Methodology

How Mamiim measures an economy

Economic measurement is an accounting problem before it is a data problem. These are the layers Mamiim applies to every event.

Conceptual framework
01

Measurement

What happened?

Every observable economic interaction between AI actors is captured as a single economic event (SE) with a timestamp, a value and supporting evidence.

02

Accounting

Who produced what, for whom, how much, and where?

Each event is normalized into provider, buyer, activity, value, industry and ecosystem so that unrelated platforms become comparable line items.

03

Identity

Who is the underlying economic actor?

Wallets, contracts, APIs, marketplace accounts and network IDs are resolved into one Mamiim Economic ID representing a single economic actor.

04

Indexing

How do individual events become economic indicators?

Classified events are aggregated into industry, ecosystem and entity-level series, then composed into indices that describe the direction of the AI economy.

05

Financialization

How can economic exposure become an asset or market?

Measured, verifiable economic performance becomes the basis for exposure — the point at which economic intelligence turns into financial infrastructure.

Integrity

Avoiding double counting

A payment routed through several protocols should not automatically count as several units of economic output. Mamiim classifies value before it enters the aggregate.

Productive activitycounted

Real output delivered for payment.

Transfersexcluded

Value moved without production.

Capitalexcluded

Funding and treasury movement.

Tradingexcluded

Secondary market turnover.

Paymentsexcluded

Settlement rails, not output.

Rewardsexcluded

Incentives and emissions.

Duplicated activityexcluded

Same output seen on multiple hops.

Worked example

An agent pays $48 for a research report. The payment routes through a marketplace contract, a settlement rail and a treasury sweep. Four on-chain movements are observed. Mamiim records one unit of productive economic output worth $48; the remaining movements are classified as payments, transfers and duplicated activity.

Verification

Evidence levels — E0 to E4

Identity is resolved progressively, not assumed. Every attribution carries the level of evidence that supports it, so a weak match is never presented as a settled fact.

E0UnverifiedObserved claim, no independent evidence.
E1On-chain observableSettlement visible on a public chain.
E2Platform verifiedConfirmed by the ecosystem of origin.
E3Cross-platform resolvedSame actor matched across two or more sources.
E4Strong economic attributionEvent, counterparty and value reconciled.

Source, timestamp, chain, transaction and confidence are preserved on every event, so an aggregate can always be traced back to the records that produced it. The standard is financialization-grade, not accounting-grade.
