Proof
End-to-end demonstrations across money, software, machines, commerce and protected data — each labeled for exactly what it proves, with receipts anyone can verify.
Proof suite · every run passed
Money, production, machines, data — one authority system
Runs of Guardian’s live-proof suite on Guardian staging, executed by Odingard against the real authority path. They are engineering demonstrations, not customer deployments.
MoneyA vendor payment, then a changed amountSandbox · Stripe test mode
A treasury agent proposes an $8,450 vendor payment. You approve it. It then proposes $18,450 — a new action that needs a new decision.
- $8,450 charge → ASK, approved, executed on the Stripe test API
- $18,450 changed amount → ASK, approved, executed

Software deliveryStaging freely, production with youSandbox · Cloudflare
A DevOps agent ships a release. Staging is inside its authority; production needs a human; a changed payload needs a fresh approval.
- Staging deploy → ALLOW, executed
- Production deploy → ASK, approved, executed
- Changed payload → ASK again, approved, executed

Physical worldA robot arm inside its safety envelopeSimulated physical system — not live robot control
A controller agent moves an arm inside a declared envelope, then tries to exceed its speed limit, then tries to move under an emergency stop.
- Move inside envelope → ALLOW, executed on the simulated controller
- Speed 4.0 envelope violation → DENY, the system never moved
- Move under human E-STOP → DENY
Simulated controller. Guardian holds no certified hardware or safety-system control.

CommerceA browser agent at the checkoutSandbox · real Steel browser, test shop
A shopping agent drives a real cloud browser to a checkout. Guardian holds the purchase for approval, and the page’s price changes before payment.
- Approved purchase → executes exactly once
- Purchase beyond limits → paused until a human approves
- Changed or revoked authority → DENY, nothing bought
- Price on the live page drifts → aborted, CHECKOUT_MISMATCH
Evidence: WO-041 live run on Steel
AgentsDelegation that only narrowsLive
A parent agent spawns a child and delegates a narrower task. The child tries to spawn its own agent — beyond what it was given.
- agent.spawn → ALLOW, executed
- agent.delegate api.request → ALLOW, executed
- Child request inside its ceiling → ALLOW
- Child attempts agent.spawn → DENY — amplification stopped

Protected dataHealth information: use is not disclosureLive path · synthetic data
A care-coordination agent may use a declared patient field for an approved purpose. It then tries to send the field to an external marketing destination.
- persist / view → ASK, approved, executed inside purpose
- disclose to external marketing → DENY
Synthetic record. This demonstrates Guardian's execution path; it is not a production clinical integration and no patient data was used.

Enterprise systemsRoutine updates pass; commitments waitSandbox · test fixture
A sales agent updates an opportunity on its own, then proposes a 20% discount and order form — a commitment that needs authority.
- Routine field update → ALLOW, executed
- 20% discount commitment → ASK, approved, executed
Receipts: att_23c1a78e8f1ae29d2dad05721642f80b · att_e29b101b15388e398fe706e453f55dbf
Verify it yourself
Every execution leaves a receipt anyone can check
Receipts are Ed25519-signed. Guardian publishes its verification keys; the SDK verifies a receipt offline, without an account, and rejects it if a single byte changes.
The agent is never the authority. The human is.
