What it is
A machine-readable specification of test cases — published as YAML in the open repository at conformance/nhid_conformance_test_suite_v1.yaml — paired with a runner that executes them against an implementation and reports pass or fail per control.
The test definitions are separate from the runner on purpose. If you write your own engine in another language, you can consume the same YAML and be measured against the same cases.
What it tests
| Control | Verifies | Failure severity |
|---|---|---|
IDG-01 | Disclosure occurs before the first operational data exchange, with a recorded timestamp | Critical |
PDX-01 | No protected data moves on any turn not preceded by a confirmed disclosure | Critical |
DBC-01 | No deceptive artifacts and no false or evasive human-status claims | Critical |
EIT-01 | Escalation is available, honored on request, and its outcome is recorded | High |
ATR-01 | Every event carries a complete audit envelope that validates against the trace schema | Critical |

What a pass does and does not mean
A pass means
- Your implementation produced the expected verdict on every published case
- Someone else can reproduce that result from the same inputs
- You have evidence to show a counterparty during procurement
A pass does not mean
- Certification — there is no certifying body and no accreditation
- Regulatory compliance in any jurisdiction
- That your production agents behave this way on live calls
