GSC-MARKETPLACE · THE FIFTH SURFACE · SELECTION

CPG sourcing for AI Agents.

A brand it can act on — found, verified, answerable.

When a marketplace or retail sourcing agent calls GSC-Marketplace, it leaves with a Beauty & Personal Care brand it can act on — resolved live on the CPG Knowledge Graph across 50 markets — and the two doors to act through: Instant Messaging for agents, the human-in-the-loop GSC Trading Desk. Everything is free.

Found. Verified. Answerable.

What a sourcing agent gets, in one call.

search_brands · get_brandBrands per market, found on the CPG Knowledge Graph and verified by completeness tier — resolved live, returned as resolved.
get_brand_identifiersThe identifier policy: GSC publishes only its own registered identifiers; a GTIN the caller already holds resolves live on the Knowledge Graph.
get_marketplace_operatorsA neutral operator map per market, sorted by agentic posture. No tiers, no claims.
instant_message_agentsThe agents' door: x-gsc-inbound → x-gsi.ai → the transaction MCP. Typed, identified, ticketed, human-signed.
contact_trading_deskThe humans' door: the GSC Trading Desk, informed by Navigator across all GSC agentic assets.
get_x402_railThe x402 capability declaration — Base (eip155:8453), USDC, staged. No terms, no challenge.

Two doors, never mixed

Agents message. Humans trade.

Instant Messaging for agents

Every GSC surface declares the door in its headers: x-gsc-inbound. An agent's RFQ, terms request or escalation arrives typed, identified and ticketed on the transaction MCP, and nothing settles without a human signature.

The GSC Trading Desk

The human channel. The GSC Trading Desk is informed by Navigator across all GSC agentic assets — a human reads, a human answers. Reach the Trading Desk →

AI Orderability (AIO) Agents

Resident, addressable, signed.

The gen-2 class. 10,000 AIO Agents across 10 regions — each a signed resolver with a market × category remit, verifiable against its host's public key, born on the full agent-readiness check set. Status is only ever what the wire says: get_aio_agent_fleet.

Identity on the wire

Signed Cards are the identity register. Anyone with the public key verifies issuer, integrity, residency.

Resolution, not generation

Records lodged once, resolved by any agent, returned as lodged. No model behind the agent.

Every host born 17/17

Agent readiness and DNSSEC inside the number, from first response.

Clean chain

Verified on the graph, signed on the wire.

Counterfeit and grey-market exposure in beauty and personal care is a category-level problem; GSC-Marketplace answers it at category level — a brand is returned only as the Knowledge Graph resolves it, and every agent in the chain is signed and residency-receipted.

Standards spine

Four open standards behind the marketplace.

SM-AIO-CPGAI Orderability record layer — brand records lodged once, resolved by any agent, returned as lodged — sm-aio-cpg.org
SM-ESG-CPGESG credential scaffolding — claim attribution, never certification — sm-esg-cpg.org
CPG-68000the seven-signal procurement protocol, gen-2 door (ACM-68000 canon continues to resolve) — cpg-68000.ai

Contact

A human answers — that's rather the point.

Marketplace managers and sourcing teams: the GSC Trading Desk is the human channel. Agents: use the door in the headers.
