▸ THE BASIS STANDARD

Compliance enforced before the agent acts.

BASIS is an open standard for governing autonomous AI agents. Every action is gated before it runs and capped fail-closed — an unverified agent drops to zero authority. Every decision commits to a signed proof chain you can verify yourself, with no vendor in the loop. It maps directly to SB 26-189's meaningful-human-review and developer-documentation obligations.

Four properties. One standard underneath.

Vorion is the standards body. Cognigate, AgentAnchor, Aurais are the operating ones. Kaizen is next.

// 02 · verify it yourself

Authority from the architecture, not a counter.

No private telemetry, no live-agent count — just three things anyone can check: the published standard, the conformance suite that runs, and the proof chain that verifies.

// 01 · PUBLISHED STANDARD
BASIS v0.9
Open, versioned spec. Every trust parameter, tier boundary, and risk level is readable.
// 02 · CONFORMANCE SUITE
Runnable
@vorionsys/basis-spec-conformance — pass it, prove it. Revision-stamped results, no vendor in the loop.
// 03 · SIGNED PROOF CHAIN
Verifiable
Every decision commits to a hash-linked, Ed25519-signed record you can check independently.
// GOVERNANCE DECISION LATENCY · MEASURED · SAME-REGION
~8ms
decision p50, co-located
~20ms
decision p95, co-located
<100ms
p95 SLO target

Same-region baseline. Cross-region decisions run higher until regional replicas are activated — the honest number, not a marketing one.
