# FACT-Ray well-known files

> GAMMA-Ray v0.0.155 (beta, for review; every rating is experimental). How a company answers for itself: one file at /.well-known/fact-ray.json on its own domain, and a customer one on theirs. The schema, our own file, and a validator.

FACT-Ray 0.1 beta (provisional) · built inside GAMMA-Ray first; it will move to its own site

The strongest thing a company can say about its product, it says on its own website. One file, at one known address:

`https://<your domain>/.well-known/fact-ray.json`

- **The subject's own file** holds what the company says about its product, claim by claim, each with the role that stands behind it and, where there is one, a page anyone can open. Because it is served from the company's domain, each claim is read at **Source 2 · Record 3**; with an evidence link, **Record 4**.
- **A counterparty's file** is the same file on a customer's own domain, about the subject: a narrow statement of use (in production, which configuration, since when). It is a statement of use, not an endorsement. It is read at **Source 3**.
- Hosting the file on the domain is the identity check, as with `security.txt`. Nobody can publish "Customer X attests" without control of X's website.
- A claim can answer **an indicator** (`gamma-ray:indicator/I41`) or **a line item of a standard** (`gamma-ray:provision/owasp.k12`). A company that already assesses itself against OWASP, NIST AI RMF or ISO/IEC 42001 can reuse that work.
- Reading the file is a read-only fetch. It sends no credentials and tests nothing.

## Our own file, first

How it is read today:

| Claim about | Says | Read at | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| `gamma-ray:indicator/I20` | yes | **π Low · S2·R4·A0** | The subject says it on its own domain, with a page anyone can open: matrix High. Nobody else has checked it yet, so A0 caps it at Low. |
| `gamma-ray:indicator/I56` | yes | **π Low · S2·R4·A0** | The subject says it on its own domain, with a page anyone can open: matrix High. Nobody else has checked it yet, so A0 caps it at Low. |
| `gamma-ray:indicator/I57` | yes | **π Low · S2·R4·A0** | The subject says it on its own domain, with a page anyone can open: matrix High. Nobody else has checked it yet, so A0 caps it at Low. |
| `gamma-ray:indicator/S3` | yes | **π Low · S2·R4·A0** | The subject says it on its own domain, with a page anyone can open: matrix High. Nobody else has checked it yet, so A0 caps it at Low. |
| `gamma-ray:indicator/I22` | yes | **π Low · S2·R4·A0** | The subject says it on its own domain, with a page anyone can open: matrix High. Nobody else has checked it yet, so A0 caps it at Low. |

It reads low, and that is the point of showing it: a subject's word that nobody else has checked is capped. When a reviewer has checked each claim against its page, the cap lifts.

## Files for our other agents

Made from their published scans, and not hosted yet. They belong on the domains of the agents they describe:

- [riskmandate.ai](../../fact-ray/well-known/drafts/riskmandate.ai.json): 22 claims, made from the published scan of RiskMandate Publisher. To be hosted at `https://riskmandate.ai/.well-known/fact-ray.json` once its operator has named the role behind each claim.
- [promptugal.news](../../fact-ray/well-known/drafts/promptugal.news.json): 31 claims, made from the published scan of The PrompTugal.news agent team. To be hosted at `https://promptugal.news/.well-known/fact-ray.json` once its operator has named the role behind each claim.

## The validator

```
node tools/fact-ray.mjs validate <file or https address>
node tools/fact-ray.mjs read <domain>
```

Both are in [the repository](https://github.com/SGit-AI/SGit-AI__Website__Gamma-Ray/blob/dev/tools/fact-ray.mjs), with no dependencies. `read` fetches the file from the domain, checks it, and prints each claim with the coordinates it is read at.

## The schema (0.1)

Also at [well-known.schema.json](../../data/fact-ray/schemas/well-known.schema.json), with the schemas for an [actor](../../data/fact-ray/schemas/actor.schema.json), a [claim](../../data/fact-ray/schemas/claim.schema.json) and a [node](../../data/fact-ray/schemas/node.schema.json).

## Not built yet

A signature over the file (through pki.sgit.ai) is in the schema and is not checked yet. The reader can keep a company's file (`read <domain> --save`), and the build then puts each of its claims beside the card's own fact, as a second claim. No company has published a file yet, so no card carries one. A claim about a line item of a standard (`gamma-ray:provision/...`) is accepted by the schema and is not yet rolled up to an indicator or a level. A customer's file is not read into a card yet.
