BRIS & VRL Development Roadmap

A milestone-level view of how the BRIS and VRL methodologies have progressed since inception. Kept intentionally high-level to show credible, steady progress toward the goal without exposing implementation detail.

Roadmap

From concept to standard.

This roadmap tracks BRIS and VRL specifically — the methodologies themselves, not the company built around them. Completed phases are marked done; the current phase is in progress; future phases are the near-term horizon.

✓

Phase 0 — Concept Origination

Complete

Dec 2025

Originated the core reliability-attestation concept behind BRIS
Early conceptual framing of a verifiable reliability methodology for critical infrastructure
✓

Phase 1 — Methodology Development

Complete

Mar 2026 – Apr 2026

Began formal development of the BRIS methodology
Began formal development of the VRL methodology
✓

Phase 2 — Prototype & Testnet

Complete

May 2026

Stood up a private testnet environment to prototype the methodology end-to-end
Built out core reliability scoring and evidence-attestation prototypes
Validated the methodology works across multiple underlying technology options
Built in early governance and review safeguards
Added early cybersecurity and data-privacy protections
Explored tokenization-readiness and market-recognition pathways (research stage)
✓

Phase 3 — Standardization

Complete

May 2026 – Jul 2026

Drafted the BRIS Methodology Charter (v0.1) for working-group review
Produced formal reference diagrams for the standard
Began formalizing conformance and certification templates
Began scoping dedicated internal tooling to support BRIS operations
●

Phase 4 — BRIS Standard Release

In progress

Current

Finalize and publish the BRIS Standard
Formalize first conformance/certification package with a pilot partner
Begin structured outreach to utilities, regulators, and institutional finance partners
○

Phase 5 — Verified Reliability Layer Go-Live

Planned

Next

Finalize the approach for making VRL attestations publicly verifiable
Pilot the full evidence-to-attestation flow with a real partner dataset
Define the review and dispute-resolution process for public-facing attestations
Explore tokenization/market-recognition pathway with legal and regulatory review
✓ Complete
● In progress
○ Planned

Completed items reflect methodology work that has demonstrably happened — drafted charters, testnet milestones, and prototypes. Items still pending are the current and next horizon for BRIS and VRL. This page is updated phase-by-phase as milestones close, kept at a level that's safe to share publicly without revealing implementation detail.

Want a deeper walkthrough of where BRIS and VRL are headed, or how a pilot engagement could work for your organization? We're glad to talk through it directly.
