AGENT BRAND STUDIO
Identity Score
The Identity Score is the trust signal attached to every brand.json credential issued through agentbrand.ai.
It measures how legibly an agent's identity is expressed — not whether the agent is good, capable, or correct.
The composite score is called the Identity Score; one of its sub-dimensions retains the name "Legibility to strangers" because it measures something distinct.
Score range: 0–6. Six dimensions, one point each.
The score is computed programmatically. Any system can submit a brand.json to the public scoring endpoint
and receive the score plus a dimension breakdown.
The six dimensions
| Dimension | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Consistency | Same behaviour across contexts — primary operating character only. No contradictory tags, no "everything for everyone". |
| Distinctiveness | Identifiable without the agent name. Persona, domain, and brand signal together let a reader infer who this agent is, distinct from a generic assistant. Comparison set: the Famous AI series. |
| Honesty | Stated persona matches stated behaviour. No aspirational language unsupported by the domain or ethics. ethics_will and ethics_wont describe real, observable behaviour. |
| Legibility to strangers | A stranger reading the credential could write a one-sentence description of this agent. Fields are concrete, not marketing. |
| Stability | Identity held over time and across versions. Fresh credentials with no track record default to 0 on this dimension until a public history accumulates. |
| Mandate Clarity | Documented human mandate — who authorised the agent, what they authorised, what oversight mechanism exists. All three signals must be present in the credential. |
Calibration
Fresh agents score 3–4 / 6 by default. 6 / 6 requires both a documented public history (stability) and a documented mandate. The score is a legibility judgment, not a quality judgment — a 6/6 agent is not "better" than a 3/6 agent, only more legible.
Programmatic endpoint
Any system can score any brand.json credential. Public. No authentication required.
