The Gates

Each gate is a commitment,
not a checkbox.

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

i.

Engagement Data Validation

Client data integrity verified at the boundary. Confidentiality exposure caught before AI sees it.

ii.

Engagement Integration Tests

Full suite must pass. No urgency exceptions. The test failure is the deliverable failure.

iii.

Engagement Change Verification

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

iv.

Engagement Human Approval

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

v.

ProofPacket Signing

HMAC-signed audit trail. "Done" is cryptographically verifiable. Not a status meeting.

vi.

Engagement Compliance

Confidentiality logging, drift detection, rollback triggers, automated engagement reporting.
