Founder, Everyday AI Ltd. Measurement methodology and non-custodial infrastructure for agent-to-agent payments, across payment rails.

Measuring and cataloguing capabilities, pricing, and friction across the new agentic-payment rails: x402, AP2, the Machine Payments Protocol, PayPal Agentic, and others emerging. The method is published and pre-registered, and the first named-rail findings are published as measurements, with no ranking. The gateway never holds funds.

The friction in agent-to-agent commerce sits above the rails, not inside them.

Building an agent that pays? I'm studying where agent payments break: finding a price, paying, settling, getting a receipt. If your agent pays for an API, data or a tool today, I'd like to hear what got in the way. Twenty minutes, your experience, no pitch.

Weighing payment rails for an organisation's agent programme? The measurement is published and neutral; I can walk through what it tells you and what it does not.
