Alloy™

Agents move fast. Trust must move with them.

OSDU/E&P DataSource holds the subsurface record. Alloy™ makes it trustworthy for AI agents, pipelines, and people.

Alloy™ sits between writers, consumers, and OSDU/E&P DataSource so unfit records are blocked on the way in, and agents and apps act only on Suitable, evidenced data on the way out.

  • Block unfit records before they reach OSDU/E&P DataSource
  • Let agents and consumers act on Suitable data only
  • One rulebook for humans, pipelines, and agents — same TA, same audit

What this delivered

  1. Blocked before publish

    Pre-ingest checks run before a record can land in OSDU/E&P DataSource.

    Fail means remediate or escalate — not publish. Unfit data never becomes the system of record.

  2. Suitable / Unsuitable at scale

    Technical Assurance stamps every record from mandatory checks and advisory signals.

    Agents and apps can consume Suitable only. Trust sits on the record, not in a side file.

  3. One OSDU-aligned rulebook

    SME-approved rules live in Alloy™, aligned to OSDU kinds.

    The same profiles apply across apps, pipelines, and agents — no DQ rebuilt in the next tool.

  4. Evidence for operators

    Quality results are standardized for dashboards and APIs.

    Data managers see where to act by region, asset, or discipline. Audit takes minutes, not a hunt.

  5. Build once, enforce everywhere

    Define the contract once by data type.

    Enforce it pre-ingest, post-ingest, and continuously. Humans and agents share the same trail.

  6. Less duplicate validation

    Stop copying the same checks into every application and every agent.

    One quality layer, one bar, lower cost to keep the estate trustworthy.

Continuous trust loop

  1. 1

    Baseline QC

    Estate is scored against the rulebook.

  2. 2

    Pre-ingest API

    Unfit records are blocked.

  3. 3

    OSDU ingest

    Only passing records publish.

  4. 4

    Post-ingest recheck

    Drift is caught after write.

  5. 5

    TA stamp

    Suitable / Unsuitable on the record.

Trust gate

If agents can skip quality checks, they amplify bad data at machine speed.

Keep Alloy™ between writers, consumers, and OSDU/E&P DataSource. Validate before publish, stamp Technical Assurance, and let downstream agents and apps consume Suitable data only.

Without a trust gate

Agent → OSDU/E&P DataSource directly

No pre-ingest check. No Suitable filter. Unfit data moves as fast as your agents do.

Ingest / consumer agent → OSDU/E&P DataSource

  • Unfit records land in the platform
  • Consumers act without Technical Assurance evidence
  • Every agent invents its own checks — no shared audit

With Alloy™

Gate · Stamp · Suitable-only

OSDU/E&P DataSource remains the system of record. Alloy™ is the trust layer agents and pipelines call before they write or act.

Agent → Alloy™ gate → OSDU/E&P DataSource → TA stamp → Suitable-only consume

  • Pre-ingest blocks unfit writes
  • Post-ingest stamps Technical Assurance
  • Consumers and agents act only on Suitable, evidenced data

Both sides matter: block unfit writes and consume Suitable only — or agents can still move bad data through your platform.

Outcomes

What changes when Alloy™ is in the path.

Concrete results for data managers, delivery teams, and AI programs.

On write

Blocked unfit records

Mandatory pre-ingest QC stops bad data before OSDU. Fail means remediate or escalate — not publish.

How: pre-ingest DQ API · mandatory QC profiles

On read

Suitable-only agent actions

Technical Assurance stamps Suitable / Unsuitable. Agents and apps consume only what policy allows — with evidence.

How: TA writeback · consume filters · DQ result APIs

For governance

Audit in minutes

Same profiles, same TA, same evidence trail — for humans, pipelines, and agents. Answer “who trusted what” without chasing logs across tools.

How: centralized rules · governance · machine-readable results

For AI programs

Safer, faster AI go-lives

Run agents on OSDU without rebuilding data quality inside every bot — and without poisoning the platform.

How: one rulebook · APIs in the agent loop · deterministic trust signals

Problem & solution

Close trust gaps with one shared rulebook.

First see what can still bypass quality checks. Then enforce the same profiles, Technical Assurance, and audit for humans, pipelines, and agents.

The problem

How much of your estate is still ungated?

Data types, writers, and consumers can still reach OSDU without Alloy™ checks. That inventory shows where trust gaps remain — and where to close them next.

Ungated kinds

Data types without a mandatory pre-ingest profile before publish.

Ungated writers

Agents and pipelines that publish to OSDU without Alloy™ quality checks.

Ungated consumers

Agents and apps that act without Suitable-only or Technical Assurance filters.

The solution

One rulebook — humans, pipelines, agents.

Same QC profiles. Same Technical Assurance. Same audit trail. Stop rebuilding data quality inside every application and every agent.

Humans

Data managers and SMEs govern rules by data type — once.

Pipelines

Migration and enrichment use the same pre- and post-ingest checks.

Agents

Ingest and consumer agents follow the same contract — gate, stamp, Suitable-only.

Build once → Enforce everywhere → Audit once

See production proof

How it works

OSDU/E&P Corporate data store is the data plane. Alloy™ is the trust plane.

Alloy™ sits in the path for ingest and consume: pre-ingest QC, post-ingest assurance, Technical Assurance writeback, and evidence APIs for agents and applications.

Rules and QC profiles are governed once by data type (wells, wellbores, and beyond), then enforced across OSDU Data Platform, corporate stores, pipelines, digital tools, and AI agents — so validation is not trapped inside any single application.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

For any unanswered questions, reach out to our team. We'll respond as soon as possible to assist you.

What is Alloy™?

Alloy™ is the trust layer for OSDU and enterprise data: quality, assurance, and policy that agents, pipelines, and people call before they publish or consume. Same rules, same Technical Assurance, same audit — enforced in the critical path, not rebuilt inside every tool.

Why put Alloy™ in the path instead of DQ inside each agent?

If every agent carries its own checks, you get inconsistent rules, no shared Suitable stamp, and no single audit. Alloy™ is one rulebook — gate on write, Suitable-only on read — so trust stays deterministic and governable as agent count grows.

What data stores does Alloy™ support?

Alloy™ works natively with the OSDU Data Platform and includes a connector framework for corporate data stores and legacy repositories. Its API-first design enables integration across agent platforms, pipelines, and apps.

How does Alloy™ build and maintain trusted data?

Built-in business rules cover metadata and domain data (including OSDU schema and DDMS). SMEs add custom rules into lifecycle QC profiles. Rules are governed centrally by data type and applied at pre-ingest, post-ingest, and continuous monitoring — then stamped as Technical Assurance for Suitable-only consume.

Which plan is right for my organisation?

Start with visibility across your estate (Basic), add API-driven pre- and post-ingest validation (Standard), then stamp Suitable and scale multi-source and agentic workloads (Enterprise). Contact us for a trust coverage review.
