Experimental implementation

A narrow pilot for one consequential question.

Can a team trace a review decision from an outcome and bounded mandate through scoped evidence, while preserving unknown effects and current authority?

Experimental local pilot

Local Python and SQLite only. Fixture identities, synthetic evidence, no provider execution.

Demonstration

Reservation headroom

Paused

Decision state

A reservation is an accounting commitment—not an execution grant or measured spend. A pause decision is recorded separately from evidence that an external control became effective.

Identity and evidence boundaries

Know what this pilot does not establish.

Fixture identity

Callers select fixed identities. This is not authentication; the Python process and database are trusted.

Recorded provenance

Sources are recorded, not authenticated or fetched. Records are not encrypted or independently tamper-proof.

No external control

There is no provider dispatch, settlement, capacity-release API, cancellation acknowledgement, or effect verification.

Remaining acceptance work

Real identity, authenticated evidence, provider dispatch, lost-response reconciliation, cancellation acknowledgements, recovery, and companion Design components remain future integrations. Complete specification assessments remain unassessed.
