Charter is how your team actually adopts AI. Clear boundaries for what AI handles, smart escalation for what needs you, and a receipt for everything. Understand it in 5 minutes. Use it forever.
Most of your day is spent on work that AI can handle. The rest — judgment, relationships, ethics — is where you actually create value. Charter draws the line.
Charter gives your AI three things every good team member needs: boundaries, escalation paths, and accountability.
Define what AI can never do. No sending messages without approval. No accessing financials without authorization. No publishing without review. These aren't suggestions — they're enforced.
Not everything needs your attention. But some things do. Set thresholds: AI handles the routine, asks you for the important stuff. You decide what "important" means.
Every action gets recorded. What was done, which AI did it, what rules were active, who approved it. If something goes wrong, you have the paper trail. If it goes right, you can prove it.
AI agents are writing code, drafting contracts, managing pipelines. Charter is how you give them the same rules and accountability as any team member.
Run one command and every AI agent in the project gets boundaries, escalation rules, and an audit trail. No configuration marathon. No 6-week rollout.
Claude, GPT, Copilot, Gemini, Grok — Charter governs them all through MCP (Model Context Protocol). Switch models without rewriting your governance.
If an agent starts drifting — ethics declining, audits getting skipped, conflicting instructions — Charter stops it automatically and alerts you. No human monitoring required.
Turn your audit trail into answers. Charter's analytics engine runs locally on your machine — no cloud, no data sharing, millisecond queries.
Deep profiles for every actor — human, AI, or collaborative. See session patterns, activity breakdowns, and temporal distribution. Know who did what and when.
Sequence mining finds recurring patterns. Anomaly detection flags deviations. And bias-detection-by-absence measures what did not happen — missing events, relationship silences, unused tools. 23 real declarations on a production chain.
One-call summary of your entire governance state: event volume, chain health, velocity metrics, escalation rates, actor attribution coverage, compliance status. Ask a question, get an answer.
Pull data as Parquet, CSV, or JSON. Feed it into notebooks, BI tools, or compliance reports. Your data, your format, your machine.
Most AI tools tell you what they did. Charter also tells you what you did not do. Bias detection by absence measures the negative space in your audit trail — the missing events, the silent relationships, the unused tools.
Running absence detection against a real 11,877-entry production chain surfaced 23 declarations across three subtypes. Among them: the chain's own actor-attribution was incomplete. Most entries had no actor recorded because the connector layer was not propagating identity.
The tool found a defect in the tool. The fix shipped the same week — actor attribution went from ~0% to 48% (9,090 of 18,919 entries). Every new chain entry now has an actor.
Governance rules expect certain event types. If they never appear in the chain, that is a finding.
Contacts you were regularly in touch with, then stopped. 90-day baseline vs. 30-day recent window.
Capabilities used by similar actors that you have never produced. Cosine similarity against peer fingerprints.
Nine built-in connectors pipe your data into the Charter chain. Every event gets a hash, an actor, and a timestamp. No middleware. No cloud.
Charter KB turns raw audit logs into a governed knowledge base. Structured articles, linked concepts, full provenance — queryable by anyone on your team.
Every project gets a dedicated wiki. AI-compiled articles with linked concepts and entities. New team members query instead of asking — onboarding in minutes, not weeks.
Every knowledge update is hashed and appended to the Charter chain. Auditors trace any article back to the exact source documents and chain events that created it.
Hospital systems, partners, and compliance teams get structured, linked answers instead of scrolling through thousands of audit events. The chain is the proof. The KB is the interface.
Open your knowledge vault in Obsidian for Graph View, backlinks, and Dataview queries. See connections across projects that no one knew existed. Or use any markdown viewer.
Separate knowledge domains for every project, department, or entity. Deal intelligence stays in deals. Clinical knowledge stays in clinical. Cross-link when you choose to.
Already on a prior Charter version? Run one command. Zero data migration. Your existing chain stays untouched. The KB layer reads from it — never writes to it.
Charter gives every operator a cryptographic identity and a tamper-evident chain. Take it with you when you change roles, share it with auditors, or cross-verify it with your employer.
Workers publish Merkle roots. Companies witness them. If either side rewrites history, the math catches it. Privacy and verifiability are separated by cryptography — the company never sees the underlying data.
Export your identity, governance profile, decision log, and pattern declarations as a structured manifest. Section 1 is binding constraints. Section 2 is informational predecessor patterns. Four platform adapters: Claude, GPT, Grok, RAG.
Every batch of chain entries is committed to a Merkle tree. Roots can be anchored externally — to a federation, a witness store, or a partner organization. The math is the trust contract.
You don't need a change management consultant. You need a clear path.
One pip command. Works on Mac, Windows, Linux. Nothing to configure.
30 secondsCharter scans your project, picks a governance domain, and generates your rules file.
3 secondsEdit the plain-English rules file. Add boundaries and escalation thresholds that match your business.
