Domain Claim

The process of proving ownership of a domain by adding a DNS TXT record. Similar to domain verification in Google Search Console. Once the DNS record propagates (typically 15 minutes, up to 48 hours), Mediary confirms domain ownership automatically.

What to do

Add the DNS TXT record Mediary gives you, then wait for propagation (usually about 15 minutes). Mediary confirms ownership automatically — no further action needed.

Mediary's core vocabulary includes 10 defined terms. The Trust Readiness Index (TRI) is the central metric — a score from 0 to 100 derived from 8 independently verified trust signals. Each signal follows the Evidence → Verification → Signal → TRI chain. See how these concepts apply in the business context or the developer integration guide.
