Overview

Automostly is an open badge service for per-artefact AI workflow autonomy ratings. A publisher registers their workflow and submits per-artefact autonomy scores — one score per applicable dimension — and receives a badge for that artefact. The badge embeds on any website as a small visual. Clicking it opens a popup showing the full radar graph of all dimensions, the Autonomy Index in the center, plus the artefact name and description.

Tagline: "One score. Ten dimensions. A verifiable production profile."

The standard is AI-capability forward: a higher score means more of the production workflow was executed autonomously by AI. Not a warning. Not a disclosure obligation. A demonstration of what AI workflows can do.

Embedding a badge

Drop two lines into any HTML page:

<script src="https://automostly.org/js/widget.js"></script> <span data-automostly-id="YOUR_ARTEFACT_UUID"></span>

The widget loads asynchronously, finds all elements with a data-automostly-id attribute, and renders the badge SVG. Clicking the badge opens a popup with the full radar chart. The widget loads D3 v7 dynamically from CDN if not already present.

You can also reference a badge SVG directly:

<img src="https://automostly.org/api/artefacts/YOUR_UUID.svg" width="300" height="80" alt="Automostly badge">

Dimension vocabulary

Scale: 0 = fully human, 5 = fully AI autonomous. Scores represent the pipeline's current operational level, not its ceiling. Mark a dimension N/A when it is not part of your workflow — it is excluded from the Autonomy Index and rendered as a grayed-out axis on the radar.

Score scale

Autonomy Index = average of all applicable (non-N/A) dimensions, range 0.0–5.0. Displayed as 0–10 (raw × 2) to match the badge visual.

N/A handling: dimensions not relevant to a pipeline are excluded from the score and rendered as a grayed-out dashed axis on the radar chart.

JSON-LD schema

Every artefact record returned by /api/artefacts/:id/data is valid JSON-LD. Embed it in your HTML for structured data indexing:

<script type="application/ld+json"> { "@context": "https://automostly.org/schema/v1", "@type": "AutomostlyBadge", "artefactId": "…", "artefactName": "…", "description": "…", "artefactUrl": null, "workflow": "…", "dimensions": [ { "id": "source-extraction", "level": 5, "applicable": true }, … ], "autonomyIndex": 3.78, "autonomyIndexDisplay": 7.6, "verified": true, "createdAt": "2026-10-17T12:00:00.000Z" } </script>

Verified vs self-declared

Verified badges are generated programmatically by the workflow itself via API key authentication (Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY>). The API key is issued per account and held only by the publisher's own system.

Self-declared badges are submitted via the web form using a session JWT. Both are valid; the visual distinction lets readers distinguish machine-generated attestation from manual submission.
