A buyer-side council of large retail operators. We set the standards autonomous AI must meet before it touches a transaction desk. We do not sell software, endorse vendors, or buy as a block.
Every vendor you already pay is shipping an "AI agent," and a wave of startups is selling overlapping ones. Four problems follow.
Isolated agents from your CRM, DMS or listing platform, website, and agency that cannot share context.
Usage and token models where one long buyer journey runs up an unpredictable bill.
You train a vendor's agent on your margins and rules, then can't take that logic anywhere else.
A rogue agent quote creates real liability, and most vendors give you no audit trail or control.
Because members compete, this scope is an antitrust requirement. Counsel sets the rules before the first working session.
A vendor is scored against this before it earns access to the transaction desk. Three of the five are pass-or-fail.
Open APIs, your choice of underlying model, no single-vendor stack.
Tied to results you care about, not open-ended token volume.
Your data and trained logic stay yours and can leave without penalty.
Exportable audit logs, least-privilege scopes, control over what each agent touches.
Hard limits and a human checkpoint before any high-exposure action.
No fixed size threshold. Founders admit members by reputation and fit. The test is whether you run high-ticket, high-consideration buyer journeys in automotive, real estate, or home services, and will contribute to the standards work rather than only consume it. Founding members shape the standard so it reflects how you actually run, including the F&I and licensing realities vendors gloss over.
