Transparency

What RANKIGI Proves and What It Does Not

RANKIGI is a passive attestation layer. It produces cryptographic records of event metadata submitted to it. The honest scope of those records is described below.

Section 1

What RANKIGI proves

  • The recorded sequence of events happened in this order.
  • No event was modified after recording.
  • Events were signed by this specific agent passport.
  • The chain was sealed at this timestamp.

Section 2

What RANKIGI does not prove

  • That the agent's reported actions reflect what actually occurred outside the observed surface.
  • That the agent followed any specific regulation or policy.
  • Legal admissibility in any jurisdiction.
  • Regulatory compliance.

Section 3

How to use RANKIGI records

  • As tamper-evident audit trail input for compliance review.
  • As forensic evidence input for qualified legal review.
  • As operational monitoring for agent behavior.

Section 4

Current Limitations and Roadmap Items

  • Blockchain anchoring: RANKIGI uses Sigstore Rekor for public anchoring. Direct blockchain anchoring is on the roadmap.
  • WebWitness perception anchoring: the perception anchor component (src/lib/webwitness/anchor.ts) is a mock implementation in this release. Production anchoring is on the roadmap.
  • Infrastructure regions: additional compute regions are in development. Only us-east is currently live.
  • KYA specification: the KYA open specification is authored by RANKIGI. External co-signers and industry adoption are in progress.
