AI Thinking Process

DIRECTION SKIPPED immediately. G076 applied: MCP managed by Agentic AI Foundation (Linux Foundation). Open standard conformance testing = consortium function. Wi-Fi Alliance parallel confirmed. Killed in under 30 seconds.

Kill Reason

G076 (Open-Source Consortium Absorption): MCP is an open standard managed by the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation. When a consortium manages an open standard, conformance testing becomes a consortium function, not a startup opportunity. The Linux Foundation/Agentic AI Foundation has structural incentives to commoditize conformance testing to drive adoption — they will build the badge program themselves, exactly as the Wi-Fi Alliance manages Wi-Fi Certified.
