Trust

Trust is a system property, not a promise made after the fact.

Accountability, consent, evidence, audit, action controls and model governance are designed into the platform.

Human accountability

Responsibility stays with people

Responsibility, authority, delegation and escalation are explicit and recorded. The system cannot create its own permission; high-impact action remains policy- and authority-bound.

Responsibility

Named humans remain accountable for consequential decisions.

Authority & delegation

Consent, access, delegation and permission to act are separated and recorded.

Escalation

When the scene is not ready, the system clarifies, constrains or escalates.

Consent & protected perspectives

Purpose limitation

Information is used for its authorised purpose, not beyond it.

Consent & revocation

Consent can be given and revoked; disclosure controls govern what is shown.

Protected perspectives

"Some relevant context is protected and is not shown in this view."

Evidence & audit

Evidence chains and decision audit

Every consequential decision and action is evidence-linked and audited. Source provenance matters because it is what makes memory challengeable.

Evidence chain

Assertions stay linked to their source evidence and runtime history.

Activity & decision audit

Who decided, when, on what evidence, and with what alternatives.

Source provenance

Why source provenance matters: it is what allows challenge and correction.

Knowledge integrity

Contradiction, confidence, time and correction

Contradiction

Conflicting memories coexist explicitly rather than being silently merged.

Confidence & temporal validity

Uncertainty and the time something was true are explicit states.

Supersession & correction

An assertion can be corrected without erasing the original source evidence.

Action controls

Useful automation with accountable boundaries

Policy & quality checks

Output and action are validated against policy, authority, evidence and quality controls.

Approvals

Proposed actions require the right role or approval before execution.

Idempotency, rollback & audit

Authorised actions are idempotent, reversible where possible and audited.

Model governance

Provider-neutral, governed and observable

Provider-neutral contracts

Identity, decisions and scene contracts are provider-neutral.

Promotion & rollback

Behavioural compatibility, identity stability and rollback readiness are checked before promotion.

Data handling & observability

Data handling, residency and observability are governed per approved policy.

Privacy lifecycle

Scope, retention, deletion and index propagation

Scope

Access is scoped by tenant and role.

Retention & legal hold

Retention rules and legal hold (where applicable) are respected.

Deletion propagation

Deleted data disappears from active retrieval views and derived indexes.

Claim discipline. We do not claim named certifications, legal compliance, encryption details, data-residency locations, uptime or security controls unless confirmed by the relevant owner.

Review trust by design with your team.
