+# Usage Attribution — Reference
+
+This repository provides a **versioned reference specification**
+for **usage attribution semantics** in machine-to-machine and system-to-system environments.
+
+Usage attribution describes how **measurable activity**
+is deterministically linked to an **accountable entity**,
+independent of billing, settlement, or payment execution.
+
+---
+
+## Purpose
+
+The purpose of this repository is to establish **shared semantic boundaries**
+for attributing usage prior to any billing or settlement logic.
+
+It supports:
+- reproducible attribution outcomes,
+- auditability across system boundaries,
+- and interoperability between independent implementations.
+
+---
+
+## What This Repository Is
+
+- A **reference layer** for usage attribution semantics
+- A **non-commercial**, non-vendor specification
+- A **machine-readable** and versioned documentation set
+
+---
+
+## What This Repository Is Not
+
+This repository does **not**:
+- define billing or settlement rules,
+- provide pricing or payment services,
+- prescribe architectures or tools,
+- certify systems or implementations,
+- offer legal or regulatory guidance.
+
+---
+
+## Structure
+
+- `SCOPE.md` — Explicit scope boundaries
+- `SOURCES.md` — Stable primary references
+- `MODEL.md` — Conceptual reference model
+- `MAPS/` — Semantic mappings
+- `CHANGELOG.md` — Version history
