An LLM guesses.
RAG paraphrases.
Ctrl AI signs every action.

The Contract is signed. The Receipt is the proof. Every AI action in your company — Cursor, ChatGPT, Slack AI, your own apps — runs through a signed Contract and leaves a cryptographic Receipt of Record.

§ The thesis

Three primitives. One signed unit.

Most "AI governance" is logging on top of an LLM. Ctrl AI flips it: the LLM picks from typed contracts your humans signed. Hallucination is not mitigated — it is structurally impossible.

§1 · How

Contracts

Typed callable functions signed by humans. Input schema. Output schema. Post-conditions. The LLM picks a Contract and calls it — it does not invent behaviour from prose.

§2 · Why

Missions

Standing directives with success criteria. Auto-evaluated as Contracts run. The agent has commitments, not just answers.

§3 · What

Cases

Durable working memory with an append-only event log. A multi-week decision is a single Case with every signed action attached.

§ Universal Provenance

Every action leaves a Receipt of Record.

On every invocation we sign the inputs, outputs, signers, and trust level with an Ed25519 key, then append the digest to a chained-hash transparency log. Any counterparty — your auditor, your customer, your regulator — can verify the receipt offline with one curl and one signature check.
