The Thesis: Independent Authorization Works
Our hypothesis is that platform and security teams will allow TrustRelay to replace some mandatory manual review for low-risk, agent-authored pull requests — when it provides reliable attribution, required evidence, a reproducible policy decision, an understandable explanation, and a customer-controlled recovery path.
The Thesis
Platform and security teams will allow TrustRelay to replace some mandatory manual review for low-risk, agent-authored pull requests when it provides reliable attribution, required evidence, a reproducible policy decision, an understandable explanation, and a customer-controlled recovery path.
This is a testable claim. The product succeeds only when a customer delegates real merge authority. Reports and passports without an enforceable control point are necessary technical progress but insufficient market proof. We are testing this thesis with every deployment.
Our Values
Safety by Default
Every design decision defaults to the safe path. BLOCK always takes precedence over APPROVE. Safety is architectural, not aspirational.
Accountability
Every decision is attributed, signed, and immutably recorded. There is no action without a traceable authorization path.
Transparency
Authorization decisions are reproducible, explainable, and independently verifiable. The evidence is available for inspection by any authorized party.
Customer Control
You define the policy. You control the recovery path. TrustRelay provides the deterministic framework, but your organization retains authority.
Our Team
TrustRelay is built by a team with deep experience in authorization, platform engineering, and AI safety.
