The Canonical3 Layer
for AI Data

Transform raw, fragmented inputs into canonical, agent-ready intelligence. The missing primitive for the AI agent economy.

Executive Layer

Canonical Schema

Abstract

The AI agent economy requires a universal data foundation. Today’s data is unstructured, inconsistent, and incompatible across systems. Canonical3 introduces the Canonical Layer : a normalization framework for transforming documents, datasets, and sensor signals into canonical, queryable, interoperable intelligence.

The Reality of AI Failure

AI agents depend entirely on the data they consume. While models have advanced rapidly, the data feeding them has not. There is no universal schema, no consistent normalization, no canonical layer.

The Canonical Gap

UNSTRUCTURED

Fragmented Knowledge

Operational knowledge lives in PDFs, slides, and emails without typed attributes or lineage.

Sensor Chaos

GPS and IoT feeds produce raw signals lacking canonical semantics or context.

Canonical3

The universal primitive. Normalizes inputs before they touch compute or models.

Canonical3 unifies the stack by providing the trusted memory layer for all upstream agents.

Tokenized Incentive Layer

Creators of canonical datasets receive perpetual reward flows. Each query generates token-based yield routed to canonical data owners, creating a self-sustaining economy of high-quality intelligence.
