Trust · Built into the work

The record is
yours to inspect.

Trust comes from being able to inspect the source, understand the authority, and follow what happened afterwards.

THE EVIDENCE

Every cited claim has somewhere to go back to.

A passage, a source, an observed time and a checked time.

THE WORK

Authority is checked before the action.

A bound, an exception, a receipt. Kept on the record.

01 PEOPLE AND PERMISSIONS

Who can make the call?

Reading, reviewing and approving are different responsibilities. Software never acquires a person’s right to approve a decision.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE CALL

A name.
A time.
A reason.

An approval records who made it, when they made it, and why. A proposal cannot approve itself.

Praxis exceptions also return to a person. An approval authorises the specific action it describes.

02 SOURCES YOU CAN INSPECT

Read the passage
behind the number.

Sources are read where you connect them. Their passages keep the context that a bare number loses.

A checked source is not a promise that the underlying claim is true. It is a way to see what the claim rests on.

Meridian · Not in evidence

No concentration figure in the broker deck. The missing value stays missing.

Read-only sources.

Reading a connected folder does not authorise writes to it.

Organisation context.

The product architecture scopes client data to its tenant and people’s access.

Versions remain distinct.

A newer source does not erase the evidence behind an earlier decision.

03 CONTROL AT THE POINT OF ACTION

Authority has edges.

Praxis evaluates the authority it has before acting. If a request exceeds it, a person sees the exact exception. If an outcome is unknown, that uncertainty remains visible.

Approval authorises this one cancellation. The standing bound stays in place.

INHERITED RESTRICTIONNever a production system.A prohibition is refused. It is not an approval request.
What happens when a source cannot be checked?

The failed check stays visible. Quiet should mean the sources were checked and nothing material moved, with the last successful check shown. It does not mean everything was reachable.

Does a changed figure automatically change the decision?

No. Stayvn can propose a revision with the changed evidence beside it. The current decision stays in effect until an authorised person approves a revision.

What happens if an action’s outcome is unknown?

Praxis keeps the uncertainty visible and reconciles the existing action where the connected system supports it. It does not blindly resubmit the action. A receipt is required before it is counted as confirmed.

Can another agent bypass these controls?

Where Praxis executes an action, it applies its enforcement. If a separate agent acts outside Praxis and only asks it for advice, Praxis cannot claim to prevent a bypass.

What does disconnecting a document source mean?

It stops future reading from that source. Evidence already read keeps its provenance in the Library; disconnection should not be confused with deletion. Retention and deployment terms need to be agreed for the client setup.

Market evidence

Northwind leaves EMEA

Two sources connect the move: E1, Northwind Software’s own newsroom release announcing its withdrawal from EMEA, first seen 23 October at 11:58; and E2, Beacon Systems’ pricing page, watched over the same period and unchanged. Stayvn’s interpretation relates the release to the EMEA market in the Acme decision.

“Stayvn’s reading” is an inference, kept separate from the event facts.

Valuation evidence

Comparable transactions

The figures show Acme’s asking valuation at 9.2× ARR, with the comparable range at 7.5–8.5×. The condition: valuation renegotiated to 8.5× ARR or below. Source: Comparable transactions analysis · Table 3.
