Tacit Source licenses human know-how to machines
Tacit Source presents a commercial system for licensing one named operator’s way of working to machines, with consent, attribution, hourly metering, and withdrawal built into the model.
Field notes
The proposed operating chain separates capture, registry, release, and counting rather than treating a person’s practice as an undifferentiated dataset. The site says each licensed contribution remains addressable by name, carries provenance through every hour, and can be ended independently. Its consent section specifies four permissions, while its audit language describes checking the count at source from both sides. The homepage does not expose a registry or machine interface, so the mechanism is presented as a specification and licensing offer.
