IDKindSeverityDetail
claim-001claimmediumA Decision Receipt is a five-layer cryptographic proof comprising a sealed evidence bundle, policy enforcement record, competing hypotheses, Ed25519 signature, and deterministic replay capability.
claim-002claimmediumThe evidence bundle is sealed at decision time, capturing the actual inputs the system considered — not a reconstruction or log entry generated after the fact.
claim-003claimmediumDeny-by-default policy enforcement means no decision proceeds without a documented policy evaluation, and the receipt records competing hypotheses that were considered alongside the selected outcome.
claim-005claimmediumDeterministic replay transforms a Decision Receipt from a record of what happened into a reproducible proof — the critical distinction between accountability claims and accountability evidence.
editorial-risk-1editorialmediumDo not reproduce internal receipt schema or field names — use public abstract language only.
editorial-risk-2editorialmediumPatent-sensitive material: reference architecture from public abstract, do not expose implementation details.
editorial-risk-3editorialmediumThe Ed25519 choice is a design decision, not a proprietary innovation — frame accordingly.
editorial-risk-4editorialmediumCompeting hypotheses concept is patent-sensitive — describe the what, not the how.

Episode Plan

Premise: Episode 1 established the accountability gap. Now we open the box. A Decision Receipt is not a log entry or a dashboard metric — it is a five-layer cryptographic proof. This episode dissects each layer: the sealed evidence bundle, the deny-by-default policy enforcement record, the competing hypotheses, the Ed25519 signature, and the deterministic replay capability that transforms a record into a proof.

Audience Promise: By the end of this episode, you will understand exactly what is inside a Decision Receipt, why each layer exists, and how deterministic replay turns an accountability claim into an independently verifiable proof — all without exposing patent-sensitive internals.

Call to Action: Check the source appendix for the cryptographic verification primer and deterministic replay concept paper, then visit decrec.summitcognitive.ai to verify a real receipt yourself.

#TitlePurposeDurationClaims
1 Cold open: opening the box Present a Decision Receipt as a tangible artifact and set up the five-layer dissection. 60s 1
2 Layer 1: The sealed evidence bundle Explain what the evidence bundle contains and why sealing at decision time matters. 180s 1
3 Layer 2: Deny-by-default policy enforcement Show that every decision must pass policy evaluation and the outcome is recorded. 150s 2
4 Layer 3: Competing hypotheses Explain why recording alternatives considered is essential to accountability. 150s 1
5 Layer 4: Ed25519 cryptographic signature Demonstrate how the signature enables independent verification. 150s 1
6 Layer 5: Deterministic replay The critical distinction — replay transforms a record into a proof. 200s 2
7 Close: a proof, not a claim Synthesize the five layers and preview Episode 3. 60s 0
