The missing layer
Enterprise AI is moving from chat tools to autonomous actors. When a regulator or customer asks "Why did the agent do that?", the answer cannot require a vendor dashboard login.
Gate · Settle · Prove is SKENAI's membrane grammar:
| Beat | Role |
|---|---|
| Gate | Authorize before mutation |
| Settle | Terminal ledger row when work closes |
| Prove | Portable Passport URL any party can inspect |
This nine-part series walks the deck — one beat per article — with honesty guards baked in. We publish receipts and outcomes, not factory-floor ops vocabulary.
