — every sentence exposes its evidence thread.	FAIL → repair → PASS — the first draft is never quietly hidden.
Real pipeline exhibits — fictional personas, honest grades, real seals.	Public verification — no wallet and no payment required.

The trust stack

1. GenLayer — primary adjudication. AssayAdjudicator fetches bounded, approved public evidence inside the Intelligent Contract. Validators independently evaluate the substantive decision under the Equivalence Principle, and only consensus-accepted results change contract state.
2. Assay Standard — deterministic authority. The claim gate and Tribunal own evidence linkage, numeric facts, format laws, parse-back, policy, and the published AS-1.1.0 grading rules.
3. X Layer — dossier integrity. A finalized GenLayer reference enters the canonical manifest; X Layer then anchors only its salted commitment. This preserves the exact dossier version.
4. OKX.AI — agent distribution and settlement. The existing 12-tool A2MCP surface, 13 offers, fixed prices, x402 settlement, and free asy_verify flow remain unchanged.

GenLayer consensus means approved evidence supports—or does not support—a claim under stated criteria. It does not prove identity, employment, issuer authenticity, or absolute factual truth. Private career documents and PII never go to GenLayer by default.

Four moats

1. The claim gate

No artifact sentence renders unless its claimIds[] resolve to confirmed claims backed by existing evidence. Unsupported experience becomes a question, never polished fiction. The same rule checks typed interview answers against the ledger, so “led 12” is flagged when the evidence says 8.

2. A standard that grades its maker

AS-1.1.0 is code, site, and documentation from one source. It combines 15 deterministic hard checks with six craft axes and artifact-specific profiles. Failed drafts receive at most two repair attempts; old reports stay immutable when the Standard changes.

3. Machine verification, not an “ATS score”

Assay renders the ATS PDF, opens the resulting bytes again, extracts the text with its deterministic parser, and diffs 14 profile fields in the featured case. The gallery’s sealed demonstration résumés parse back at 100%; the limitation of that statement is documented below.

4. Provenance with honest privacy

Every dossier version has a canonical manifest, EIP-712 receipt, Tribunal report, and separately sealable commitment. Only keccak256(manifestHash || salt) reaches AssayRegistry on X Layer; source documents, career prose, contact data, and salts stay off-chain.

GenLayer live integration

Assay's AssayAdjudicator Intelligent Contract now implements the consensus-critical part of the trust stack: it fetches a bounded set of approved public evidence inside GenLayer, asks validators to independently decide whether that evidence supports a claim under a contract-owned AS-1.1.0 criterion, and persists only the accepted adjudication. It has 17 passing direct-mode tests and three passing hosted-Studionet consensus scenarios.

It is deployed to GenLayer Testnet Bradbury at 0xa0A…1B96E, with persisted SUPPORTED and INSUFFICIENT public-evidence adjudications. The Studio now uses genlayer-js@1.1.8 for user-wallet writes, exposes the real transaction lifecycle, independently verifies exact calldata and contract state server-side, and includes only finalized bounded receipt fields in the later X Layer manifest. The claim gate, Tribunal, X Layer registry, and OKX.AI/x402 services remain unchanged. See docs/GENLAYER.md and the Bradbury transcript for the architecture, deployment evidence, and honestly recorded network-liveness failures.

MCP tools and prices

MCP negotiation and discovery use the stateless Streamable HTTP endpoint https://api.assayed.xyz/mcp. Assay also publishes concrete /x402/<service> resources so a marketplace offer can return its own immediate 402 challenge. Prices are USDT-denominated per call and settle through x402 on X Layer (eip155:196).

Tool	What it does	Price
asy_ats_scan	Re-parse a résumé, flag format-law failures, and report JD keyword presence	0.05 USDT
asy_claim_audit	Classify supported, vague, and unsupported-number claims	0.05 USDT
asy_fit_brief	Map brief requirements to confirmed evidence and visible gaps	0.10 USDT
asy_cover_letter	Draft a target-specific, evidence-cited letter	0.15 USDT
asy_story_bank	Build Tribunal-graded STAR stories from confirmed claims	0.20 USDT
asy_interview_prep	Generate questions and grade typed answers against STAR and the ledger	0.20 USDT
asy_tailor_resume	Tailor achievement bullets without exceeding the evidence	0.30 USDT
asy_create_dossier_job	Run the complete job, promotion, or freelance dossier asynchronously	2.00 USDT
asy_job_status	Poll a dossier job	free
asy_job_result	Fetch the paid job’s artifacts, reports, portfolio, and seal	free
asy_order_result	Collect a previously paid result that outlived its response window	free
asy_verify	Verify a dossier version or raw commitment leaf	free forever

Tool names, schemas, descriptions, and prices originate in toolspec.ts; the server, pricing page, generated docs, and CI consistency gate consume that source. The MCP manifest contains 12 canonical tools. OKX.AI shows 13 buyer-facing offers: recovery-only asy_order_result is not a new purchasable offer, while the one asy_create_dossier_job tool is listed in three supported modes—Career Dossier, Promotion Dossier, and Freelancer Proof Pack. That is one canonical API tool with three clear entry points, not duplicated capability.

