How It Works

How a job flows through RigidFlow.

1

Capability Certification

Shop lists machine capability via RigidSense Certification Pack. Tolerance, material, cycle time, and QC data are logged and certified. No self-reported specs. Verified sensor data only.

2

AI Job Matching

A job enters RigidFlow with geometry requirements and tolerance specs. RigidAI matches the job to certified shop capability profiles. Geography, past performance, and machine type all factor in.

3

Zero-Knowledge Broadcast

The job is broadcast to matched shops. Shops see requirements and complexity rating. Proprietary geometry is never transmitted at this stage. IP is protected until engagement is confirmed.

4

Engagement Confirmation

Matched shop accepts the job. Full work package is transmitted via encrypted channel. Transmission is logged to RigidVault with timestamp and consent record.

5

Work and Milestone Confirmation

Work is completed. Delivery is confirmed by both parties via structured milestone check. Neither side can release escrow unilaterally.

6

Escrow Release

Escrow releases on confirmed delivery. Payment clears within 48 hours. RigidRoyalty calculates any creator payments if contributed designs or templates were used in the job.

7

Provenance Logged to RigidVault

Completed job is logged to sovereign storage. Provenance record includes shop identity, machine used, OEE data, quality record, and any IP usage. The job becomes part of the shop’s verifiable capability history.

Proof of Concept

The pattern already works. We proved it before a single shop signed up.

The RigidAI Module Store launched with 138 intelligence modules across 8 pillars. Customers filter by capability family, sovereignty tier, and deployment model. Modules are matched to needs, priced by tier, and tracked by status. That is the RigidFlow engine — running live, at scale, on AI capabilities instead of machine time. The marketplace isn’t theoretical. It’s already operating.

Core Innovation

How Zero-Knowledge Streaming Works

“Capability-based matching means the best shop wins. Not the biggest.”

The manufacturer never possesses the CAD file. The creator's IP is never exposed. Both get paid.

1

Creator Uploads

Design file enters RigidVault. Digital Birth Certificate issued. File never leaves sovereign storage.

2

AI Converts

RigidAI converts design into encrypted motion code. Toolpath is machine-readable but not human-reversible.

3

Shop Executes

Manufacturer's RigidPulse receives encrypted motion stream. Machine cuts the part. Shop never sees the CAD geometry.

4

Both Get Paid

Creator earns licensing revenue. Manufacturer earns production revenue. IP was never at risk. RigidSense verifies quality.

Capability-Based Matching

Jobs matched to shops based on verified machine capabilities, sensor data, and track record — not pay-to-play advertising. A 2-person shop gets the same visibility as a 200-person facility.

Local-First Dispatch

Geographic proximity prioritized first. Keep money in local economies. Reduce shipping. Algorithm published and audited annually — no hidden boosts, no favorites.

Brand & Creator Goods

The KI Store is RigidFlow’s third vertical. Sovereign AI philosophy on a shirt. The Nine Bills of Rights as a parchment poster. The founding heritage as a print. Every item carries the story into a new room. Print-on-demand, zero inventory, margin to KI.

Zero-Knowledge Premium

+5% surcharge

Zero-knowledge streaming for maximum IP protection. Creator's design never leaves RigidVault. Manufacturer never sees geometry.

Ecosystem Position

Where sovereign intelligence becomes sovereign commerce.

Every pillar in the KI ecosystem generates a signal. RigidSense proves machine capability. RigidVault holds the production record. RigidAI matches the job. RigidUniversity verifies the worker. RigidFlow is where all of those signals converge into a transaction — and every transaction feeds back into the intelligence layer.

The Full Pipeline

RigidUniversity trains them. RigidFlow deploys them. RigidRoyalty pays them.

The three pillars of the KI workforce economy form a single connected pipeline — from credential to placement to ongoing earnings.

RigidUniversity

Train

Student completes AI-augmented curriculum. Adaptive pacing. Hands-on CNC and AI modules. RigidCredential issued on completion. Credential is portable, employer-readable, and never expires.

RigidUniversity →
RigidFlow

Place

RigidCredential activates job matching in RigidFlow. AI pairs demonstrated skill to open shop capacity. Escrow protects both sides of every engagement. Remote placement is first-class — not an accommodation.

RigidRoyalty

Earn

Workers earn wages from placed jobs. If they contributed a process template, design, or G-code library that gets used in a job, RigidRoyalty calculates and pays their share quarterly. Their data and IP stay sovereign.

RigidRoyalty →
Healthcare Vertical

Credentialed clinical staff — the same matching, a specialized pool.

As behavioral health networks deploy RigidNode Healthcare Edition, they need staff credentialed in sovereign AI documentation, consent management, and sovereignty audit interpretation. RigidUniversity issues the clinical AI operations credential. RigidFlow matches credential holders to network deployment openings. The same zero-knowledge, escrow-protected matching that serves CNC shops serves healthcare networks — with a specialized credential pool.

IP Protection

Your geometry never travels without your permission.

Zero-knowledge job streaming means shops see what a job requires. They never see how you designed it — until you say so.

Requirements Only

When a job enters RigidFlow, matched shops receive a capability-matched requirements summary: tolerances, materials, quantities, cycle time estimates. No drawings. No CAD files. No geometry.

Encrypted Transfer on Engagement

Only after both parties confirm engagement does the work package transfer. The transfer is encrypted, logged to RigidVault with timestamp and consent record, and traceable if there is ever a dispute.

ITAR-Adjacent Capability

For defense contractors handling controlled technical data, the zero-knowledge layer means shop capability is verified without ever exposing controlled drawings to unvetted parties. Engagement confirmation triggers a documented transfer event with full chain of custody.

RigidTrust enforces the zero-knowledge architecture at the platform level. No configuration, no setting, and no admin action can route job geometry to an unconfirmed shop. The protection is structural.

Materials Intelligence

RigidReserve — Supply intelligence built into the marketplace.

RigidReserve gives every shop on RigidFlow real-time visibility into material availability, pricing signals, and demand patterns — without leaving the platform. Inventory management, supplier history, and demand forecasting as a native capability inside the marketplace.

Inventory Intelligence

Real-time material availability across the RigidFlow network.

Demand Signals

Forecasting based on active job flow and historical patterns.

Supplier History

Preferred vendor tracking and cost benchmarking per shop.

Creator Economics

RigidRoyalty — Creators earn when their work creates value.

Every design, template, CAD file, G-code library, and process tool contributed to RigidFlow generates royalty payments when it is used by other shops. RigidRoyalty is the accounting and payment layer — transparent, auditable, quarterly.

Per-Use Royalties

Payment triggered every time a contributed asset is used in a job.

Transparent Accounting

Full quarterly statement showing every use event and payment calculation.

Consent-Based

Creators set their own terms. RigidRoyalty enforces them.

The Founding Publisher

Every platform needs a first creator. Ours is 13 years old.

Liam Kavanagh, Director of Technology Assets at Kavanagh Industries and founder of Titan Tech Scans, is learning Unreal Engine. When his first game is ready to ship, it will distribute through RigidMarket — the first third-party title on the platform. RigidContext-aware games can access the player’s local world — photos, heritage scans, real locations — with explicit consent, generating a story no other player has ever experienced. RigidRoyalty pays Liam every time his game is played. His data stays sovereign. His revenue terms are fixed. The platform cannot pull his title or change the split.

RigidMarket — Sovereign Distribution

Creators own the customer relationship. Fixed commission. No deplatforming. No algorithm changing what gets surfaced.

RigidRoyalty — Transparent Earnings

Every play, every use, every derivative generates a royalty event. Full accounting quarterly. The creator sees every number.
