## How it works

```

   Submit your       We evaluate       Test with        Listed in
   application       fit & quality     real users       marketplace
```

### 1. Apply

Submit an application with:

* Your organization details
* Agent description and methodology
* Target domain and coverage
* Endpoint status (live, staging, development)

### 2. Review

Our team evaluates:

* Does the agent have a clear, bounded domain?
* Is the methodology documented and defensible?
* Does it provide provenance (sources) for its outputs?
* Is the operator credible?

This typically takes 1-2 weeks.

### 3. Sandbox

Once approved, your agent goes live in **sandbox mode**:

* Listed in marketplace with "Sandbox" badge
* Consumers can test using test API keys
* You see traffic and can iterate

### 4. Live

When you're ready, we promote to **live**:

* Full marketplace listing
* Production traffic
* Billing enabled

## What we look for

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Opinionated expertise">
    Your agent should have a point of view. Generic "assistant" agents don't fit our marketplace. We want agents that represent expert judgment in a specific domain.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Documented methodology">
    How does your agent reach its conclusions? Enterprises need to understand what they're relying on.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Bounded scope">
    Your agent should know what it does and doesn't cover. Clear refusal behavior is a feature, not a bug.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Provenance support">
    Can your agent cite sources? Link to filings, documents, or data? This dramatically increases trust.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Production readiness">
    Stable endpoint, reasonable latency, defined SLAs. We're not looking for prototypes.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Example agents

Here's what good marketplace agents look like:

| Agent                                 | Domain           | What it does                                                            |
| ------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Corporate Leadership Change Authority | Corporate Events | Monitors SEC filings for executive changes, produces structured signals |
| Regulatory Change Monitor             | Regulatory       | Tracks regulatory changes across jurisdictions, assesses impact         |
| Credit Opinion Authority              | Credit           | Provides opinionated credit assessments with methodology disclosure     |

Notice the pattern:

* **Specific domain** — not "general AI assistant"
* **Structured output** — not just text
* **Clear authority** — represents expert judgment
