Formally-verified governance gate for agentic AI · Lean 4 · 749 decl / 14 axioms / 163 sorries · Khipu Merkle DAG · Doctrine v11 · DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20434276

SZL Holdings — We sell proof.

AI is moving into decisions that carry real consequences. We make every AI action cryptographically verifiable — a signed, tamper-evident receipt any auditor or regulator can check on their own hardware, with public tooling, after the fact. We sell the one thing the AI market still can't buy off the shelf: proof.


Five live products. One-click demos. No login.

Product What it does Try it now
a11oy Signed-receipt substrate — every AI decision leaves a cryptographic Khipu receipt; receipts.in ≡ receipts.out audit-fiber continuity Open in Spaces
sentra Deny-by-default policy immune system — 8 gates; every verdict signed and chained Open in Spaces

What "proof" means here

The problem: AI is being deployed into consequential decisions — defense, compliance, critical infrastructure — with no standard way to show what the AI decided, why, and whether it stayed in bounds.

Our answer: Every SZL action emits a DSSE-enveloped Khipu receipt — an ECDSA P-256 signed, SHA-256 hash-linked Merkle DAG node. The chain satisfies receipts.in ≡ receipts.out: what came in is what got signed; nothing is lost between the decision and the proof.

Competitive position: Palantir, New Relic, Anduril — none ship a signed-receipt substrate for individual AI decisions. We match their AIP policy layer (sentra), their observability surface (rosie), and their edge deployment (killinchu). We exceed them on one dimension they don't offer: every decision is a verifiable artifact, not a log entry.

The Warhacker / Cannonico fit: Defense Unicorns published a problem: "an autonomous drone loses contact — is it still inside authorized parameters, or has it gone off script? There's no independent system today that can monitor AI behavior in real time, catch the moment a line gets crossed, and back it up with a permanent, tamper-evident record."Warhacker 2026. That is exactly what SZL ships. killinchu → sentra → amaru → a11oy is the Cannonico answer, deployable in one signed UDS command.

Supply-chain posture

  • SLSA Build L1 honest (L2 roadmap via Wire D) — every flagship image is cosign keyless-signed and Rekor-logged (cosign verify PASSES). All 5 build workflows have actions/attest-build-provenance@v2.4.0 wired in ghcr-build-push.yml, but the L2 attestation is NOT yet earned on the deployed images (cosign verify-attestation --type slsaprovenance returns "no matching attestations" — likely org-level attestations: write is the remaining founder step). L2 is not claimed until that command passes.
  • cosign keyless signed — every image signed via Fulcio OIDC short-lived cert bound to the GitHub Actions workflow identity; entries in public Sigstore Rekor transparency log (indexes above)
  • UDS bundle szl-mesh:v0.4.0 — real baked images (SBOM-only regression fixed); keyless cosign-signed; deployable via uds deploy oci://... into any UDS Core cluster
  • DCO required on every commit; OpenSSF Scorecard monitored; Trivy + Grype + Gitleaks in CI

Formal math substrate

  • Lean 4 + Mathlib v4.13.0lutar-lean: 749 declarations / 14 unique axioms / 163 tracked sorries @ c7c0ba17

  • Λ-uniqueness: Conjecture 1 — conditional uniqueness machine-checked; unconditional case remains open (CAUCHY_ND sorry open); F23 open bounty
