A pre-commit tool for preventing catastrophic consequences in complex codebases. Where linters and coverage handle certainty, Praevisio specializes in uncertainty — estimating credence and confidence for risks like security regressions and GenAI misuse, then recommending targeted evidence or a time-boxed waiver.
Promises are cheap to make But expensive to verify.
01
Information is exponential
We're drowning in claims, predictions, and promises. AI makes this worse—anyone can generate infinite plausible-sounding content in seconds.
02
Verification is linear
Checking facts, tracking outcomes, and holding people accountable happens one claim at a time. Human attention doesn't scale.
03
Markets fail
When you can't tell who's reliable, bad actors drive out good ones. The result: a race to the bottom where honesty is punished and manipulation rewarded.
THE INSIGHT
What if we could audit expectations and verify outcomes?
Before: Justify The Claim
Use structured reasoning to show why a claim is valid. Decompose it. Show evidence. Make assumptions auditable.
→ Abductio
After: Prove The Outcome
Independent assessors verify whether the promise was fulfilled. They stake their own reputation. Promise-keepers earn trust. Promise-breakers lose it.
→ Sponsio
This isn't a reputation system. This isn't a review platform. This is a trust protocol—infrastructure for making promises verifiable and verification economically rational.
Use Cases
Problem
High‑stakes decisions hinge on unstructured claims and slideware.
Teams can’t audit assumptions; rationale gets lost across decks and inboxes.
Boards and regulators expect proof‑of‑judgment, not anecdotes.
Job to be done
Submit a claim and receive a defensible, auditable dossier. Abductio turns assumptions into a graph with Credence and Confidence; Sponsio tracks real outcomes over time. Share a one‑pager that survives scrutiny and accelerates investment or partner decisions.
Owns: open protocol/specs, certification mark, conformance tests.
Earns: certification fees, platform services, platform fee from products, grants.
Distributes surplus: patronage refunds to contributors + reserves/innovation (per policy).
Not for sale: mission and mark stay neutral and open.
Protocol Stewardship Promise
We steward an open protocol and certification mark with transparent versioning, conformance tests, and a public roadmap. Stability, neutrality, and long‑term compatibility are prioritized over short‑term gains.
Fair Governance Promise
Governance is democratic, with optional meritocratic weighting informed by verifiable promise‑keeping records. Voting rules and conflicts‑of‑interest policies are published and auditable.
Microenterprise Funding Promise
Surplus revenue not required for maintenance and operations is allocated to fund microenterprises and ecosystem contributions, reinforcing a healthy, mission‑aligned commons.
Your Microenterprise, powered by the Promise Protocol
Build a high-trust business with measurable credibility and a clear path to profit. Structure your company on the Promise Protocol so every commitment is verifiable, transparent, and economically aligned with performance.
Promise Tracking Promise
Operate on a verifiable ledger where explicit intentions and promises are cryptographically tracked and auditable — reducing counterparty risk and increasing stakeholder confidence.
Abductio Promise
Ensure operational integrity: your committed promises must achieve at least 0.75 Credence and 0.75 Confidence in a verified Abductio report — an objective, evidence-weighted trust score reflecting real viability.
Prosocial Promise
Create value for both shareholders and society. Prosocial alignment compounds brand resilience, customer loyalty, and long-term growth.
Profit Promise
Demonstrate a viable, verifiable path to profitability within 12 months. Our infrastructure enforces financial discipline and nurtures early trust, accelerating customer acquisition.
Evidence and assurance for AI and data systems. Start with GDPR DPIA automation; expand into EU AI Act compliance.
Verified via Promise Protocol
Abductio Integrity Promise
Every Decision Dossier includes credence (p), confidence (k), ≥3 factors per node with evidence hashes, EVSI with cost model, and a rivals ledger when applicable.
Stake: €5,000 per engagement • Failure: missing p/k/factors/EVSI → full refund
Turnaround Time Promise
Decision Audit delivered within 3 weeks of kickoff (interim at 7 days, draft at 14), or you automatically pay 50% less. Client‑side delays reset the clock.
Stake: 50% of engagement fee • Failure: late delivery → 50% discount
Hidden Assumption Discovery Promise
We surface ≥1 previously unexamined, decision‑relevant assumption per engagement (credence‑moving or confidence‑limiting) and document it in the Dossier.
Stake: 25% of engagement fee • Failure: no qualifying assumption → 25% refund
Calibration Accuracy Promise
Claims we rate 0.70–0.90 credence resolve true 75–85% of the time (long‑run). We publish quarterly calibration reports (Brier/ECE, by domain).
PROMISE is a platform cooperative—owned by the contributors who build it, the experts who assess on it, the providers who pledge on it, and the communities who rely on it.
