Autonomous actionAI execution gate
Require renewed human presence before an agent crosses a defined consequence threshold.
Presence / 01 · Human authority
Presence
Key.
Confirm the expected person before money moves, access is granted or a consequential system acts.
The human boundary
One physical check.
One bounded result.
Key adds an independent condition at the moment of consequence. It does not replace identity, policy or the institution responsible for the final decision.
How Key works
Participation becomes
evidence.
The workflow asks one narrow question: is the expected, accountable person physically participating now?
- 01
The institution asks.
A defined threshold is reached. The request identifies the action, expected person and assurance condition.
- 02
The person participates.
The enrolled Key is presented at the physical boundary. No general-purpose network connection is required.
- 03
Presence is checked.
A bounded result establishes whether the required physical participation condition is satisfied.
- 04
Existing policy acts.
The institution keeps authority to permit, deny, record or escalate the consequential action.
Where Key matters
Use it where the
wrong person changes the outcome.
Begin with a bounded decision rather than a broad identity transformation.
Autonomous actionExceptional value
Treasury movements, banking changes, procurement and payouts.
High-impact systems
Administrative action, recovery, service change and machine authority.
Critical spaces
Facilities, vehicles, shared equipment and temporary access.
Accountable handoff
Protected services, controlled assets and transfer of responsibility.
Key is not another connected endpoint.
A lost Key is not useful to another person.
Designed for a bounded, replaceable lifecycle.
Existing policy remains in control.
System boundary
Establish presence.
Preserve authority.
Key can establish a physical participation condition. Your institution retains identity, mandate, policy, exception handling and the final action.
The expected person is physically participating.
A purpose-limited result for one defined action and context.
Who is authorized and what happens next.
Identity, roles, limits, downstream decisions and the operational record remain under institutional governance.
Presence Key evaluation
Bring the action that cannot accept the wrong person.
We will define the physical claim, operating boundary and evidence needed to decide whether an evaluation is justified.
