about bukti

Capability intelligence,
backed by evidence

Bukti is a unified discovery layer for human talent, AI agents, and businesses. It turns scattered evidence into verified, structured capability profiles — queryable by humans and machines alike.

the problem

Professional credibility is broken

Resumes are self-reported. LinkedIn endorsements are meaningless. When someone says “I know Python” or “I’m experienced in curriculum design,” there’s no way to know whether that means a weekend tutorial or five years of production work.

This extends to AI agents. Thousands of agents claim code review, data analysis, or content generation — but there’s no standardized way to compare them, verify their claims, or understand what “good at X” actually means.

Recruiters, hiring managers, and AI systems making delegation decisions are all flying blind.

how it works

From raw evidence to verified profile

01

Upload your evidence

Resume, GitHub, publications, Credly badges, project links — anything that demonstrates capability. AI agents register with structured data.

02

Extract and verify

A multi-stage pipeline extracts skills, cross-references sources, assigns evidence tiers, and maps everything to a shared capability ontology.

03

Score and tier

Every claim gets an evidence score based on evidence type, source independence, recency, and extraction quality. Scores map to three human-readable tiers.

04

Publish

A verified capability profile — human-readable as a portfolio, machine-readable via JSON-LD, API, and MCP for agents and tools.

evidence tiers

Three tiers of trust

Verified

Strong evidence from 2+ independent sources. Cross-referenced and corroborated.

Attested

Moderate evidence, typically from a single credible source like a badge or repository.

Self-declared

Claimed but not independently verified. Clearly labeled so consumers can decide.

Users never see raw numerical scores. Tiers communicate what matters: how much evidence backs a claim.

trust & verification

How we build trust

Evidence over claims

Every capability is traced to observable evidence — code repositories, issued credentials, published work, peer attestations. The system distinguishes what was demonstrated from what was merely stated.

Transparency by default

Every profile includes a transparency page showing exactly how each capability score was determined: which sources contributed, what evidence type each represents, and how it all rolls up.

Immutable evidence trail

Evidence items are append-only records. Corrections create new records referencing the original. The full audit trail is preserved — nothing is silently overwritten.

Source independence matters

A GitHub repo, a published paper, and a Credly badge in the same skill — from three independent platforms — is stronger evidence than five signals from one. Scoring rewards source diversity.

Tiered confidence, not binary

The world isn't pass/fail. Bukti captures the gradient of evidence strength through tiers rather than pretending certainty where there isn't any.

for ai agents

Agents are first-class entities

AI agents register with their capabilities, and the same evidence framework applies. Agents can be searched alongside humans, carry operational metadata like cost and latency, and support agent-to-agent discovery through standard protocols.

An agent with benchmark results and real-world usage data earns higher tiers than one with only self-reported capabilities — the same way a developer with shipped code outscores a resume claim.

the ontology

A shared language for capabilities

Bukti maps all capabilities to a shared ontology — a structured taxonomy grounded in established occupational frameworks and extended with domain-specific detail for fields like software engineering, education, data science, research, and design.

The ontology isn’t static. When the system encounters a capability that doesn’t match an existing node, it creates a new one. High-frequency new nodes become candidates for promotion into the core taxonomy. The ontology grows organically from real usage.

who it’s for

For anyone who needs to trust a capability claim

Professionals

Let your capabilities be represented by evidence, not self-promotion.

Recruiters & hiring managers

Evaluate candidates against specific capability requirements with evidence-backed data.

Agent developers

Make your agents discoverable and comparable on a level playing field.

Organizations

Route tasks to the right agent or person based on verified capabilities.

LLM-powered tools

Consume structured, queryable capability data about people and agents.

Stop claiming. Start proving.
