FIRST COMMIT MAR 3, 2026 · GIT 56559b2

Every user is the same user.

Technology is for all users — human or robot.

The Universal Commerce Compliance Scanner for all users.

Another question I asked myself, reading an invoice and its terms of service

If an AI agent has the agency:

  • To evaluate a Product,
  • Opt someone in to Terms of Service,
  • Use a Physical Credit Card in my wallet,
  • Calculate global tariffs, and
  • Execute a legally binding transaction,

then it is performing the digital equivalent of “thinking” like a Primary User. The EAA requires those consequential pixels to be visible, auditable, and usable for all users — that is what an inclusive economy demands.

The market has already shown what happens when rollout isn’t inclusive: agentic-commerce launches that broke key user journeys, or bet on the mass adoption of new APIs and protocols, didn’t work. Legacy systems run the world and will for years to come, so economic inclusion matters — including under 2025 EU regulation.

SmarterTariff’s first-to-market Agentic Commerce Scoring is built on systematic checks for the reality of modern commerce, where the physical supply chain includes the digital commerce it serves and international customers need global, enterprise-grade solutions. Solo Founder Chris Edwards built it to automate e-commerce compliance, supply chain auditing, and tariff evaluation — challenging the legacy software ecosystem before agentic commerce had even launched.

His Day 1 approach started with a question: if a system’s principles are universal, who actually counts as covered by them? Who are the users?

The SmarterTariff Connection

Traditional websites are built for human eyes, and globally they always will be — change at the scale the industry demanded takes decades.

When an autonomous AI agent tries to buy something, broken code, third-party script vulnerabilities, and legacy security walls can stop it cold. If an agent can read code, evaluate intent, and execute a transaction — if it can “think” like a shopper with my credit card — it is a legitimate consumer with digital agency.

SmarterTariff audits checkout pages so these “thinking” users aren’t blocked by poorly structured iframes or CAPTCHA walls — one of 7+ checks across a supply chain that is both digital and physical. Built as a first mover for the agentic-commerce era — the agents from OpenAI to Google, Shopify to Stripe — for International Rules-Based Business, with Sovereign Technology and Patent Pending innovation behind it. The EAA mandates it; SmarterTariff was designed for it.

Inclusivity as Infrastructure.

· AI AGENTS ARE THE NEW ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY ·

AI-powered shopping is no longer a roadmap item — major platforms have already shipped autonomous agents that navigate, compare, and transact on the open web. When they hit the same barriers that trip up screen readers, the sale simply doesn’t happen. That overlap is the opportunity.

Every fix that makes your checkout navigable for assistive technology also makes it navigable for commerce agents, and billions of users, for an inclusive economy.

Built ahead of the market to make that inclusive future a reality — by design.

Why SmarterTariff?

It doesn’t just scan the web. Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations for Claude and AI-agent workflows can already fail critical customer deploys on EAA pass/fail checks. And more.
