Privacy Protection

Pacio data will be private or public as set by its creator or owner, including for just part of a record eg a person’s name might be public, but not his/her email address or birthdate.

Pacio data storage will involve a network of blockchains, decentralised databases, and decentralised file storage systems. This structure will allow entities to keep their data, other than common index and shared Single Entry Accounting done right! (SEA) transaction data, in a completely separate distributed database or chain that is private and unique to them. Pacio will tie this network together via a shared index, akin to the Internet’s DNS (Domain Name System) that was one of the first distributed databases.

Any data aggregation for analysis or research will be on a selective opt-in basis, with the default always being to opt out. Homomorphic encryption will be considered for any data aggregation services. (Homomorphic encryption permits analysis without the raw data being decrypted i.e. the original data need never be seen in plain text form by any analysis system.)

Features

Standardised semantic blockchain

Pacio will use the Standardised Semantic Information Model (SSIM) to store data

In a standardised way to be globally interoperable and comparable across entities, jurisdictions/regions, languages, and accounting standards
Of any type whether financial or not in a semantic way = data referenced by its content or what it is about

It allows sematic querying, and standardised semantic reporting from simple to complex with interfaces to international standards and data/report languages such as XBRL.

Business Improvement via TARI

TARI (Target Average Rate Index), invented and developed by Pacio founders Dr Keith Cleland and Trevor Watters, is a management methodology built into Pacio. TARI allows feedback to effect business improvement in real time, rather than only by analysis after the event.
