score

Your organisation's AI knowledge, in a format that travels.

Most organisations deploying AI are building on sand. Is yours?

SCORE FORMAT The open standard. Defines how knowledge is written down. YOUR ORGANISATION The Composer. Authors skill files. Defines what AI should know and howit should behave. skill file skill file skill file skill file THE ORCHESTRA Any AI tool that reads Score skill files. Interchangeable.

The problem

AI tools are increasingly capable. The knowledge that makes them useful to your organisation specifically, your standards, your approach, the context that reflects how you actually work, is a different matter.

Right now, that knowledge lives inside a vendor's platform. It was configured there, it runs there, and if you ever want to change provider, run an audit, or simply understand what your AI was told to do on a given date, the honest answer is usually that you cannot find out easily.

The problem is one of design. Knowledge and execution have been bundled together when they should be separate. Score separates them.


What Score does

Score gives your organisation a way to encode what your AI should know and how it should behave, in a format you own and control.

That knowledge lives in files that belong to you, sit in systems you already manage, and travel with you regardless of which AI tools you use. When your requirements change, you update your knowledge. When a better model becomes available, you switch without rebuilding from scratch. When a regulator asks what your AI was permitted to say six months ago, you have a verifiable answer rather than an educated guess.

Score is an open standard, published under the MIT licence. It is free to use, free to build on, and owned by nobody.


The principle

Score uses the language of music as its organising metaphor.

The Scorethe format: the standard that defines how knowledge is written down.
The Partsthe individual pieces of knowledge your organisation authors.
The Composeryour organisation, deciding what the AI should know and how it should behave.
The Orchestrathe AI tools that read those parts and perform them.

Orchestras are interchangeable. The Score remains.


Who it is for

Score is relevant to any organisation that is deploying AI and wants to retain control of the knowledge that drives it.

In regulated industries — financial services, legal, healthcare, and professional services — the governance and audit questions carry real consequences. Score provides the structure to answer them. For organisations outside regulated sectors, the case is simpler: the knowledge your AI draws on is a strategic asset, and strategic assets should not live inside someone else's system.
