World-first distributed fulfilment protocol Open protocol for work execution

The open protocol for distributed fulfilment of work.

Poiva is the world's first computer protocol designed to coordinate distributed fulfilment from human resources, AI agents, organizations, and machines across software, healthcare, logistics, construction, legal work, and more.

It standardizes how intentions become missions, how capabilities are matched, how evidence is collected, and how outcomes are verified and settled without locking execution into a single platform.

Protocol graph

Intent Outcome signal

Example intent

Discharge a patient safely before 17:00

A sponsor expresses the outcome, urgency, constraints, and acceptable result without prescribing every step.

Healthcare SLA: 4 hours Priority: high
TriggerClinician marks patient ready
InputsOutcome, deadline, constraints
Mission Scoped work

Example mission

Review and redline a supplier agreement before signature

The intent becomes a protocol object with sponsor, deliverables, review path, pricing rules, and completion semantics.

Legal 2 reviewers 1 deliverable
DeliverableApproved contract markup
ConstraintsPolicy, jurisdiction, deadline
Execution Fulfilment run

Example execution

Ship an invoice export, route a courier, or inspect a live site

Humans, organizations, AI agents, and automations contribute activities while the protocol keeps shared state and traceability.

Mixed participants 42 events 6 automations
ActorsEngineer, courier, inspector, AI
OutputsDeliverables plus event history
Evidence Portable proof

Example evidence

Pull requests, signatures, GPS trails, photos, lab results

Proof stays attached to the work so completion can travel across systems instead of living inside one vendor workflow.

Structured + unstructured Tamper-aware Cross-domain
FormatsLinks, files, events, attestations
GoalMake verification reusable
Verification Outcome accepted

Example verification

Rules confirm “merged + tests green”, “drop complete”, or “clinical sign-off captured”

Policies evaluate evidence and return accepted, rejected, or revision-needed with a durable completion record.

Deterministic checks Human review Settlement-ready
DecisionAccepted / rejected / revise

48+ domain profiles
5 participant types
1 shared lifecycle
Built for protocol-native execution engines
Portable across vendors and internal systems
Compatible with human and AI fulfilment
Evidence-first by default
Designed for cross-domain execution
Why Poiva exists

Every platform keeps reinventing work. Poiva standardizes distributed fulfilment.

Jira, GitHub, Slack, ERP systems, legal platforms, logistics tools, and healthcare workflows all model similar concepts in incompatible ways. Poiva defines the common language once so independent systems can interoperate without lock-in.

Outcome over activity

Poiva measures finished outcomes and accepted deliverables instead of hours, meetings, or status updates.

Evidence over trust

Pull requests, inspections, signatures, tracking data, photos, and evaluations make verification portable.

Capabilities over titles

Participants are selected for what they can do, whether they are humans, teams, AI systems, or machines.

How it works

A shared lifecycle from intent to verified completion.

The exact tools change. The execution semantics do not. Poiva gives distributed teams and systems one portable path for fulfillment across domains.

Intent

A desired outcome enters the protocol.

Mission

Scope, objectives, requirements, and sponsor are defined.

Planning

Activities, risks, cost, and capability needs are modeled.

Provisioning

The right human resources and systems are selected.

Execution

Participants produce deliverables and attach evidence.

Verification

Policies evaluate proof and determine completion.

Settlement

Commercial or contractual completion is recorded.

Workflow overlays

Popular human workflows, mapped directly onto the protocol.

These examples show how familiar real-world workflows overlay cleanly on the same Poiva stages: the protocol stays stable while each domain keeps its own language and operational detail.

Core principles

Infrastructure-grade rules for interoperable execution.

Poiva is intentionally opinionated about the lifecycle and deliberately neutral about implementation details.

Outcome over activity
Evidence over trust
Capability over role
Protocol before platform
Vendor neutrality
Human and AI parity
Extensible core
Event-driven history
Backwards compatibility
Ecosystem

One protocol, many implementations.

Poiva sits beneath products rather than replacing them. Internal workforce platforms, marketplaces, orchestration engines, and AI tooling can all speak the same protocol while remaining implementation-independent.

Developer experience

Interfaces for builders, operators, and AI systems.

The protocol can be consumed through SDKs, CLI workflows, MCP, APIs, and event streams. Each interface keeps the lifecycle and evidence model intact.

poiva mission create
poiva capability search
poiva evidence attach
poiva verify

const mission = await poiva.missions.create(...)
verification = client.verifications.evaluate(...)

assistant.submitDeliverable(...)

Open source posture

Poiva is designed to stay open, vendor-neutral, and extensible across many implementations.

Public roadmap

The work starts with the specification, then expands into SDKs, CLI, MCP, cloud references, and federation.

Community-first governance

Protocol evolution belongs in public discussion so compatibility and neutrality stay intact over time.

Final call

Help build the future of work execution.

If work should be portable, verifiable, and open, Poiva is the protocol surface designed to make that future real.
