Verification Before Execution™ · AI-Agent Payment Authorization

Stop AI Agents From Moving Money Without Proof.

If the agent cannot prove authority, the payment does not execute.

When an AI agent tries to pay an invoice, ExecutionProof™ verifies the agent’s identity, authority, invoice evidence, vendor approval, amount limits, and current policy — returning ALLOW / HOLD / DENY before Stripe or any payment rail is ever called.

ExecutionProof is infrastructure, not an application. It sits between AI agents and your payment rail — verifying every payment request before money moves.

An AI Agent Tries to Pay $50,000. The Gate Says HOLD.

How ExecutionProof governs an AI-agent vendor payment: verify identity, authority, invoice, vendor, and limits before the payment rail is called.

Walkthrough with example data. No live funds are moved.

01

Agent Submits Payment

An AI payment agent requests a $50,000 vendor payment. Before the payment rail is called, the agent's request is routed to the ExecutionProof gate.

02

Verify → HOLD

The gate checks: Is the agent registered? Is it authorized for payments? Does the invoice exist and is it approved? Does the vendor match? Is $50,000 within the agent's delegated limit? The amount exceeds the $10,000 autonomous limit — decision: HOLD.

03

Self-Approval Blocked

The agent attempts to approve its own held payment. The gate rejects it. The entity that initiates an action cannot approve that action — enforced at the gate, not by policy.

04

Human Approval Required

The held payment is escalated to two authorized human approvers. Each reviewer's decision is recorded independently. Release requires M-of-N human authorization.

05

Re-Verify → ALLOW

After human approval, the gate re-verifies all checks — agent authority, invoice, vendor, amount, and execution state — before releasing. Only then does the decision become ALLOW and the payment rail is called.

06

Signed ProofRecord

A tamper-evident ProofRecord captures the full chain: agent identity, HOLD decision, blocked self-approval, both human approvals, re-verification, and the final ALLOW. Audit-ready from the moment the payment executes.

Outcome: the payment executes only after the agent, authority, invoice, vendor, and limits are verified — and every step is provable.

How It Works

One Gate. Every Payment Request.

Every AI-agent payment request passes through the Governance Gate. The decision and proof are recorded before the payment rail is called.

Proof of Verification

Every Payment Decision Creates a ProofRecord™

A tamper-evident record of the agent, authority, evidence, vendor, limits, and decision — generated before the payment executes, not after.

Internally represented as an Execution Verification Record (EVR).

The public ProofRecords shown here are demonstration records intended to illustrate structure and flow. Production deployments use stronger cryptographic signing.

Current Stage: Live Verification API · Pilot-Ready

The core ExecutionProof gate is live and pilot-ready. The verification API returns ALLOW, HOLD, and DENY decisions and issues a signed ProofRecord for each decision. The current pilot build supports governed HOLD resolution, independent (M-of-N) approval, re-verification before release, inline execution control, and ProofRecord generation — operational today.

Every ProofRecord is dual-signed today — HMAC-SHA256 (classical) and HMAC-SHA3-512 (quantum-resilient), both of which must verify — and written to a hash-linked, append-only proof chain where each record carries the hash of the record before it, so tampering is detectable end-to-end. Anchoring proofs to an external public ledger remains on the roadmap.

Our first design-partner pilots target a single, concrete milestone: placing the ExecutionProof gate in front of one live AI-agent payment workflow, so no agent payment clears without a signed ProofRecord. We are onboarding a small number of fintechs, enterprise finance teams, and payment-automation companies now — discovery calls and platform walkthroughs are open.

Design-Partner Program

Request a Pilot

The core verification API and Boundary Console are live and pilot-ready. We are recruiting a small group of design partners to govern one high-impact action end to end: intercept, verify, honor the decision, and issue a signed ProofRecord.

  • Start with one workflow and one execution boundary.
  • Live ALLOW / HOLD / DENY decisions with M-of-N HOLD resolution.
  • Direct access to the founder and architecture team.

We review every request. No spam. Or email [email protected].

Built for CFOs, controllers, treasurers, AP leaders, fintechs, and payment automation teams where AI agents are starting to move money — and the authorization gap is real.

How to Get Started

Your Path to Proof-Gated Payment Execution

Start with one AI-agent payment flow, one approval threshold, one execution boundary.

Discovery
Walk us through your AI-agent payment flows.
Boundary
Define which agent payments need governance.
Pilot
Govern one payment type. Prove the gate.
Production
Extend governance across agent-initiated payments.

We are beginning with one boundary: AI-agent vendor payments. The same governance gate applies, unchanged, to digital asset custody, infrastructure deployments, and enterprise operations — one architecture, any domain where autonomous actions have consequences. The same gate governs any high-consequence action. We start with one: AI-agent payments.
