Agents move fast.
Trust moves with them.
Agents, apps, workflows and tools write thousands of records into your OSDU or E&P data platform every day. Alloy™ holds every one to the standard your SMEs set, before it’s published, and proves it.
Proven on production OSDU implementation Watch the impact storyThe problem
Bad data moves at machine speed.
Untrusted data becomes inaccurate reports, bad decisions and endless rework, with operational, regulatory and financial risk attached.
Looks right ≠ fit for purpose
Generic checks confirm format and completeness. Only your SMEs know whether data is fit for purpose.
Every tool, its own standard
Apps, workflows and vendor tools each check data their own way, not yours.
A promise isn’t proof
Vendors can promise compliance. Only a digital contract you own proves it, on every record.
Trust gate
If agents can skip quality checks, they amplify bad data.
Alloy™ builds trust around your OSDU and E&P data sources. It checks records before they’re published or after they land, stamps Technical Assurance, and lets agents and apps act only on Suitable data.
Without a trust gate
Agents write to OSDU directly
No check before publish and no Suitable filter. Unfit data moves as fast as your agents do.
- Unfit records land in the platform
- Consumers act without Technical Assurance evidence
- Every agent invents its own checks, with no shared audit
With Alloy™
Gate · Stamp · Suitable-only
OSDU stays your system of record. Alloy™ enforces your digital contract on every record, whichever way it arrives.
- Unfit writes are blocked before publish
- Technical Assurance is stamped after write
- 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.
The solution
One rulebook, owned by you.
Your SMEs set the standard once. Alloy™ enforces it across your data supply chain, wherever data comes from.
Trust Specifications New
SMEs write the standard, custodians or agents build it, and a steward approves it. You can always prove where trust came from.
Data Type Governance
Every data type has a named Domain Owner, Steward and Custodian. Accountability, never guesswork.
The Trust Gate
Every record is checked before it’s published. Fail means fix or escalate, not publish.
Technical Assurance
Every record is stamped Suitable or Unsuitable, so apps and agents act only on Suitable data.
Rechecked after write
Data that lands another way is rechecked, and its trust label goes back on the record.
One Rulebook
Same rules for people, apps, workflows and agents. Build once, enforce everywhere, audit once.
How it works
Your standard, on every record.
However data arrives, Alloy™ checks it against the rules your experts set, and labels it so everyone knows what they can trust.
Your experts set the standard.
SMEs write the rules in their own words, and a steward approves them before they’re used.
Every record is checked.
Whether data comes through Alloy™ or lands in OSDU directly, it’s checked against your standard.
Everyone uses trusted data.
Each record carries its trust label, so people, apps and agents act only on Suitable data.
Outcomes
What changes with Alloy™ in place.
Concrete results for data managers, delivery teams and AI programs.
On write
Unfit records blocked
Mandatory checks stop bad data before it reaches OSDU. Fail means fix or escalate, not publish, so unfit data never becomes your system of record.
- Pre-ingest DQ API
- Mandatory QC profiles
On read
Suitable-only agent actions
Technical Assurance stamps every record Suitable or Unsuitable. Agents and apps act only on what your policy allows, with the evidence attached.
- TA writeback
- Consume filters
- DQ result APIs
For governance
Audit in minutes, not a hunt
The same rules, the same Technical Assurance and the same evidence trail for people, pipelines and agents. Answer “who trusted what” without chasing logs across tools.
- 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.
- One rulebook
- APIs in the agent loop
- Deterministic trust signals

-
Blocked before publish
Pre-ingest checks run before a record can land in OSDU, so unfit data never becomes the system of record.
-
Suitable or Unsuitable, on every record
Technical Assurance stamps every record, so apps and agents consume only Suitable data. Trust sits on the record, not in a side file.
-
One rulebook across tools
SME-approved rules live in Alloy™, aligned to OSDU data types, and apply across apps, pipelines and agents.

What is Alloy™?
Alloy™ is a trust platform built around your E&P data sources, including OSDU. Your SMEs define the trust levels your data must meet as a digital contract, and your organization enforces that contract across its data supply chain, building and maintaining trusted data with provenance. Every person, app and agent that consumes it gets a solid data foundation.
What are Trust Specifications?
Trust Specifications are new in Alloy™. Your SMEs write the standard in their own words, custodians or agents build and test the rules, and a steward approves them before they are used. So you can always prove where trust came from.
Why use Alloy™ instead of building checks into each app, workflow or agent?
When trust checks are scattered across applications, tools, workflows and agents, each one validates data its own way. Over time, that builds and maintains inconsistent data, and no one can say which version to trust. Alloy™ defines, governs and manages checks centrally, so one standard applies everywhere and trust stays consistent as you add more apps and agents.
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 lets agent platforms, pipelines and apps call it directly.
How does Alloy™ build and maintain trusted data?
Ready-to-use business rules cover OSDU metadata and domain data (DDMS). Checks are governed centrally by data type, applied before or after ingest and run continuously. Every record is then stamped with Technical Assurance, so consumers can act on Suitable data only.
