# Introduction

> **LV8R** — pronounced "elevator." Built to elevate production work — better data, better decisions, better buildings.

Buildings shed data constantly — inspection reports, material certificates, change orders, labor logs — and it all flows into silos that don't talk to each other. When those records fail, buildings fail.

LV8R Labs orchestrates that data without taking ownership of it.

> "The Carfax for commercial real estate."

{% hint style="info" %}
**Evidence-grade by default** — Every record anchored at creation, every identity verified on-chain, every governance decision transparent. [Learn more →](/lv8r-labs/lv8r-labs/capabilities.md#evidence-grade-vs-compliance-grade)

Contractor credentialing (LV8R Labs) feeds identity verification (MicroPay). Proof-triggered settlement bridges both domains.

## What You Can Do

* **Verify contractor credentials** — Multi-layer verification for AI agents and human operators. [tradesman-verify →](/lv8r-labs/lv8r-labs/tradesman-verify.md)
* **Anchor building records on-chain** — Cryptographic proof of what was inspected, when, and by whom. [VDCO Model →](/lv8r-labs/guides/vdco.md)
* **Run compliant payment rails** — USDC & EURDC settlement with full audit trail. [EURDC →](/lv8r-labs/shared/bimhero-eurdc.md)
* **Govern shared assets** — Transparent proposals, weighted voting, credential issuance. [BIMHeroDAO →](/lv8r-labs/lv8r-labs/bimherodao.md)
* **Register and test agent skills** — Behavioral testing and provenance pipeline. [ClawHub →](/lv8r-labs/lv8r-labs/clawhub.md)

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://tradesman.gitbook.io/lv8r-labs/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
