Ripcord
■ INCIDENT DOSSIER · EVIDENCE PACKAGE

One click, the complete incident record

This package assembles what the gateway already holds: a timestamped timeline of every action the agent attempted, the per-action verdicts and expected-loss scores, the conduct signals that fired, who approved what and when, the reversal proofs, and the agent's conduct grade before and after. Formatted for a postmortem, a board, a regulator, or an insurer. Every row traces to the hash-chained ledger.

Why this exists: among organizations reporting AI incidents, the share hit 3 to 5 times rose from 30% to 50% in a year, while "excellent" self-rated incident response fell from 28% to 18% (McKinsey and AI Index survey, via Stanford AI Index 2026). The dossier is the response.

■ NEAR-MISS REPORT

What Ripcord caught, and what it would have caught

Every consequential agent action this period, scored by expected loss. This copy is computed live from the demo workspace; yours is built from your own ledger. Shadow-mode entries were observed without gating: the "would have caught" section is what a live gateway stops on day one.

Your agents, ranked

By expected loss averted: the near-misses each agent generated that Ripcord and a human caught in time.

Agent conduct

Doing the job is not the same as doing what you asked. Every off-mandate move, every re-attempt after a rejection, every runaway loop gets classified and counted here. Benchmarks tell you what a model can do; this ledger tells you what it did.

Risk posture by department

Corridor grades reflect the intervention-worthy exposure this period.

What we'd change

Derived from your own ledger. Accept these, and next month's report gets quieter.

    Would have caught

    Shadow-mode observations whose risk tier would have held or blocked the action.

    Caught

    Actions a human rejected, stopped mid-flight, took over, or rolled back — each one a loss that didn't happen.

    Every line above is a row in the actuarial table: the near-miss ledger no one else can see.
