Why sustainability tracing sells more products
Quality tracing builds high-trust product histories in JSON-LD. Trustworthy data is the gold standard for LLM product discovery and agentic sales.
Recording work and impact data on mobile phones makes tracing, market access, and product histories byproducts of making. Working this way avoids costs, reduces uncertainty, and forms a new baseline for brand trust.
We build deterministic products, services, events, and measurements for the new world where execution is cheap and verification is the new bottleneck.

Resale3
Durable product histories make second-hand fashion and collectables more circular, trusted, and valuable.
Blockchain, database, and AI DPPs are sunk costs because they only work inside their own ecosystem and break at resale, repair, transfer, and transformation. They create expensive problems that don't have to exist. Resale3 frees product history to work in the resale economy.
Resale is growing faster than retail. AI discovery changes how products get found. Second-hand buyers and sustainability need better quality signals. Resale3 QRs capture and carry product history to wherever you want to go next.
- 1.Describe the item in your own words.
- 2.Import existing digital records.
- 3.Add repair, refurbishment, and ownership updates over time.
- 4.Use the QR to support product value.

Paste any description — auction notes, label text, anything. AI extracts the structured fields.
Has a QR code or product URL? Pull in data from Aura, GS1, Certilogo, or any product registry.
One QR travels with the item through every future sale, repair, transfer, and owner.
Shopify
Blockchain, database, and AI product records are sunk costs. They work inside their own ecosystem and break the moment the product is resold, repaired, or passed on. Economy3 generates open, permanent product records that follow the object, not the platform.
AI agents are replacing search as the primary way products get found. When a buyer asks an AI to find handmade cotton clothing from a verified maker, it reads structured data — not product descriptions. Economy3 publishes your Shopify catalog as machine-readable records that AI agents find, cite, and sell from.
The EU requires a digital product record for every textile by 2027 and every piece of furniture by 2028. Economy3 builds it as a natural result of getting your products found today.
- 1.Connect your Shopify catalog.
- 2.Add material, origin, and maker details.
- 3.Get a permanent QR and AI-readable product record.
- 4.Your EU product record is ready.
JSON-LD is the new SEO.
Shopify
Add material, origin, and maker to your Shopify products. Economy3 generates a permanent resolver page, a QR code, and structured data — instantly.
Your product record lives at a permanent URL. Scannable. Linkable. Found by AI agents. Works whether the product sells, transfers, or leaves Shopify entirely.
Add certifications, care instructions, and supplier confirmations over time. Your EU product passport and global trade credentials are generated automatically.
The problem
Why current systems fail
The ESPR requires Digital Product Passports to use open, interoperable, machine-readable, structured and searchable data with no vendor lock-in.
Most current DPP systems are sunk-costs-in-progress. Centralized databases, permissioned blockchains, and JSON/JSON-RPC systems trap records and break continuity across systems, through handoffs and transformations. They are problematic for big firms, unworkable for MSMEs, and unethical for the Global South.
Once continuity breaks, firms have to rebuild records continuously. That raises the cost of creating, sharing, verifying, and using product records. Recurring reconstruction and inference mistakes keep overhead high and make these systems sunk costs in progress. In multi-agent environments, unverified records become uninsurable liabilities.

What we do and why it matters.
The thesis, rigorously
Most platforms use the wrong code
EU businesses misallocate Green Deal spending on DPPs, climate audits, and reporting because they treat compliance as tasks. Most current solutions rely on JSON and JSON-RPC, even though ESPR specifies JSON-LD, the W3C standard.¹ AI purchasing agents read the same format. These choices turn the work into sunk costs. One record in the right format satisfies regulators in every jurisdiction and gets found by every AI agent.

AI commerce rewards the signed record
Agentic purchasing agents verify structured product data without exposing the buyer's context window.² sv — the verifiable share of agentic output — expands with cryptographic provenance.
² Catalini, Cremer, Tucker (2025) §4.2 · sv defined at §2.1
Provenance becomes scarcity
In infinite synthetic production, the provenance-verified product is the scarce one.³ The maker who signs their work gains a durable advantage that no synthetic can replicate.
³ Catalini, Cremer, Tucker (2025) §6.1.2 — The Provenance Premium
One format.
Two problems solved.
The strategic path uses climate compliance as sustainable competitive advantage. It starts with signing your work. Verified products capture buyer intent, discovery, and conversion in regular and agentic search² — a pre-condition for the $3–5T agentic economy.
In agentics, using new technology to speed up old systems, you fall further behind. Verified products capture buyer intent, discovery, and conversion in agentic search. The $3–5T opportunity goes to signed records.²
The choice: strategic flexibility, robust permissioned data, and agentic prosperity. Or structural blindness, sunk costs, and the continued funding of negative externalities in informal value chains. Economy3 is built on the right standard — open source, no lock-in, works from a phone in Bikaner to a customs registry in Brussels.

Permissioned integrity moves competitive advantage closer to the people who create the world's most beautiful and delicious things, unlocks the $3–5 trillion agentic economy, and stops AI from shoplifting the future.
