Each vertical registry publishes a standard — the exact set of claims a record contains, how each is sourced, and what each signifies. Records conform to these standards by construction: the same definitions that govern the standard govern the pipeline that computes every record.
Each standard is a reference guide defining every claim a record in that vertical can carry, how it is sourced, and what it signifies. A record declares the standard it conforms to; an evaluator can read the standard to know exactly what a record should contain — and what its absence means.
Additional standards publish as new verticals open.
Every claim on a record is published in parallel forms, emitted from one manifest so they cannot disagree:
All forms are emitted from one manifest, so prose and structured data agree by construction. Registry index pages are structured as schema.org DataCatalog.
Each TrustRecord Standard at trustrecord.com/standards/{vertical} is the reference guide for records in that vertical: the claims a record can carry, their definitions, and their typical sourcing. Records declare the standard they conform to. Precedence rule: where a record states its own definition or window, the record’s statement governs. Records encode claims as liftable prose, embedded JSON-LD, and canonical JSON — all emitted from one manifest so they cannot disagree.
