Consultant Program

# The KYE Protocol™ Consultant Brief.

A consultant is the implementation specialist who maps a customer's AI-agent workflows, designs the authority + purpose model, ships the integration, and trains the customer team. This brief explains what we expect, what we provide, and how the certification ladder works.

## What a KYE™ Consultant™ delivers

- **Operating Model assessment** — map the customer's agent workflows, identify the authority + purpose model, surface critical-action types.
- **Reference-Gateway integration** — plug KYE™ into the customer's runtime; wire the seven canonical engines (Entity, Authority, Purpose, State, Rules, Decision, Evidence).
- **Sector policy pack selection** — pick the right combination from 61 sector packs (banking, healthcare, payments, …) and 70 rule packs.
- **Conformance run** — execute the 133-fixture conformance pack against the customer's deployment; sign the report.
- **Customer-team training** — get the customer's runtime + compliance teams self-sufficient.
- **Signed Evidence Pack™ delivery** — at engagement close, deliver a sealed evidence pack the customer's auditors can replay offline.

## Certification ladder

| Tier | What it means | Path |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **L1 — Trained** | Completed the KYE Protocol™ training course; can run a Discovery PoC. | Free online course → quiz pass → KYE™ Trained™ badge. |
| **L2 — Certified** | Delivered one signed Evidence Pack™ for a paying customer, audited by KYE Protocol™ project. | 1 paid pilot delivery + signed customer reference + KYE™ Certified™ badge. |
| **L3 — Sector Specialist** | L2 + sector-pack-specific delivery (banking / healthcare / payments / …). | 3 sector deliveries + sector-pack mastery quiz + KYE™ Sector Specialist™ badge. |
| **L4 — Master** | L3 + Tier-1 customer delivery (regulated infrastructure or national consortium). | 1 Tier-1 delivery + co-author of an RFC + KYE™ Master™ badge. |

## Engagement model

- Consultants engage with KYE Protocol™ customers **directly**, on the consultant's own paper. KYE Protocol™ does not place consultants nor route commercial.
- KYE Protocol™ project lists certified consultants in the **public Consultant Marketplace™** ([/marketplace/consultants.html](https://kyeprotocol.com/marketplace/consultants/)).
- Consultants who deliver a paying customer engagement receive a **Consultant Card™** (signed envelope) in their KYE™ Cloud™ tenant.
- The Consultant Marketplace™ ranks by signed delivery evidence. The structural property that prevents pay-to-rank is part of the patent track and is not disclosed in this repository.
