Your AI is working without a paper trail

Every AI tool you use today operates with zero accountability. No audit trail. No attribution. No governance. That's a liability.

📄

No Proof of Authorship

If someone copies your AI-assisted content, you can't prove it was yours first. Your IP has no paper trail.

⚠️

No Approval Gates

Your AI sends messages, accesses data, and publishes content with no record of what went wrong when it goes wrong.

👥

No Attribution

Collaborators build together. But there's no system tracking who contributed what when revenue flows from the work.

Three layers. One command.

Charter protects your business with three governance layers that work together automatically.

1

Hard Rules

Define what your AI can never do. Never send a message without approval. Never access financials without authorization. Never publish without review. These aren't suggestions. They're enforced.

2

Smart Escalation

Not everything needs your approval. But some things do. Set thresholds for what gets escalated and what runs automatically. You control the decisions that matter.

3

Proof

Every action recorded to a tamper-proof cryptographic chain. Every piece of content stamped with who created it, which AI was used, and what rules were active. That stamp is your receipt.

Governance that works the way you work

Charter is designed for people who build, create, and sell. Not just compliance officers.

🔒

Content Provenance

Every post, product description, and campaign asset gets a verifiable stamp. Proves you made it first. Proves what AI tools you used. EU AI Act ready out of the box.

🤝

Collaboration with Receipts

Work with copywriters, designers, VAs, and brand partners. Charter tracks contributions to the chain. The attribution graph shows who contributed what. No more disputes.

💰

Revenue Distribution

Charter's cooperative distribution engine takes attribution data and automates payouts. Transparent. Auditable. Every collaborator sees exactly how their share was calculated.

👥

Team Management

Create a team. Send an invite token. No sign-up page. No onboarding funnel. No OAuth. Your team is governed from minute one.

🛡

Kill Switch

Three automatic triggers stop everything and alert you: ethics declining, audits being bypassed, or the system flagging a conflict. Your AI monitors itself.

🌐

Works With Any AI

Claude, GPT, Grok, Copilot, Gemini. Charter runs as an MCP server that connects to any model. Same governance, any AI. Local or remote.

"The value of AI is not in the tokens. Tokens are going to zero.
The value is in the humans who provide judgment, context, and ethics."
The Charter Thesis
