Every step, in order
Who did what, and why it is safe.
The same tour as text. Every write names the system it came from, the system it went to and the reference that came back.
- PersonDecides. Every approval, tap and spoken word is a person’s.
- Intelligence · draftsReads and drafts, citing its sources. It never sends or approves.
- Automation · acts within authorityCarries out the work an organization authorized, and nothing beyond it.
- System or partnerA participant’s own software, or a partner it connected, in any of the Ecosystem’s categories: verify and assure, hire and keep drivers, run the load, equip and fuel, get paid, comply. Each confirms what it does and returns its own reference; its badge names its category, or says it is the participant’s own system. A public record, such as FMCSA, is shown as a public record, not a partner.
1 Stack: Connect the Stack, once
The broker connects its TMS and an assurance partner. The carrier connects its ELD, its own factoring company, its fuel card and its hiring partner. Each connection returns a reference.
