TAMPER-EVIDENT BY DESIGN

Proof that can't be forged.

Every review step -- prompt, model output, findings, consensus -- is individually hashed and chained into a tamper-evident bundle. Modify one byte and the entire chain breaks. No proprietary format. SHA-256 end to end.

THE GOVERNANCE GAP

Every unchecked commit is a breach waiting for a subpoena.

AI writes code faster than your team can review it. Regulators are not slowing down. The gap between what ships and what is governed grows every sprint. GuardSpine closes it -- automatically, on every PR, with cryptographic proof.

JUDGMENT RECEIPTS

Structured proof that governance happened.

Risk Tier Assigned
Every PR is classified L0-L4 based on file patterns, sensitive zones, and change size.
Models That Reviewed
Multiple AI models review independently. No single model decides alone.
Independent Findings
Each reviewer produces findings before seeing the others. No groupthink.
Cross-Check Results
Round 2 anonymous cross-check. Models evaluate each other's findings.
Consensus Decision
Majority vote with ties breaking strictest. Agreement score quantified.
Hash Chain
SHA-256 chain from prompt to bundle. One bit changes, the whole chain breaks.
HOW IT WORKS

Your engineers install a GitHub Action. You get the dashboard.

For your engineering team
Add one YAML file to the repo
Reviews trigger on every pull request
Results appear as PR comments
No new tool, no context switching
For you
Dashboard shows every reviewed PR
Evidence bundles for auditors on demand
Compliance mapping across SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI
Export-ready reports -- no manual assembly
The adoption problem is solved by design. Engineers never leave GitHub. Leadership never asks engineers to fill out a form. The governance evidence is a byproduct of the existing workflow.
OPEN SOURCE

You should not trust a proprietary tool to audit your code.

The review engine is open source under Apache 2.0. You can read the code, fork it, run it offline. Evidence bundles are verified with an open-source tool. No vendor lock-in for the core governance function.
