Show HN: Free attestation for AI agent decisions – verifying one costs $0.10
Rubric Decision Attestation Attesting an AI agent's decisions is free. Every audit-trail product prices the write, so teams attest selectively - and a trail with gaps proves nothing. This inverts it: attestation writes cost nothing, forever, and what costs money is doubt.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
Rubric Decision Attestation Attesting an AI agent's decisions is free. Verifying one costs $0.10. Every audit-trail product prices the write, so teams attest selectively - and a trail with gaps proves nothing. This inverts it: attestation writes cost nothing, forever, and what costs money is doubt. Anyone can verify any record for $0.10, machine-to-machine over x402, no account. What a record is: hash commitments only (SHA3-256 over JCS) - the decision payload never leaves your client by default. Records chain per agent, carry Merkle proofs, are signed by a threshold of ML-DSA-65 (post-quantum) keys across regions, and are anchored to Hedera mainnet minutes after the decision. Once anchored, nobody can backdate or revise a record. Including us.
