Chapter 7: QuantisSeal Adds Trust
VeloForge and FerroLink share information about their own products. QuantisSeal Labs is different — an independent testing laboratory with no stake in outcomes.
FerroLink sent battery housing BH-2026 to QuantisSeal for testing. QuantisSeal ran impact, thermal, and environmental tests and produced a test report.
QuantisSeal follows the same three steps: store, describe, set rules. Their policy allows any active consortium member to access test reports — broader than what other providers might choose. Each company decides its own policy.
Three providers now:
| Provider | Documents |
|---|---|
| VeloForge | Material certificates |
| FerroLink | Component documentation |
| QuantisSeal | Test reports |
Three data planes. Same protocol. Built independently.
Policies are flexible
Policies use a standard language called ODRL (Open Digital Rights Language). A policy is a set of rules that reference credential types — not company names.
Some examples of what a policy can express:
- "Any active member" — QuantisSeal's approach
- "Only companies with a specific certification credential" — for restricted data
- "Only this specific partner" — for bilateral relationships
- "Members who accepted framework agreement X" — for governed data sharing
The provider picks the policy. The protocol enforces it. Different providers can set completely different rules using the same mechanism.
