21 fields evidenced · 34 with no public information. Every value below links to the document it came from and the date we checked it.

10 of those are quoted but not yet interpreted: we hold the source sentence and the date we read it, but nobody has written the answer to the question yet. Those rows show the quote and say so rather than repeating it back as an answer. Why these exist

1 of those is flagged for review: our own check found language in the cited source that may address the field. An editor has not adjudicated it yet.

2 of the evidenced values quote wording our own later capture of the same page no longer contains. Marked below, awaiting an editor.

How this is scored

These scores are automated. A 1 or 2 counts how many fields this entry answers with a citation — not what those answers say. A 0 means every field for that dimension is recorded as undisclosed and none of the pages we captured mentions it. No one has scored this entry against the rubric yet.

Runtime governance

1/3 auto

Are scope, spend, and authority enforced while the agent runs?

Scored from 1 evidenced field(s): permission_scopes. Automated score; capped at 2 pending review.

Counts Permission scopes, each cited below.

Audit trail

unscored

Is there a tamper-evident record of what it actually did?

Compliance

1/3 auto

Are compliance obligations attached per engagement?

Scored from 1 evidenced field(s): compliance_certs. Automated score; capped at 2 pending review.

Counts Compliance certifications, each cited below.

Outcome settlement

unscored

Does payment depend on a verified result?

Insurance & indemnity

unscored

Can the deployment be insured, and is the customer indemnified?
