Agent Readiness Translation Ladder

Text version of this map

The same map as plain structure — every component, then every connection — for screen readers, search, and AI agents. Also available as Markdown and JSON; every published map is listed in llms.txt.

Components

• Agent Readiness — Translation Ladder Canonical framework language is not public language and not page language. Each dimension descends a rung at a time: what the Guild calls it → what a reader asks → where on the estate it is answered. Governance does not descend a column; it spans them as the spine.
  • Governance spine — is human judgment intact? [spine, canonical] THE SPINE, not a sibling dimension. Governs all four dimensions (authority edges). Plain-language: 'is the judgment/governance layer intact?' Page-role: the human-judgment layer expressed across every page — the boundedness lines, the 'your own judgment stays sovereign', the 'checkable not asserted' posture. When governance is dropped from a translation, an artifact can look agent-ready while quietly ceasing to be legible or honest.
    • plain: is the governance layer intact?
    • page-role: human-judgment layer across every page
  • Legibility (canonical) [canonical] Dimension 1. Can the surface be read and understood by an agent reader as well as a human?
  • Discovery (canonical) [canonical] Dimension 2. Can the surface be found by the systems that route agents and readers to it?
  • Trust (canonical) [canonical] Dimension 3. Can the claims be checked against inspectable evidence rather than merely asserted?
  • Callability (canonical) [canonical] Dimension 4. Can the surface actually be used/acted on — a real on-ramp, not a dead end?
  • “Can it be understood?” [plain-language] Plain-language rendering of Legibility.
  • “Can it be found?” [plain-language] Plain-language rendering of Discovery.
  • “Can it be trusted?” [plain-language] Plain-language rendering of Trust.
  • “Can it be used?” [plain-language] Plain-language rendering of Callability.
  • Framework explainer makes it understandable [page-role] Page-role expression of Legibility: /diagnostics/agent-readiness/what-agent-ready-means/ — the explain role (see Estate Role Map).
  • Discovery surfaces (naming, structure, SEO) make it findable [page-role] Page-role expression of Discovery: cross-estate structure + naming; the find role.
  • Proof page + evidence substrate make it checkable [page-role] Page-role expression of Trust: the proof page grounded on the public evidence substrate — the demonstrate + ground roles (see Estate Role Map).
  • Sales page + assessment on-ramp make it usable [page-role] Page-role expression of Callability: /diagnostics/agent-readiness/ → assessment.quantumbeard.ai — the convert role (see Estate Role Map).
