Pipeline integrity · expert provenance

Make expert pipelines independently provable.

Mercor connects professionals to AI training projects — experts who evaluate, improve, and guide large language models across finance, law, medicine, consulting, research, and engineering. Every expert session, work product, dataset, and evaluation can carry an independent receipt a buyer verifies without relying on platform logs alone.

AFiR signs the session and output layer; OriginProof adds Human-Origin Attestation — a human-conditioned production receipt. Independence is the product: platform logs are useful, but independent receipts travel outside the platform. This is pipeline integrity and provable expert provenance — signed at the session, output, and dataset layers.

Self-serve today — pay with x402, request an activation key, or run a sample receipt. No meeting required; this page is meant to answer the question on its own.

Why independence matters

A platform log is what the platform recorded. A receipt is what a buyer can verify.

Both have their place. The difference is who has to be trusted for the record to mean something.

Platform log

“Our system recorded it.”Useful operational truth — but the buyer has to trust the platform that produced it. The evidence and the interested party are the same entity.

Independent receipt

Evidence that verifies outside the platform.A signed receipt a buyer checks against a public key — no need to trust the marketplace’s own assertion. The record travels with the deliverable.

Hive does not source the expert, run the marketplace, or judge the commercial outcome. Hive signs attested conditions and outputs — so the party that produces the work is not the party that signs the proof. That separation is exactly what makes a receipt worth more than a claim.
Prove now · the pipeline Mercor already runs

These map onto expert work that already happens. Nothing new to build first — add a signature layer to the pipeline you run today, and the output becomes buyer-verifiable.

01

Expert eligibility receipt

Attest that the person who did the work cleared the credential and eligibility bar declared for the task — without exposing the underlying identity documents.

credential_clearance
02

Session integrity receipt

Bind the working session — start, continuity, and completion — so a buyer can see the deliverable came from a coherent, uninterrupted expert session.

session_integrity
03

Declared tool / model-use scope

Record which tools and models were declared in scope for the task, making undisclosed assistance detectable and costly to conceal — not impossible, detectable.

tools_declared
04

Output binding — AFiR / AFiR-Stream

AFiR emits a receipt for each runtime move; AFiR-Stream covers voice and streaming turns — binding the declared conditions to the actual output the buyer receives.

output_binding
05

Dataset / work-product provenance

Carry lineage through an assembled dataset or deliverable — which expert conditions produced which rows — so provenance survives packaging and resale.

dataset_lineage
06

Buyer-verifiable receipt package

Bundle the above into a signed package a buyer verifies against a public key, independent of the marketplace. Proof that travels with the work.

Once the receipts exist, provenance stops being an internal control and becomes something you can sell. Strategic options to review with counsel — not claims that these ship today.

A

OriginProof / Human-Origin Attestation

Certified human-conditioned work as a named product line — a provably human-conditioned process a buyer can price a premium against.

product: OriginProof
B

Imprimatur / portable credential attestation

A portable, signed attestation of an expert’s cleared credentials that follows the work across engagements — reusable, revocable, buyer-checkable.

attestation: portable
C

Mission Coherence / signed review conformance

Prove that an expert review conformed to the declared rubric or standard — a signed conformance receipt, not just a score in a dashboard.

review_conformance
D

Assembly Receipt / dataset provenance graph

A provenance graph for an assembled dataset — every contributing expert condition linked and signed — so a research or model buyer can audit lineage end to end.

provenance_graph
E

SmartMorphAgent™ + x402

Agents purchasing verified human expertise on demand: an agent settles with x402 and receives a signed receipt binding the human-conditioned work it just bought.

Boundary, stated plainly. OriginProof attests conditions, never a verdict. It asserts a provably human-conditioned process — explicitly not “provably human output.” The receipt does not assert definitely_human or certainly_uncontaminated; it makes undisclosed model assistance detectable and costly to conceal, not impossible.

Pay, activate, or see it — without a meeting.

Every path is self-serve and real. Settle with x402, request an activation key, or open OriginProof and run a sample receipt.
