A governance layer for certified rules and processes.

crtpt provides a formal model for certifying rules, governing processes, and retaining evidence across deterministic systems.

The full specification is defined in the crtpt whitepaper.

Governance, certification, and evidence retention

crtpt establishes the institutional structures required for systems that operate under certified rules and verifiable processes. It defines how rules are accredited, how process controls are enforced, and how evidence is captured and preserved for oversight.

• Certification — accreditation of rules, processes, and system behaviour.
• Evidence retention — durable, verifiable, tamper‑resistant institutional records.
• Policy enforcement — deterministic execution aligned with certified processes.

These foundations enable systems that require trust, auditability, and long‑term institutional alignment.

Why governance matters

As systems automate more decisions, institutions require guarantees that rules are applied consistently and that outcomes remain verifiable over time. Governance provides the structures that ensure certified processes cannot drift, improvise, or operate outside their authorised boundaries.

crtpt formalises these requirements, enabling predictable behaviour, transparent oversight, and long‑term accountability across deterministic environments.

Where crtpt applies

crtpt is designed for environments where rules must be certified, processes must be governed, and evidence must be retained with institutional guarantees. It applies wherever deterministic, auditable, and policy‑aligned behaviour is required.

• Regulated systems — domains that require certified rules, controlled processes, and verifiable outcomes.
• Institutional workflows — processes that must demonstrate compliance, traceability, and long‑term accountability.
• Automated decision systems — environments where deterministic execution and evidence retention are mandatory.

In these contexts, crtpt provides the governance layer that ensures certified processes operate predictably and remain aligned with institutional policy.
