MandateZero
Authority Plane
MandateZero converts approved human or institutional intent into bounded, versioned, revocable authority that can be consumed only by the exact permitted action.
Constitutional authority for consequential action.
- Release lineage
- Executable v4.0 lineage; v6.0/2040 governing architecture and verification materials
- Evidence state
- Tenant isolation, clean-room reproducibility, target-validation controls, and deeper flagship verification are implemented in the controlled reference environment; buyer-environment validation and independent assurance remain pending.
The institutional outcome
A traceable authority chain, action-bound permit, commit-time revalidation, and evidence-bearing consumption receipt.
Governed workflow
A bounded path from intent to proof.
- 01
Reconstruct approved intent
- 02
Bind principal, purpose, tenant, action, tool, amount, and risk budget
- 03
Require separated approval
- 04
Issue a short-lived one-time permit
- 05
Revalidate at commit
- 06
Consume or revoke with an audit receipt
