Anchor your AI's decisions
to a court-grade audit trail.

An anchor-and-prove substrate beneath your existing agent stack.

TrustAI does not replace your legal-AI agents, your retrieval layer, or your reasoning model. It sits below them. Every substantive decision your agents produce — a clause review, a redline, a risk flag, a cite-check, an attorney override — gets a cryptographic receipt that an examiner can verify independently and that your firm can produce on demand.

An AI agent without a tamper-evident decision record is a malpractice exposure waiting for a discovery request.

AI-native legal firms are shipping faster than the audit, governance, and state-bar oversight layer underneath them is forming. The first time opposing counsel asks for the model version, the input hash, the reasoning trace, and the cross-validation result behind a contract clause review your agent produced eighteen months ago, the firm that can produce that record and the firm that can't are on opposite sides of a malpractice claim.

• State-bar discipline. Several state bars have issued formal ethics opinions and opened disciplinary inquiries on AI-tool use under existing competence and supervision rules. The substrate of evidence is not on most firms' shelf yet.
• Federal Rule of Evidence 902(13) and 902(14). Records generated by a process or system that produces an accurate result are self-authenticating with a certification from a qualified person. TrustAI's audit-pack ships that certification template inline.
• Single-vendor self-review is not cross-validation. Asking the same model to grade its own work is not the methodology a sophisticated opposing expert will accept. TrustAI's cross-validation anchors are independent vendor calls under a divergence threshold.
• The firm asserts privilege; the substrate anchors the assertion. The substrate does not adjudicate privilege, scope of authority, or competence. Your bar-licensed attorney does. TrustAI records that the assertion was made, at what timestamp, against which inputs and outputs.

Five steps from your agent stack to a Knox-anchored decision receipt.

1. Request an API key. Email Jonis directly — there is no procurement queue. You receive a tier-scoped bearer token that authenticates anchor and batch-anchor calls and counts against a rate ceiling.
2. Wrap your agent's decision-emit path. After your agent finalizes a substantive output, compute a SHA-256 over the input, the output, and the reasoning trace your firm keeps. Pass the digests as opaque tokens — the substrate never receives raw matter content.
3. POST one event per decision. Send the event_type, the payload (per the event-type schema), and an idempotency key your agent generates. The substrate returns a receipt with anchor_hash, sequence, previous_hash, and a verify_url.

   curl -X POST https://trustailaw.com/api/trustai/v1/decisions/anchor \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRUSTAI_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "event_type": "legal_contract_clause_reviewed",
       "payload": {
         "matter_internal_ref": "<your-opaque-matter-token>",
         "clause_internal_ref": "<your-opaque-clause-token>",
         "model_version": "claude-sonnet-4-6",
         "model_vendor": "Anthropic",
         "input_hash": "<sha256-of-clause-text>",
         "output_hash": "<sha256-of-review-output>",
         "reasoning_trace_hash": "<sha256-of-trace>",
         "risk_score": 0.42,
         "anchored_at": "2026-05-14T21:30:00.000Z"
       },
       "idempotency_key": "<your-unique-key>"
     }'

4. Store the receipt with your matter record. Your firm's case-management system keeps the receipt next to the decision it covers. The receipt is the production-grade evidence your firm hands over later; the substrate is the verification mechanism that survives independent of you.
5. Generate a per-matter audit pack on request. When discovery, an audit, or a malpractice query lands, POST the matter scope to /api/trustai/v1/audit-pack/generate and receive a deterministic zip with the FRE 902 certificate, examiner verification instructions, and every signed record under the scope.

   curl -X POST https://trustailaw.com/api/trustai/v1/audit-pack/generate \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $TRUSTAI_API_KEY" \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
       "matter_internal_ref": "<your-opaque-matter-token>",
       "scope_label": "<short-human-readable-label>",
       "requestor_internal_ref": "<your-opaque-requestor-token>"
     }'

A self-authenticating bundle and a public verify endpoint they can run without your help.

The per-matter audit pack is a deterministic zip with four components, each structured so a reviewer who has never spoken to your firm can verify the record's integrity end to end.

• manifest.json — canonical-JSON with sorted keys. Lists every signed record by event type, payload hash, block hash, sequence, and timestamp. Integrity-hashed in the certificate.
• certificate-of-authenticity.txt — FRE 902(13) and 902(14) self-authentication template. Your firm's bar-licensed attorney of record signs the printed certificate; the template language separates what the firm attests (matter identity, requestor identity, timing of decision capture) from what TrustAI attests (anchoring, signature, Bitcoin-roll path).
• verification-instructions.md — three-call verification procedure: chain-block lookup, Merkle inclusion check, and OpenTimestamps Bitcoin proof verification against any independent Bitcoin full node. The examiner does not have to trust Bonis Systems and does not have to trust TrustAI remaining online.
• signed-records/ — one file per anchored decision under the matter scope. Each record carries its event-type schema, the payload hash, the wrapping chain block hash (Merkle leaf), and the ML-DSA-87 signature over the chain-block hash.

For events whose payload may be surfaced on the no-auth public verify endpoint, the audit pack carries the published payload directly. For matter-internal events — clause review, redline, risk flag, attorney override, citation provenance, matter decision, document provenance, privilege scope, conflict check, cross-validation — the public endpoint returns the anchor and chain integrity without surfacing the payload content. Default-deny on payload preserves matter confidentiality while keeping anchor existence and chain integrity publicly verifiable.

The substrate, in technical terms.

USPTO provisional application 64/036,498 (TrustAI), filed 2026-04-11. Inventor of record: Jonis Aaron Fields. Bonis Systems LLC is not yet assignee; assignment is deferred to dedicated IP counsel. Provisional applications do not confer granted patent rights.

An honest read on what is live, what is open, and what is on roadmap.

• Per-matter audit-pack generator Live. POST /api/trustai/v1/audit-pack/generate — deterministic zip, FRE 902(13)+(14) certificate, examiner verification instructions, per-event signed records, ML-DSA-87 signatures throughout.
• Knox chain, OpenTimestamps Bitcoin anchoring, ML-DSA-87 signature Live and verifiable at /api/blockchain/verify and /api/blockchain/ots/proofs. Chain integrity does not depend on TrustAI remaining online.

• Errors & omissions (cyber/tech-services) insurance Not yet bound. Coverage terms available on request.
• Public sandbox demo Live at /sandbox. Public no-auth interactive demo against an isolated sandbox chain; receipts byte-distinguishable from production (sandbox blocks carry an explicit chain: "trustai-sandbox" marker inside the hashed payload and omit the ML-DSA signature). 100 anchors / hour per source IP, 30-day chain rotation.

Pricing on request — this is a working production substrate, not a free trial.
