From intent to receipt

A purchase and a payment have different lifecycles. TilcAI aims to connect them while distinguishing authorization, settlement and fulfillment.

  1. Intent

    The person requests a product or service. The principal and acting agent are identified.

  2. Verifiable offer

    The business confirms price, availability, expiry and payment destination. The model does not invent terms.

  3. Validation and policy

    Identity, recipient, limits and offer version are checked. ALLOW is not a signature.

  4. Exact authorization

    The owner approves amount, asset, network, recipient and expiry through a trusted signer.

  5. Payment and reconciliation

    An idempotent attempt follows an enabled route. A timeout is investigated before retrying.

  6. Receipt and fulfillment

    The financial receipt proves settlement. Business confirmation proves booking or delivery.

Paid does not mean delivered. Cancellation, refund and dispute resolution need their own commercial rules.

Availability depends on your instance. Check /health and /v1/routes before integrating.
