description: 'DecisionLink pioneered enterprise Customer Value Management (CVM), giving B2B sales, marketing, and customer-success
  teams a platform to quantify, present, and defend the economic value their products deliver to buyers. The company has since
  rebranded and relaunched as Xfactor.io, a revenue-operations AI platform that builds a "digital twin" of a company''s go-to-market
  system: it unifies CRM, pipeline, usage, and finance signals into Xfactor Central, surfaces cross-source risk through Xfactor
  OpenInsights with plain-English alerts, and lets teams simulate growth scenarios before committing with Xfactor Simulation
  and Growth AI. Backed by Accel, the company sells to revenue and go-to-market leaders. The platform runs on a set of FastAPI
  services behind api.xfactor.io — Value Proposition, Value Facts, Value Chat and Collaboration Manager — which serve live
  OpenAPI 3.1 documents and Swagger UI reference pages anonymously, while every operation itself is protected by Auth0 bearer
  tokens. There is no developer portal, pricing page, or published onboarding path: the subscription agreement and data-processing
  addendum are the only places the company describes its APIs in prose, and API-based access is issued as SHA-256-hashed API
  keys to contracted customers. Security posture is published via a SecureFrame trust center (SOC 2 Type II).'

- name: Xfactor.io Value Proposition API
  description: The largest of the Xfactor.io platform services — 88 paths and 109 operations covering value propositions,
    companies, accounts, solutions and products, benefits and value drivers, workflows, discovery, privileges and users, plus
    account factors and mappings. This is the CVM core DecisionLink was built on, now served as a FastAPI service behind Auth0
    bearer authentication. The OpenAPI 3.1 document and its Swagger UI are reachable anonymously; every operation requires
    a token.

x-unpointered-artifacts:
- file: well-known/decisionlink-well-known.yml
  reason: Records an absence. Every /.well-known/ path on every host Xfactor.io controls returned 404, 301-with-no-body, or
    a 403 SPA shell, so no WellKnown or SecurityTxt pointer is emitted — the pointer would assert a surface the provider does
    not serve.
- file: mcp/decisionlink-mcp.yml
  reason: A derived candidate tool list, not a server. deployment.mode is none and there is no endpoint, so no MCPServer pointer
    is emitted — the pointer would read as a verified agent surface.
- file: conventions/decisionlink-conventions.yml
  reason: Wired as Conventions, but deliberately NOT as Idempotency. No idempotency key exists in any of the 156 operations;
    the artifact records the gap, not a capability.

  note: 'Round 2 overturned round 1. The 2026-07 pass recorded "no public developer API, SDK, or documentation surface". STEP
    0b contract discovery against the API host root found four live FastAPI OpenAPI 3.1 documents and their Swagger UI pages
    served anonymously at api.xfactor.io — 156 operations across Value Proposition, Value Facts, Value Chat and Collaboration
    Manager. Ownership confirmed: the paths match the calls in the company''s own app.xfactor.io bundle, and that bundle names
    api.xfactor.io as its Auth0 token audience.'
