The Gates

Each gate is a commitment,
not a checkbox.

Twelve cryptographically-signed checkpoints between an AI model and a client filing. Each one answers a specific question the engagement committee will ask when something goes wrong.

Financial Data Integrity

GL, TB, and tax inputs verified at the boundary. Reconciliation gaps caught before AI sees them.

ii.

Integration Tests

Full suite must pass against tax, audit, and ERP systems. No deadline exceptions.

iii.

Change Verification

Hash-verified artifact comparison. If the output changed, the reason is in the log.

iv.

Human Approval

Risk-tiered: above 85% auto-executes. Client-facing outputs always escalate to a human.

ProofPacket Signing

HMAC-signed audit trail. "Done" is cryptographically verifiable. Not an email.

vi.

Client Confidentiality

SOX, GLBA, and SOC 2 logging; drift detection; rollback triggers; board reporting.
