Compliance · in development

Every AI call, signed.

When AI is making decisions on your behalf, you should be able to prove what was sent and what came back. That's what TraceSeal does — an open, free, language-agnostic receipt format. The spec is published, the libraries are published, the verifier is published. The MaximusDev cloud integration is what we're building now.

A real receipt

What a TraceSeal receipt looks like.

This is from a working production deployment on 15 April 2026 — third-party-verified on a separate machine using traceseal-verify, which had no access to the operator's audit log, keys, or machine. Receipt format spec v1.0 at traceseal.io.

executionWhat ran. The hashes of the inputs and outputs are recorded — not the values themselves — so a receipt can be shared publicly without leaking the data that was processed.
provenanceWho authorised the code. The publisher's signing fingerprint and transparency-log sequence number link this execution back to a specific signed code artefact.
attestationThe operator's signature over the execution and provenance blocks together. Anyone with the operator's public key can verify the receipt independently — no cooperation required from us, the customer, or anyone else.

What's shipped, what's coming.

Honest about the gap
SHIPPED · OPEN SOURCE

The protocol and libraries.

Receipt Spec v1.0, the traceseal-observe Python library (with observe_anthropic and observe_openai wrappers), and the traceseal-verify verifier are all on PyPI under Apache 2.0.

IN DEVELOPMENT

The MaximusDev integration.

Per-tenant Ed25519 operator keys, server-side receipt emission on every cloud AI call, and a Compliance tab where you download signed receipts as a JSON archive. The plan is in cloud-plan.md Phase 3.5.

PLANNED

The verifier-by-paste page.

A WASM verifier at traceseal.io/r/{hash} — paste a receipt, see whether it verifies, no install needed. On the TraceSeal Q2 roadmap; ships before MaximusDev's Compliance tier goes paid.

What this means for you, in plain English.

Why we're building it

You can answer the awkward email.

"Where did my data go?" gets a real answer with a verifiable receipt — not a vague paragraph from your privacy policy.

Procurement teams relax.

"How do you handle AI usage logs?" is the question that kills B2B deals. With receipts, the answer is one line plus a demo URL.

The format is open.

TraceSeal is Apache 2.0. If you ever leave MaximusDev, your receipts keep working — same verifier, same library, no lock-in.

You can verify without us.

The verifier doesn't need our cooperation. A regulator, an auditor, or your customer's IT team can check a receipt themselves with a single command.

Article 50 · EU AI Act

If you sell to the EU, you'll be ticking this box from August 2026.

EU AI Act Article 50 (transparency obligations for AI-touching apps) entered into force in August 2026. Full enforcement of the broader Act follows in August 2027. TraceSeal receipts cover the technical evidence side — what model, what input, what output, when, by whom. The Compliance + EU AI Act tier (planned: +£20/mo over the base Compliance tier) packages it into a quarterly report for your DPO.

Read the protocol →
Quarterly report — planned scope
  • Article 50(1) disclosure log per app
  • Risk classification per deployment
  • Model provenance ledger
  • Incident register (if any)
  • Sign-off page for your DPO
Bundle ships when MaximusDev integration ships. Listed here so you can decide if it's the column you need.

Compliance tier — early access.

Pricing when it ships: £39/mo Compliance (receipts), £59/mo Compliance + EU AI Act (receipts + quarterly report). For now, leave your email and we'll let you know when it goes live. No card, no commitment, no automatic enrolment.
