Behavior
Establish Behavior DNA baselines, identify mutation and drift, detect exact recurrence, and preserve recurrence memory.
Qualification before deployment
The production-admission layer for consequential AI agents.
GhostGate binds the exact version, its behavior, permissions, dependencies, policy, and review decision into one verifiable release record.
01 / The answer
Trust the version you reviewed—not the name on the agent.
Organizations need to know whether a particular combination of code, model, prompt, tools, identities, policy, memory, and dependencies may enter a particular production environment.
GhostGate registers that combination as an exact version, qualifies it against defined scenarios and policies, records the evidence, routes the decision to human reviewers, and issues a signed deployment attestation when approved.
If a material component changes, prior approval becomes invalid. The changed version returns to qualification instead of inheriting trust from an older release.
02 / How it works
Seven boundaries. One release decision.
The workflow keeps evidence attached to the version from initial registration through production admission, containment, and controlled re-entry.

03 / Exact-version binding
The qualification record has a precise subject.
A release decision is only defensible when reviewers can identify the exact system that was assessed and detect when it changes.
REGISTER
Bind the manifest
Record code, configuration, model, prompts, tools, identities, permissions, policies, memory, data connections, and shared dependencies.
QUALIFY
Build the evidence
Measure behavior against scenarios and policy, establish Behavior DNA, trace RiskChains and blast paths, and compare fleet relationships.
ADMIT
Enforce the decision
Require human approval, express conditional controls, sign the attestation, validate it at admission, and invalidate it after material change.
04 / Qualification dimensions
Review the agent and the authority around it.
GhostGate evaluates more than task completion because consequential failures often emerge from interactions between behavior, access, and shared infrastructure.
Permissions
Test allowed, denied, approval-bound, and conditional actions so release conditions reflect the authority the agent actually exercises.
Dependencies
Trace shared identities, services, data, models, and other dependencies that can widen the blast path beyond one version.
Policy
Qualify evidence against explicit policy packs and convert findings into controls that reviewers and admission systems can apply.
Causal risk
RiskChain analysis connects a behavior to its preconditions and consequences instead of presenting an isolated alert.
Fleet relationships
Cross-agent correlation and outbreak-cluster analysis reveal shared weaknesses, coordinated failures, and common causes across versions.
05 / Control after review
Approval remains conditional and reversible.
- Human authority: reviewers decide whether a version is qualified, conditionally qualified, paused, failed back, or rejected.
- Signed evidence: Ed25519 deployment attestations make the version and approval record independently verifiable.
- Graduated response: controls can restrict, pause, contain, fail back, or require approval without treating every issue as identical.
- Controlled re-entry: affected versions re-enter only after evidence, policy, and human review support the next decision.
- Material-change invalidation: meaningful changes end the authority of the prior attestation and require a new qualification cycle.

We will map the exact version, its authority, the decision boundary, and the evidence required for a bounded qualification pilot.
