Your AI will be questioned. Verdict proves what happened.

Three minutes for the underwriter, the general counsel and the CISO who will ask. The record as it stands in September 2026, why logs are not evidence, how a sealed record works, and four exhibits you can re-verify without trusting Verdict.

The narration, in full.

Your AI will be questioned. By a court. By a regulator. By the carrier writing the policy. And when it is, what can you actually prove?

Here is the record, September 2026. January first: ISO's generative-AI exclusion endorsements go live on the standard general liability form. April fourteenth: a federal court holds that hosting is not a defense when the tool composes the claim. And in one year, AI-central federal cases went from twenty-two to ninety-four.

So the deployer is the defendant, and the carrier needs verifiable proof of care before it writes the risk. What does the insured hand over today? Logs. Written by the system being questioned. Editable by the party being questioned. This summer, an agent incident of eighteen thousand posts came to light for one reason: a record survived outside the operator's control. Logs are not evidence.

Verdict sits at three boundaries. Intercept: every tool call, every model decision, every policy gate, captured as it happens. Seal: each record is hashed, chained to the one before it, Merkle-rooted, and anchored to a public transparency log that Verdict does not control. Output: the same sealed record gives the auditor, the regulator, and the carrier each what they need. One record. Three audiences.

None of this is a slide. Exhibit A: a live sealed record. A one-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-dollar claims-triage decision, anchored on the public Sigstore Rekor log. The index is on screen. Re-verify it yourself, without trusting Verdict. Exhibit B: four patent filings, pending. Exhibit C: the specification is open, Apache 2.0, with a royalty-free patent commitment to every conformant implementation. Exhibit D: one command installs it.

For the carrier, this is the evidence input an AI endorsement needs. Stop asking the insured to describe their controls. Ask them to prove them. Underwrite against a sealed record instead of a questionnaire. At claim, re-verify the record instead of arguing about the logs. And the insured gets the same thing you do: a defensible go or no-go on every agent before it ships.

Here is the path, and it starts free. One: seal a single line of your own and get a public verify link back in under a minute. Two: pick one program, one endorsement, one agent, and we build its evidence input with you, with you copied on every step. Three: a thirty-day run on one live workflow, before you sign anything. Then decide with the record in hand.
