We reconvened the Perseus Technical Infrastructure Advisory Group, chaired by Icebreaker One.
Date: 28 April 2026 10:00-10:45 BST
Location: online
Chair: Frank Wales
Secretariat: IB1
Meeting Aims:
- Update on onboarding flows
- Discuss coding agents in relation to onboarding
- Discuss automated compliance monitoring
Summary:
It was agreed that:
- Participants to send example queries and desired time ranges so the sandbox can be configured to return realistic test data.
- IB1 technical team to investigate synthetic data resembling real consumption patterns, alongside a deterministic dataset for automated emissions testing.
- Coding agent practitioners within participant organisations to be identified for further input on tooling and workflow.
It was noted that:
- Complete demo CAP flow is now available in the example app, with step-by-step guides for both CAP and EDP implementations.
- Single-step directory enrollment in progress; full API access to the directory planned.
- The sandbox EDP currently returns only ~3 days of February data, insufficient for monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting cycles and pure random synthetic data triggers anomaly detection and is not viable for testing.
- A heartbeat service is already included in the Perseus spec to check endpoint liveness and certificate validity.
- No SLA is currently in place for the sandbox; this is expected to change in production.
It was discussed that:
- Publishing skills alongside Perseus APIs is likely to significantly lower the barrier to integration when using AI coding tools.
- Agent authentication is an open design question; current thinking favours re-authenticating agents at each workflow stage rather than carrying a persistent token.
- Machine-parseable error messages and a separate agent sandbox were identified as priorities for AI-assisted integration.
- Compliance monitoring and operational/performance monitoring should be treated as distinct activities.
- In a federated peer-to-peer architecture, misbehaviour may only be apparent at points of interaction between peers; consideration needed on whether clients should be able to flag anomalies centrally.
- SMEs are out of scope for the Consumer Consent Solution at launch but expected to be included shortly after; no significant technical blockers identified.
Next meeting: Tuesday 30 June 2026 10:00-11:00 BST
