How it works

The grader can’t be the graded.

Scaffolde is an independent layer that sits outside the model vendors, between your AI and the people who must trust it. Here’s how a run becomes a proof.

The independent layer

Why an outside party has to do the proving.

When the company that builds the model also certifies that the model worked, the certificate is worth nothing. Scaffolde connects to Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, xAI, and open-source providers, but is owned by none of them. The party signing the proof has no stake in any model’s reputation.

That independence is the product. It’s what makes a Scaffolde attestation something you can hand to a regulator, an auditor, or a customer and have it mean something.

The flow

Verify → attest → prove → audit.

Four steps turn an AI run into a tamper-evident record anyone can check.

01 / VERIFY

Criteria, then check

Acceptance criteria are set before the AI does the work. When the run finishes, its ask, actions, and output are checked against those criteria.

02 / ATTEST

Independent signature

A party with no stake in the model signs the result, recording what was asked, what was done, and whether it passed.

03 / PROVE

Tamper-evident bundle

The action trace, evidence, and attestation are sealed into a SHA-256 proof bundle you can open, export, and verify.

04 / AUDIT

Reportable record

Every proof rolls up into a running, queryable record: pass rates, provider coverage, and full history for any auditor.

Inside a proof

What every record contains.

A
The original ask. The exact request the AI was given, captured verbatim.
B
The action trace. Every step the AI took to reach its result: tools, calls, and intermediate work.
C
The proof bundle. Evidence checked against the up-front criteria, sealed and hashed.
D
The independent attestation. The signature of the party that has no stake in the model.
E
The vendor boundary. Which provider and model ran. Recorded, never trusted to self-certify.

You can’t trust an AI’s word that it did the work. You can trust an independent, tamper-evident record of how it did the work.
