Library

Papers and briefs, ungated.

The elan1 library holds four ungated papers: an architecture paper on the governed write path, a guide to reading a proof record for auditors, an RFP question set for buying AI agents that write to your systems, and a paper on the DPDP Act and append-only record chains.

Long-form writing for the people who have to sign off: architects, auditors, procurement and counsel. Every title is free to read and to reuse, with no form in front of it.

All four papers are published here in full (v1.0). Read them on the page, print them or share the link; we revise them as the platforms improve and log every change.

02How we publish

Written to be checked.

Ungated

No email to read or download. Where a paper is free to reuse — like the RFP question set — it says so on the first page.

Levelled and labelled

Every capability carries its assurance level and its mode. Nothing is claimed beyond what the record proves.

Reviewed before release

The author writes, the product owner checks it is technically true, and counsel reviews anything on regulation or pricing.
