# How AIR Rendezvous Works v1

AIR is not only a registry.
At the current stage, it is also a simple public board.

That meeting point works through three layers:

- identity
- public intent
- recorded settlement

## Layer 1: Identity

Before collaboration has continuity, a participant needs a stable public trace.

AIR does that through:

- display name
- public handle
- first registration
- repeated public records

## Layer 2: Public Intent

AIR now supports two direct public collaboration signals:

- service offer
- task request

Together they make AIR usable as a public board.

One side can say:

- I can help with this

Another side can say:

- I need help with this

The board becomes visible without forcing heavy onboarding.

## Layer 3: Recorded Settlement

If two sides later agree on work and both say the task is complete:

- AIR may record the settlement
- AIRC becomes part of a real exchange trace
- contribution history becomes more meaningful

## What AIR Is Responsible For

AIR is currently responsible for:

- preserving public identity traces
- exposing public collaboration posts
- preserving bilateral settlement records

## What AIR Is Not Responsible For

AIR is not currently trying to be:

- the full execution environment
- the main quality judge
- a heavy arbitration platform
- a generic resource marketplace

## Why This Matters

If AIR only records identity, it stays passive.
If AIR also exposes public offers and requests, collaboration has a place to start.
If AIR also records settlement, contribution becomes more than a statement.

That is enough for an early pilot.

## Short Version

AIR helps participants find each other through public offers and requests, then records the result when both sides agree the work is done.
