The original title is "Agent-Ready Commerce, Part 4: Making Policies Machine-Readable"

Short summary

AI-ready commerce platforms must move from human-readable policy pages to structured policy claims with explicit scope, evidence, and lifecycle control. The article presents a six-dimensional model (domain, applicability, value, evidence, lifecycle, quoteability) enabling agents to safely evaluate eligibility without inferring rules. This prevents agents from becoming policy engines while keeping commercial authority with the platform.

• •Policy pages written for humans cannot be safely interpreted by agents as executable rules
• •Machine-readable policies need explicit structure: domain, applicability, value, evidence, lifecycle, quoteability
• •This model allows agents to safely evaluate eligibility while preserving platform authority