Five-minute quickstart

Prerequisites: Node.js 22+, npm, Git, and a Chromium-compatible Linux/macOS environment. Fake mode is deterministic and needs no provider key, wallet, or funds.

git clone https://github.com/Franlinozz/ASSAY.git
cd ASSAY
npm ci
npx playwright install chromium

export ASY_PROVIDER_MODE=fake
npm run dossier
npm run studio:dev

The dossier command runs extract → coverage → Forge → Tribunal → real Chromium PDF parse-back and writes local artifacts to packages/renderers/artifacts-out/. When the development stack prints its ready lines, open http://127.0.0.1:3400/studio. The local stack uses fake providers, a temporary SQLite store, and the development payment gate.

Five-minute GenLayer reproduction

The deterministic contract gate needs Python 3.12, but no wallet or network:

python3 -m venv packages/genlayer/.venv
packages/genlayer/.venv/bin/pip install -r packages/genlayer/requirements.txt
export PATH="$PWD/packages/genlayer/.venv/bin:$PATH"
npm run test:genlayer
npm run typecheck -w @xyndicate/mcp-server
npx vitest run packages/mcp-server/src/genlayer.test.ts packages/mcp-server/src/studio.test.ts

Then inspect the deployed AssayAdjudicator on Testnet Bradbury, its SUPPORTED transaction, and its INSUFFICIENT transaction. To exercise a new browser write, run the Studio, add a fetched public GitHub/GitLab/Assay link to a confirmed claim, finish the Tribunal, connect a funded GenLayer wallet, review the exact public payload, and submit from Consensus. Assay never proxies that write through its backend. Testnet GEN has no revenue value.

Verify it yourself

The featured fictional persona, Adaeze Okonkwo, has dossier ID DSR-WC0Q7NZ7 and commitment leaf 0xf838233e08922df8238f2fea3f22d98bbb1a1f32d08b8dd1b6f17d880ae64b29. Its three-person seal batch is visible on the X Layer explorer.

curl -sS https://api.assayed.xyz/mcp \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \
  --data-binary '{
    "jsonrpc":"2.0",
    "id":1,
    "method":"tools/call",
    "params":{
      "name":"asy_verify",
      "arguments":{"dossierId":"DSR-WC0Q7NZ7"}
    }
  }'

asy_verify is never payment-gated. You can also paste the dossier ID or leaf into the public verifier.

What the proofs do—and do not—mean

• Parse-back proves readable round-trip through Assay’s deterministic parser and format law. It is not a simulation or endorsement of Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, or every proprietary ATS, and it does not predict recruiter ranking.
• A seal proves integrity, version, signer, and anchoring time. It does not prove a career claim is objectively true. Attested, Documented, Linked, and Sealed evidence tiers remain visible because integrity and truth are different questions.
• Linked means a URL resolved and passed the guarded fetch at evaluation time. It is not a permanent authenticity guarantee for third-party content.
• Certificate import is documented evidence, not issuer confirmation. Independent employer, school, and credential verification are outside v1.
• The gallery is fictional. Its personas are unmistakably labeled demonstrations; their pipeline output, Chromium parse-back, Tribunal reports, and X Layer seals are real. The sealed AS-1.0 sets honestly re-grade at 7/8 under AS-1.1 because their story banks fail the newer STAR completeness profile.
• A2A negotiation is not shipped. Assay is registered and technically proven as A2MCP; its public listing is currently back under review after the operator-approved avatar update. It will not claim a negotiated-delivery agent until that training and acceptance suite exists.
• No voice interviewer or impersonation. Interview Room evaluates typed answers; it does not roleplay a person.

Test evidence

The Assay release gate runs 446 tests: 385 Vitest, 57 Playwright, and 4 Foundry. The GenLayer contract job independently adds 17 direct-mode tests, and its authorized Studionet checkpoint adds 3 consensus tests (466 measured across all green suites), plus GenVM lint. The gates also typecheck every workspace, regenerate the published Standard and 12 tool pages, prove manifest/docs/pricing consistency, and run the repository dead-link gauntlet. See CI and the fresh-clone transcript.
