GSP Passport series — honesty guards and core identity

Slide 6 — Comparison matrix

Where GSP wins — and where we do not oversell

Dimension	Legacy IAM	Walled-garden AI	SKENAI GSP
Autonomy	Prompt-bound	Host-constrained	Dispatch + receipt on awarded work
Portability	Environment-bound	Platform-locked	Receipt URLs + public dossier
Audit	Log-based	Black box	Terminal receipts + detect-on-tamper chain lanes
Liability	Ambiguous	Vendor assumes	Delineated via gate + prove beats

Honesty guard: we do not claim shipped offline cryptographic verification on every Passport today. We claim receipt-backed accountability that is designed to port — and harden — outside the vendor loop.
