USING THE EVALUATION KIT
Getting Started
01
Download the Evaluation Kit
Evaluation Prompt: The calibrated instructions that direct an AI model through the evaluation: which entity to confirm, which rules apply, and in what order to check them.
Public Methodology Guide: Defines what each criterion evaluates, what counts as evidence, and how a finding is reached.
Jurisdiction Registry Index: Identifies the authoritative public sources to check for each criterion, across the 18 reference jurisdictions the xGTT Standard draws on.
Criteria Provenance: Shows the specific law, regulation, standard, or established practice each criterion is grounded in.
Illustrative Example: A complete, criterion-by-criterion evaluation of a fictional company, showing what a finished report looks like.
02
Select a Company and Run the Evaluation
Identify the company you want to evaluate. Within the Evaluation Prompt, provide the company’s name and website. Upload the meticulously-worded Prompt and the rest of the documents in the Evaluation Kit to an AI model with web access and the ability to follow long, multi-step instructions, then run the Evaluation Prompt. The evaluation first confirms the entity and determines which rules apply. It then checks the applicable Red-Line Disqualifiers and evaluates each applicable criterion using current, publicly verifiable evidence.
03
Review the Evidence and Apply the Findings
The result is a criterion-by-criterion evaluation with the evidence behind each finding. Sources are linked so the report can be independently checked, challenged, or reproduced. xGTT does not produce a single score or ranking. The evaluation provides a common, evidence-based foundation. Users apply the Standard independently, according to their own needs, responsibilities, and authority.
Legal Status & Claims Guide
An xGTT evaluation is a sourced set of findings against a public standard. It is not any of the following:
A regulatory finding or government action.
An audit opinion or attestation.
A legal conclusion or adjudication.
An investment recommendation.
An export-control determination.
A product-performance certification.
An xGTT evaluation carries no force of law. The Krach Institute publishes and maintains the Standard; it does not conduct, issue, endorse, or adjudicate evaluations of individual companies. Because the Institute issues no company-specific outputs of its own, there is no Institute finding to appeal or challenge — any evaluation is the output of the party that ran it, under its own authority, and any dispute about a specific evaluation's findings or sourcing lies with that party. A company may reference its own xGTT evaluation results consistent with the actual findings and sourcing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is xGTT?
The Global Trusted Tech Standard (xGTT) is an open governance standard that defines a shared, publicly verifiable basis for assessing the trustworthiness of companies operating in Critical and Emerging Technology (CET) sectors. Trusted technology, in xGTT's terms, is technology whose design, development, and supply chains are rooted in democratic values that advance freedom, and whose adoption fosters accountable relationships among like-minded partners rather than dependence on opaque or coercive actors. xGTT is governance infrastructure — a common architecture that governments, enterprises, and institutions apply under their own authority. It is explicitly not a badge, seal, mark, label, or certification system. The Krach Institute owns the architecture. Applying authorities operate it.
