Agent-Ready Market Infrastructure: Verified Representation, Computational Eligibility, and Global Market Access in AI-Mediated Economies

This working paper introduces Agent-Ready Market Infrastructure as an emerging category of economic infrastructure for AI-mediated markets. As artificial agents increasingly mediate discovery, comparison, ranking, verification, negotiation, and transaction initiation, market participation will depend not only on being online, but on being represented in forms that machines can interpret and act upon.

The paper defines Agent-Ready Market Infrastructure as the institutional, technical, and representational layer that enables economic entities, assets, and services to become discoverable, interpretable, comparable, verifiable, permissioned, and transaction-capable for AI agents operating across jurisdictions.

It introduces the Agent-Readiness Index (ARI) and the Global Agent-Readiness Index (GARI), linking agent-readiness to jurisdictional legibility, semantic portability, Representation Capital, Computational Eligibility, and global market access. Real estate is examined as a critical test case because property markets are high-value, document-heavy, jurisdiction-dependent, trust-sensitive, and globally comparable.

The paper also argues that Verified Property Records should function as universal, persistent, verifiable, and portable infrastructure for AI-mediated real estate markets, reducing fragmentation, duplicated verification costs, and dependency on closed platforms or foreign AI intermediaries.
