This site is the public record.

The plan is simple and repeatable. Every lesson follows one spine — Frame · Build · Map · Inspect · Check — so the concepts compound instead of piling up. v1 covers the foundations: why agent payments need a protocol, the cast of roles and the two journeys, and the heart of it all — mandates, the unit of trust. From there: selective disclosure (SD-JWT), mandate chains and receipts, the full Human-Present flow, autonomous Human-Not-Present delegation, and how AP2 rides on A2A.

Start at Lesson 00, or see the roadmap.
