PPP Industry Templates

Published March 2026

How to Use These Templates

PPP represents the meaning of the beholder. These templates are starting points, not requirements. Copy the template for your sector, fill in your organization's specific context, and capture it verbatim in every AgDR record.

The standard only requires that your definition is:

1. Written down before the agent acts
2. Captured atomically at every inference instant
3. Honest: it reflects what you actually believe

How to Extend These Templates

These templates are starting points. Every organization should:

1. Customize: replace {placeholders} with your specific values
2. Version: maintain a version history of your PPP definitions as policy changes
3. Register: store the authoritative PPP definition document as an AgDR record itself
4. Train: ensure every person in the human delta chain understands what PPP means for your organization
5. Audit: periodically review whether captured PPP values match the definitions
