Protocol Reports

Documentary Accountability Substrate (DAS) — Introduction

Introduces the Documentary Accountability Substrate as the under-specified layer between governing text and operational obligation. Defines the D → A → L pipeline: governing text becomes auditable obligation artifacts (DDRP), which anchor an append-only accountability ledger (CAAP). Maps the framework to EU AI Act documentary obligations under Articles 11, 12, 17–21, 25–27, and 57–60.

DDRP: Comparative Analysis — Industrial Analogues and Alignment

Compares DDRP against four systems with strong structural alignment: VisibleThread VT Docs, IETF RFC 2119, FedRAMP RFC-0024 / OSCAL, and Proposal Quick Start. Establishes DDRP's position as the only domain-agnostic, open-protocol specification in the category. Includes side-by-side tables and a synthesis matrix.

CAAP: Introduction and Relationship to DDRP

Introduces the Contextual Accountability Attribution Protocol as the attribution layer above DDRP. Covers the two-layer architecture, the interface contract and hash semantics, why separation rather than integration is enforced, and the three structural guarantees — append-only, hash-bound, authority-declared.

DDRP + CAAP: Comparative Market Analysis

Positions the full stack against CLM platforms (Ironclad, Icertis, JAGGAER), GRC platforms (ServiceNow GRC, RSA Archer, MetricStream), and FedRAMP / OSCAL. Identifies the structural gap no commercial system fills, with a nine-property comparison matrix and three operational scenarios where the gap has legal and regulatory consequence.

Operational Documentation

DDRP How-To Guide

Step-by-step workflow for using DDRP as a pre-flight compliance instrument. Covers the five operational stages, the human judgment handoff boundary, and why this fits a CCO workflow. Written for compliance practitioners.

DDRP Execution Walkthrough

Complete end-to-end execution documented against California Assembly Bill 853 (2025). Technical and observational — documents behavior without interpretation.

DAS Pipeline — Live Demo

Interactive pipeline demonstration running DDRP and CAAP against real governing documents. Two paths: a California AI statute quick run (observer mode) and a full HR redundancy simulation (interactive). System prompts and raw API output are visible verbatim inside the demo.
