Why we existSoftware used to recommend. Now it acts.
An agent can refund an order, turn down an applicant or change a production system in the time it takes to read this sentence. Each of those is a decision about a person or a system, and each can be questioned long after the agent, its prompt and its model have all been replaced.
When the question comes, the account of what happened is spread across tools that were built for other jobs. The trace sits in one place, the approval in a chat thread, the policy version in a repository. Each is kept for as long as that tool happens to keep it, and each can only vouch for itself.
We think a consequential decision deserves what a payment or a signed contract already has: one record, made at the time, kept in custody, that a stranger can check. Stratl is that record layer and nothing else.
