Conscience · Policy & governance
Every AI action gets an audit row. Every denial cites a rule.
Conscience defines what your agents are allowed to do, records what they did, and emits tamper-evident receipts every paid op can be audited against. Built for regulated industries that need the AI to be auditable, not just productive.
What it does
Declarative policy packs
Tenant-scoped rule sets in plain language. SYSTEM_RULES always load first; tenant rules layer on top. Update without redeploying.
Fail-closed by default
If no policy explicitly allows an action, it's denied. Every denial emits an audit row with the rule id that fired. No silent skips.
Hash-chained receipts
Every cloud op produces a receipt linked to the prior one. Offline-verifiable. Tampering breaks the chain in a detectable way.
Jurisdictional templates
Pre-built packs for GDPR, HIPAA, PIPEDA, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and Canadian + US tax handling. Adopt or fork.
When to reach for it
- You operate in a regulated industry (healthcare, finance, public sector) and need an auditable trail.
- You want to constrain agent behaviour declaratively rather than with prompt tricks.
- You're preparing for a SOC 2 / ISO / HIPAA audit and need receipts your auditor can verify.
- You're wiring multiple teams into shared AI agents and need per-team rule packs.
