Start

First: what can your current setup prove?

Before any install instruction, score what you run today. Six cards, all grey — because nothing about your setup is measured yet. Each one says exactly what would light it up. That gap is the product. No survey walls, and no account needed until the one step that genuinely requires it — or skip everything and just install.

One verdict word for the whole runtime — composited from the measured sub-scores only. A yellow ring shown honestly beats a green ring assembled from hope.

method: no node paired — the ring composites measured sub-scores only, so it shows nothing rather than something invented

Runtimenot measured

Your node's heartbeat lights this up — install is step 1.

Continuitynot measured

Your first receipt lights this up.

Sessionnot measured

Pair a node and run one task — your context meter starts here.

Costnot measured

Routing telemetry lights this up after your first routed task.

Ownershipnot measured

Export your first bundle — receipt #1 makes your evidence portable.

Agent-Readinessnot measured

StratosAgent installs free — step 1 lights the substrate.

Not a mock — this is the honest shape of “no node yet”. A live node's scoreboard looks like ours, warns showing; the public status page is the running demo.

What are you setting up?

One question

Get running

steps 1–2 and 4–5 need no account
  1. 1Install
    $ curl -fsSL https://efficientlabs.ai/install.sh | sh
    PS> irm https://efficientlabs.ai/install.ps1 | iex

    user-space, no sudo, nothing auto-starts — same commands as the install page (macOS/Linux above, Windows below)

  2. 2First run
    $ stratos init

    sets up your node locally; keys are generated on your machine and the private half never leaves it

  3. 3Pair your nodethe only account-bound step
    $ stratos pair

    the ONLY account-bound step — everything else works without one

  4. 4First receipt
    $ stratos receipt export

    run any local task first — the install page walks a full demo task; the export is your evidence bundle

  5. 5Verify it
    $ stratos receipt verify bundle.json

    or drop the bundle on the web verifier (/status#verify) — read locally, never uploaded

When step 5 passes: “All steps done. Your chain verifies.” That verified chain is exactly what the grey Continuity and Ownership cards above describe — your node now proves what they ask for. (A per-node scoreboard view is on the roadmap; our own node's board shows what a lit one looks like.)
