Conformance

Provider and consumer tiers.

Supply Side

Provider Conformance

EGS-P1

  • Endpoint: /egs/v1/gradient
  • Gradient exposure

EGS-P2

  • Endpoints: /gradient + /quote + /allocate
  • ECU contract-capable

EGS-P3

  • Endpoints: /gradient + /quote + /allocate + /receipt
  • Signature: Ed25519
  • Settlement-grade
Demand Side

Consumer Conformance

EGS-C1

  • Gradient-driven routing

EGS-C2

  • ECU quote usage for allocation

EGS-C3

  • Receipt verification
  • Ed25519 signature verification
Adoption

Transitive Adoption

Exporters + schedulers embed EGS upstream for default-path adoption.

  • Prometheus exporters expose /egs/v1/gradient alongside metrics
  • Kubernetes schedulers select nodes via gradient ranking
  • Energy management systems publish gradients as standard output
  • Robotic controllers consume gradients for motion planning

ADOPTION EFFECT

  • Exporter embedding creates installed base
  • Installed base creates routing graph density
  • Graph density creates selection quality
  • Selection quality creates flow volume
  • Flow volume creates settlement revenue
