Receipts and the Notary

A signed attestation binds a record to a signing identity under a defined trust model. A witness receipt can add evidence that a commitment was seen at a point in a witnessed history. Verify exactly which claim each signature makes. STABLE

Integrity and observation

Signatures, chains and inclusion proofs can help detect specified changes and establish consistency with a published commitment. Separate infrastructure and keys can strengthen a trust design, but they do not automatically establish organisational independence or truthful source assertions. Verification depends on key custody, trusted checkpoints, completeness and the actual protocol. STABLE

A witness over an attestation hash does not independently observe the model, prove every control ran, or establish the truth of every field. It witnesses the commitment its protocol defines. STABLE

Content and metadata

The earlier Glacis design keeps protected prompts and responses inside the operator environment and sends minimized commitments to a witness. Confirm the actual implementation, fields, routing and export settings for a deployment. Receipt metadata can be sensitive even when it contains no raw prompt. GROUNDED · Labs STABLE

“Zero egress” must name the data and boundary involved. It cannot mean no network activity, no disclosed metadata or a universal inability to export any chart. STABLE

Independent verification

A reviewer needs the signed record, public verification material, relevant policy/configuration identifiers, required witness or chain proofs, and access to supporting evidence within its authorised scope. A receipt proves its defined record-level claims; total capture, semantic correctness, causation and insurance coverage remain separate. STABLE

The academy’s Ledger teaches record discipline through a simulation. Do not describe a game receipt as a production OVERT conformance certificate.
