ReceiptProof — every AI claim in your team workflow, stamped with a verifiable paper trail
A middle layer for business teams using AI agents to draft contracts, summarize contracts, or run customer comms — it captures the exact inputs, prompts, and retrieved sources behind every AI output and produces a one-click audit packet.
compliance officers, legal-ops leads, and operations managers at mid-market firms using AI in customer-facing or regulated workflows

- One-click export of an audit-ready packet (inputs, model version, retrieved docs, timestamps) for legal review
- Alerts when an AI workflow shows signs of self-justification, like citing its own summary as evidence
- Department-level dashboards showing which workflows rely most on unverified AI output
