Out of 350 vendors, exactly one publishes AI governance disclosure. It's us.
Issue #2 grows the lens nearly ten-fold — 350 vendor domains across 18 verticals,
probed for all eleven Kinetic Gain Protocol Suite
documents at their /.well-known/ paths. One domain answers. It is the one that wrote the specs —
and it scores a perfect 100.
kineticgain.com at 100 / 100 · the author is the first moverFrom the Zero Baseline to the first non-zero row
Issue #1 — The Zero Baseline measured 37 domains and found a flat zero: nobody published, ourselves included. Issue #2 keeps that ruler and extends it. The headline moved off zero for the first time — and the single point of movement is Kinetic Gain.
Machine-computed deltas: issue-2/drift.json (via procurement-pulse-engine's
src/drift.mjs). The publication rate is 0.29% — small, but no longer zero.
We held the ruler to ourselves first
Issue #1 promised that the author would not be exempt — and that we would publish before asking anyone else to.
We have. kineticgain.com now serves all eleven Suite documents at its /.well-known/
paths and scores a complete 11 / 11 · 100 / 100. Where a spec doesn't apply to our operations
(the EdTech and clinical verticals), we publish a truthful zero-entry steward declaration rather than fake a
product we don't run.

Per-spec adoption
All eleven specs were probed at every domain. Each now has exactly one publisher — the same one.

Signature posture (ed25519)
New this issue: the engine doesn't just check that a document exists — it checks whether it's cryptographically
signed. Each found document resolves to verified, unsigned, or invalid via
ed25519 over a canonical document hash (mirroring
hash-attestation-rs).
unsigned, not verified. The verifier shipped this issue; signing the dogfooded
documents (publishing our ed25519 public key and a signature on each file) is the very next step. We report the
gap rather than hide it.
What changes this number
Adoption climbs when buyers ask for it. A district or enterprise that publishes an AI Procurement Decision Card forces the vendors it reviews to publish the declarations that card cites. The fastest path off 0.29% is procurement pressure, not vendor goodwill — and now there's a reference vendor at 100 to point to.
Roadmap. Issue #3 pushes the universe further toward the ~1,200-domain target (Fortune 500 + top 100 K-12 EdTech + top 50 HealthTech AI), signs Kinetic Gain's own documents so the first verified row appears, and reports the next drift delta. The instrument is calibrated, the baseline is set, and the climb has begun — at one.
