Standard

Kronos Standard (Kronoid Model)

Kronos standard formalizes how systems exchange workflow state, identity context, policy outcomes and audit evidence.

Why the standard matters

Without a shared structure, orchestration is fragile and cross-entity automation cannot scale. Kronoid keeps semantics and execution aligned.

Registry function

The registry tracks schemas, versions, process contracts, and trusted participants. This enables discoverability, compatibility checks, and controlled evolution.

Difference from workflow engines

Workflow engines orchestrate steps. Kronoid governs data contracts and semantic state.
Workflow engines are flow-centric. Kronoid is interoperability-centric.
Kronoid preserves machine-verifiable context across organizational boundaries.

Difference from RPA

RPA emulates UI tasks. Kronoid models formal process state.
RPA focuses on automation scripts. Kronoid focuses on interoperable governance.
Kronoid links identity, policy and data exchange in one structured record.
