# The Value Project

> Independent open specification for computable value models and pricing models — a machine-readable semantic layer for value and pricing across CRM, CPQ, billing, ERP, and AI agent systems.

The Value Project publishes JSON Schemas and written specifications that any system or agent can use to read, validate, and act on value and pricing data without manual translation. Compatible with agent protocols including Google A2A and Anthropic MCP. Schemas are licensed Apache 2.0; prose specifications are licensed CC BY 4.0.
