A more useful way to discover
Start with a need. Find a better fit.
People know what they need. Merchants know what they can supply. Intent Registry explores a shared language to bring the two together, with customer choice at the centre.
An intended experience, grounded in work still in development.
ONE NEED. TWO PERSPECTIVES.
MAYA / CUSTOMER

ANNA / MERCHANT
“Here is what I can supply. And the facts to compare it.”
Her choice. Her next step.
Six ways into the story
Where do you fit?
Six films to watch. Six perspectives to explore.
01 / Customer
Start with what you need.
Maya needs petite maternity clothing, delivered home, for a limited season of her life. She should be able to say that in her own words.
Film ready · 2:38.6 · English captions included in film · No autoplay
Fictional story / proposed experience. Synthetic voices. The customer film’s privacy promise is an intended goal; current protected retrieval exposes an opaque identity to the provider.
Maya describes her need. Her agent would find the relevant category, interpret the attributes and ask about missing details. She does not need to learn a technical dictionary.
2
Understand the fit
Her permitted requirements can be compared with merchant statements. A useful result explains what fits, what does not, and what is still unknown, including measurements, fabric, delivery and return terms.
3
Choose the next step
Maya corrects the interpretation and decides what to do. A match alone authorizes no contact, personal disclosure or purchase.
INTENT & CURRENT WORK
This film illustrates the intended experience. Spoken interpretation, contact relay and reputation are proposed. Its identity-shielding scenes express a design goal: current protected retrieval exposes an opaque customer identifier to the provider, so the film is not proof of merchant anonymity.
Anna runs a specialist maternity boutique. She is frustrated by marketing spend that attracts attention without bringing enough customers she can serve well.
Film ready · 3:31.2 · English captions included in film · No autoplay
Fictional story / proposed experience. Synthetic voices. The customer film’s privacy promise is an intended goal; current protected retrieval exposes an opaque identity to the provider.
Anna checks the measurements, materials, availability and conditions she can substantiate. Shared definitions make her statements comparable; they do not certify product quality.
2
Keep authority close to the source
Her business publishes actual values using the agreed meanings. Validation and admission make discovery references available. Her own systems, or authorized replicas, serve the published statements.
3
Measure useful outcomes
The promise to test is relevance and accountability: suitable purchases, returns and total acquisition cost. Better returns on marketing spend are a hypothesis, never a guarantee.
INTENT & CURRENT WORK
The local implementation supports governed definitions, signed publication, discovery references and authorized retrieval. Production enrollment, natural-language interpretation, contact relay and reputation remain proposed. The maternity category and displayed values are illustrative.
An agency could help Anna turn scattered product pages, sizing guides and delivery policies into accurate, comparable information, then keep it useful.

Fictional story / proposed experience. Synthetic voices.
Begin with one client and one offering. Find outdated descriptions, conflicting measurements and missing conditions. Ask the merchant for evidence instead of inventing an answer.
2
Organize and maintain
Map the verified facts to existing category and attribute definitions. Support source preparation and admission. Proposed new meanings still need governed review; a stock or delivery change should prompt a fresh check.
3
Learn from the outcome
Investigate what prevented a confident decision. Correct misleading claims, examine returns and measure acquisition costs. Work from authorized information, not access to a customer’s private history.
INTENT & CURRENT WORK
A dedicated agency product, delegated permissions, analytics workflow and commercial terms have not been established. This is useful work an agency could offer, not a shipped portal or a claimed client result.
Anna’s Maternity Boutique pays to attract potential customers. Maya spends time deciding what deserves her attention. A personal agent could change where that attention goes.

Fictional story / proposed experience. Synthetic voices.
Advertising helps connect customers and suppliers and funds many online services. An agent could begin with a person’s stated need and permitted information, then help compare relevant offerings.
2
Follow the work that creates value
If discovery produces useful matches, some acquisition spending could move toward the services supporting discovery and completed transactions. Operating costs and returns still count in the result.
3
Give customers a stake
The intended cooperative would be customer-owned and customer-governed. Members would have a voice in the shared intermediary and could share economic value. Membership, representation and benefit rules remain to be defined.
INTENT & CURRENT WORK
This is a proposal for a sustainable exchange, not a forecast that all advertising will disappear. No conversion gains, cost reductions, revenue allocation or customer rewards have been proven or agreed.
A maternity search can reveal something sensitive. Maya should know what her agent uses privately, what a provider receives and what any later step needs.
Film ready · 1:44.7 · English captions included in film · No autoplay
Fictional story / proposed experience. Synthetic voices.
Permission to use information privately to understand Maya’s need is not permission to send it to merchants. The intended request includes only relevant, permitted details and lets her correct the interpretation.
2
Recognize today’s boundary
Discovery does not publish Maya’s private search or history. Protected retrieval authenticates to the provider’s serving system using an opaque issuer/subject identity and a provider grant. An opaque identifier is not a guarantee of anonymity or unlinkability.
3
Make each later step a choice
Identity shielding and a permitted contact relay still need a distinct design. A delivery address or payment disclosure belongs to a later purpose, with clear permission. Combinations of details can identify someone even without a name.
INTENT & CURRENT WORK
Customer control and cooperative ownership are intended safeguards. Identity shielding remains a design goal. An opaque provider identifier is not proof of anonymous or unlinkable access.
Once Maya finds something suitable, the exchange must make sense for her, Anna and the services that support it. Keep acquisition spending separate from the price of the clothing.
Film ready · 1:36.4 · English captions included in film · No autoplay
Fictional story / proposed experience. Synthetic voices.
Maya reviews the product, total price, delivery and return conditions before deciding to buy. Finding an offering grants no purchase or payment authority.
2
Account for every obligation
Product payment supports the merchant. Delivery, payment processing and cooperative services have distinct costs. Authorization, settlement, failed payments, refunds and disputes need defined responsibilities.
3
Define shared value before promising it
The cooperative aims to share value with customer members. Eligibility, fees, allocation and payout rules are undecided. No reward on Maya’s purchase, fee percentage or savings figure is promised.
INTENT & CURRENT WORK
Payments and transactions are integral to the intended business model, but reputation, payment infrastructure, settlement and distribution of value are proposed. This page accepts no payments and enrolls no users.
A dictionary. A directory. A decision that stays yours.
Think of a shared dictionary that helps independent agents understand the same words, and a directory that points them to information the merchant is responsible for.
01 / NAMES & MEANINGS
Agree on the language.
A namespace organizes names in a hierarchy, like branches in a library. A category groups related kinds of offerings. An attribute definition says what a field means, how to measure it and which values are allowed.
“Maternity clothing” and fabric or sizing fields here are examples, not a claim that these definitions are approved today.
02 / MERCHANT VALUES
State the actual facts.
Anna supplies the values: a particular measurement, material or condition, tied to the exact agreed definition. She owns the authoritative publication and must keep it accurate. A signed statement establishes its source, not the truth of a quality claim.
03 / DISCOVERY REFERENCES
Point to the right source.
A discovery reference points to a merchant’s exact published revision and serving location. It is separate from the dictionary and the merchant’s values. Admission checks publications; there is no central authoritative merchant catalogue.
Provider-owned systems and authorized replicas can serve protected statements. Governance also keeps authority, admission and audit information.
↳
Shared meaning helps comparison. It does not make the decision. Missing or incompatible information remains visible. Discovery alone authorizes no disclosure, contact or purchase.
These six films illustrate the intended experience. Cooperative ownership and identity shielding are design goals. Production spoken interpretation, contact relay, reputation and payment services remain proposed. The films do not announce a live marketplace.
