Ingestion & Normalisation
The interaction enters the pipeline. Payload validated, canonicalised under RFC 8785, hashed under SHA-256, timestamped at ingestion.

VERIDOM · OPERATING MODEL PROTOCOL — OMP™
Prove every decision.
Evidence infrastructure for regulated industries. Every interaction resolves to one of three accountable outcomes — and the proof is sealed at the moment of decision, verifiable by any third party without access to your systems or ours.

4 REGULATED DOMAINS
THE PREMISE
Evidence generators record what happened. OMP™ makes certain things impossible without evidence.
01 — THE PROBLEM
Every regulated institution operates with a gap between what its systems do and what it can prove they did.
Layer 01
Policy → Practice
The institution has the right policies. Its agents and systems do not consistently follow them.
Layer 02
Practice → Evidence
The practice happens — but the evidence trail is incomplete, reconstructed, or missing entirely.
Layer 03
Evidence → Examination
The evidence exists, but cannot be produced in the form a regulator requires, when the regulator requires it.
The dominant market response is observational — monitoring, dashboards, retrospective reports. It addresses the third layer at best. OMP closes the gap architecturally, at the point of decision: the wrong outcome cannot be produced without a sealed, externally verifiable record of why it was produced and under whose authority.
02 — WHAT YOU GET
We don't sell dashboards. We sell the answer.
When the question comes — from a regulator, an auditor, a court — what you need is the record. Veridom installs the layer that produces it, and hands you the proof.

Evidence Gap Diagnostic
A structured assessment of where your institution's evidence gap is widest — decision by decision, system by system. You see exactly what you can and cannot prove today.

OMP™ Deployment
The protocol installed above your existing stack — any model, any vendor. Deterministic routing, named accountability, and sealed evidence on every AI-mediated decision.
INFRASTRUCTURE · YOURS, NOT RENTED
C
The Proof-Point Artifact
A sealed, regulator-ready evidence pack covering every AI-mediated interaction in the period — produced in under 30 seconds, verifiable by anyone.
DELIVERABLE · EXAMINER-READY03 — THE PROTOCOL
Five stages. Invariant across every vertical, every deployment, every version.
The Decision Engine determines what the system does. The Evidence System proves what the system did.
Intent Classification
Hash integrity re-verified — any mismatch escalates immediately. The interaction is classified to a registered Intent Class with its own routing threshold θ.
mismatch → ESCALATED · ESC-09
Watchtower Evaluation
Domain-specific enforcement rules evaluated in priority order. Every Watchtower's verdict is recorded — whether or not it fired.
severity ∈ { HARD_BLOCK, FORCE_ASSISTED }
Routing & Authority Binding
The deterministic routing function assigns exactly one outcome state. For ASSISTED and ESCALATED, a named accountable human is bound to verifiable authority — or execution is refused.
R(C, W, θ, φ) → { AUTONOMOUS · ASSISTED · ESCALATED }
Trace Sealing
The complete Audit Trace is sealed: content hash, RFC 3161 trusted timestamp, institutional signature, Merkle chain entry. Appended to the append-only ledger.
H_content → TST → signature → H_c
04 — THREE STATES. NO FOURTH OPTION.
The routing decision is a deterministic function. Same inputs, same outcome, every time.
Adjust the inputs below. The outcome is computed, not judged — identical inputs always resolve to the identical state.

Confidence clears the threshold. The system dispatches without human review — and the full trace is still sealed.
AUTONOMOUS
Confidence clears θ. No Watchtower objection. Dispatched without review; trace sealed.
ASSISTED
A named accountable human must approve, edit, or reject before dispatch — under bound authority.
ESCALATED
Direct human handling under SLA. Hard blocks, policy violations, ambiguous intent, low confidence.
05 — THREE INVARIANTS
The technical basis of every claim Veridom makes.
I
Deterministic Routing
Given canonicalised inputs — payload, source-state hashes, pinned model configuration — the routing outcome is deterministic. Identical inputs produce identical outcomes.
WHY IT HOLDS UPThe decision is reproducible from the sealed trace. No one can argue the system "might have" decided differently on the same inputs.
II
Immutable Trail
Every decision is sealed at the moment of decision: SHA-256 over canonical JSON, RFC 3161 trusted timestamp, institutional signature, Merkle-chained ledger.
WHY IT HOLDS UPPost-decision modification is detectable by any third party — without access to the institution's or Veridom's infrastructure.
III
Verifiable Authority Binding
Every ASSISTED or ESCALATED decision binds a named accountable human to verifiable authority at the moment of decision — or execution is refused, and the absence itself is sealed.
WHY IT HOLDS UPNo one can claim authority was present but undisclosed. AUTHORITY_UNBOUND is positive evidence of absence, not a silent failure.
06 — VERIFIABLE WITHOUT TRUST
Don't trust the record. Verify it.
Below is a sealed Audit Trace. Verification recomputes the SHA-256 content hash live in your browser — the same check a regulator, court, or auditor runs. Then tamper with it, and watch the seal break.

08 — BUILT FOR BOTH SIDES OF THE TABLE
Compliance asks if it will satisfy the examiner. Engineering asks if it will break the stack. Yes — and no.
"Will this satisfy the regulator?"
- Examiner-ready evidence on every AI-mediated decision — not quarterly reconstructions
- Named, verified accountability on every human sign-off — or execution refuses
- Board-defensible artifacts produced in seconds, not weeks
"Will this work in our stack?"
- Sits above the inference layer — any model, any vendor, one evidence schema
- Deterministic and testable: same inputs, same outcome, reproducible from the trace
- Open specification published at the IETF — no proprietary lock-in

Open by design. Verifiable by anyone.
The full OMP™ specification is published for anyone to read, implement, and test against — twelve Internet-Drafts at the IETF, covering the core protocol and vertical profiles from UK Consumer Duty to the EU AI Act.
That openness is the point. Your auditors, your regulators, and your counterparties can check OMP™ evidence without asking Veridom — or anyone else — for permission. No proprietary formats. No gatekeepers.
