TG-MIB
TrustGate Management Information Base
1. Purpose
TrustGate (TG) is the primary assurance gateway of the ZAYAZ platform.
The TrustGate Management Information Base (MIB) defines the operational runtime behavior, interfaces, APIs, event contracts, processing pipeline, storage models, governance controls, and integration specifications required for implementation and operation of TrustGate across the ZAYAZ ecosystem.
While the TrustGate architectural specification describes the purpose and role of TrustGate within the broader assurance architecture, this document serves as the implementation blueprint for engineers, platform operators, assurance teams, auditors, and integration developers.
The MIB establishes the canonical operational specification for:
- Signal ingestion
- Trust evaluation
- Trust scoring
- Quarantine handling
- Assurance evidence generation
- Replay support
- DAL anchoring
- Federation exchange
- DSAIL learning feedback
- AII contribution
TrustGate operates as the first assurance decision point within ZAYAZ and is responsible for preventing low-confidence information from entering downstream sustainability calculations, reporting pipelines, and regulatory disclosures.
2. Scope
TrustGate evaluates all inbound assurance-relevant signals entering the ZAYAZ ecosystem.
Supported signal classes include:
| Signal Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Financial Signals | AP invoices, purchase orders, ERP transactions |
| Product Signals | Carbon Passports, DPP records, EPCIS events |
| Environmental Signals | Meter readings, sensor streams, utility consumption |
| Supplier Signals | ESG questionnaires, declarations, attestations |
| Verification Signals | Auditor evidence, replay outcomes |
| Federation Signals | AFLE trust attestations, federation updates |
| Governance Signals | Policy acknowledgements, certification records |
| AI Signals | DSAIL recommendations, anomaly detections |
All supported signal types ultimately produce trust artifacts suitable for:
- DAL anchoring
- OARM replay
- AII scoring
- AFLE federation exchange
- Carbon Passport generation
- Regulatory disclosures

5. Runtime Architecture
5.1. TrustGate Processing Pipeline
TrustGate operates as a deterministic assurance gateway.
Every inbound signal passes through a fixed processing sequence before being accepted, routed, quarantined, or escalated.
The canonical TrustGate runtime order is:
Signal Ingestion
│
▼
Parser
│
▼
Structure Validation
│
▼
Normalizer
│
▼
Enrichment
│
▼
Rule Evaluation
│
▼
Policy Resolution
│
▼
Trust Scoring
│
▼
Decision Engine
│
├── ACCEPT
├── ROUTE
├── ESCALATE
├── QUARANTINE
└── REJECT
│
▼
DAL Anchoring
│
▼
Event Publication
Structure Validation occurs before normalization and verifies that the parsed payload is admissible, structurally coherent, and safe to normalize.
Rule Evaluation occurs after enrichment and evaluates governed validation rules against the normalized and enriched canonical signal.
Policy Resolution occurs before Trust Scoring because Trust Scoring consumes POLICY-CONTEXT as a mandatory input.
Implementations SHALL NOT execute Trust Scoring before Policy Resolution.
5.2. Runtime Components
| Component | Responsibility |
|---|---|
| Signal Parser | Parses inbound payloads into canonical runtime objects |
| Structure Validator | Performs pre-normalization structural validation |
| Signal Normalizer | Normalizes identifiers, units, timestamps, schemas, and payload shape |
| Identity Resolver | Verifies ECO Number, USO, CSI, and relevant identity references |
| Evidence Enricher | Adds contextual metadata, provenance, federation references, and evidence links |
| Rule Evaluation Engine | Executes governed validation rules against normalized and enriched signals |
| Policy Resolution Engine | Resolves POLICY-CONTEXT, thresholds, regulatory constraints, federation constraints, and tenant policies |
| Trust Scoring Engine | Calculates trust using resolved POLICY-CONTEXT and constitutional evidence |
| Decision Engine | Selects ACCEPT, ROUTE, ESCALATE, QUARANTINE, or REJECT |
| Event Publisher | Publishes runtime, trust, replay, and federation events |
| DAL Connector | Performs assurance anchoring |
| Replay Connector | Registers replay artifacts and OARM references |
| Federation Connector | Handles AFLE and federation interactions |
5.3. Processing Guarantees
TrustGate guarantees:
- Deterministic execution
- Idempotent processing
- Replay reproducibility
- Cryptographic auditability
- DAL anchoring
- USO traceability
Every accepted signal SHALL produce:
- USO lineage reference
- Trust evaluation record
- Replay artifact
- DAL anchor reference
6. Trust Evaluation Engine
6.1. Purpose
The Trust Evaluation Engine computes the confidence level associated with a signal.
The Trust Evaluation Engine SHALL execute only after Policy Resolution has produced a resolved POLICY-CONTEXT.
Trust scores are represented as:
where:
- 0 = completely untrusted
- 1 = fully trusted
6.2. Trust Inputs
| Category | Example |
|---|---|
| Source Trust | Historical supplier trust |
| Identity Trust | ECO verification status |
| Structure Quality | Pre-normalization structure validation |
| Data Completeness | Missing field analysis |
| Rule Evaluation | Governed validation rule outcomes |
| Policy Context | Resolved POLICY-CONTEXT |
| Historical Accuracy | Previous replay outcomes |
| Federation Validation | AFLE verification |
| DAL Verification | Ledger proof validation |
| AI Recommendations | DSAIL modifiers |
6.3. Composite Trust Formula
The default TrustGate trust score is calculated as:
Where:
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| Source trust | |
| Identity confidence | |
| Data quality | |
| Rule evaluation quality | |
| Resolved policy context | |
| Historical reliability | |
| Federation validation | |
| DAL verification confidence |
and
6.4. Confidence Interval
TrustGate stores confidence separately from trust score.
Where:
- = observed trust variance
Low confidence may trigger escalation despite a high trust score.
6.5. Trust Classification
| Range | Classification |
|---|---|
| 0.95 – 1.00 | Verified |
| 0.85 – 0.95 | Trusted |
| 0.70 – 0.85 | Conditional |
| 0.50 – 0.70 | Review Required |
| < 0.50 | Quarantine |
7. Decision Engine
7.1. Decision Logic
TrustGate evaluates trust score, confidence, resolved policy context, and federation constraints.
The Decision Engine consumes the Trust Score produced after Policy Resolution. It does not resolve scoring policy retroactively.
Possible outcomes:
| Outcome | Description |
|---|---|
| ACCEPT | Signal accepted |
| ROUTE | Routed to next processor |
| ESCALATE | Human review required |
| QUARANTINE | Signal isolated |
| REJECT | Signal discarded |
7.2. Decision Formula
Where:
| Variable | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Trust Score | |
| Confidence Interval | |
| Resolved policy context | |
| Regulatory Constraints |

{
"trust_score": 0.91,
