What is Vin? The automotive industry’s record layer.

Where the record of a vehicle actually lives, in seventy seconds: on the wire, a fact is four fields.

What the film shows.

Every fact on screen is real.

Where does the record of a vehicle actually live? This film answers the industry-side question in seventy seconds: seventeen characters, one check digit, verified in place; and a record layer built on that spine.

Four pillars, data, services, commerce, AI, read as sets of addresses: the record, the work, the transaction, the agents. The full map is public. Type data and the record layer opens: the catalog, the as-built record, the crosswalk; each fact at its own address, with its source. On the wire, a fact is four fields: value, source, timestamp, verification. Every provider’s identifiers, mapped across one spine.

The addresses the film names.

Each one answers at its own address.

For the agent you send.

The agent reads the same record you do.

Same two routes, three representations: the numbers never differ between them.
