$40,000 left to reach the funding goal.
AI agents now execute high-stakes tasks like payments, deletions, and messaging, yet no system logs their permissions or whether their actions can be reversed. I built GTC (Ground Truth Credential), an open disclosure protocol that a third party already uses in a Chrome extension, and a live Reversibility Check. This grant completes both.
The projects 3 goals cover: 1. GTC version 1.0 (a frozen specification, a reference verifier, and test vectors); 2. an open rubric with 50 worked scenarios, tested across gpt-oss, Granite, Gemma, and Claude; 3. working/submitting our MITRE ATLAS proposals and GTC fields through NIST and OWASP review.
The $40,000 covers our 3 goals. The GTC version 1.0 (a frozen specification, a reference verifier, and test vectors); the open rubric with 50 worked scenarios, tested across gpt-oss, Granite, Gemma, and Claude; and also carrying our MITRE ATLAS proposals and GTC fields through NIST and OWASP reviews. The $8,000 minimum funds the GTC verifier and test vectors only.
I work with Kyler Hansen (engineer) and Dee Lynn Johnson (advisor). Track record includes eight mitigations proposed to MITRE ATLAS (one pull request, still open), formal comments submitted to NIST, the NRC, and the FTC, and 22 issues of The Glasswing Translator. Our live tool is at cognitivefusion.systems/reversal-check.
The main risk is limited engineering hours, which could leave GTC as a prototype. The second is slow adoption, which I’m addressing by working directly through standards bodies.
I have raised no funding in the past 12 months. Pending applications: the GTR AI Safety Fund (same scope as this project) and the Transformative AI Fund (a separate deliverable). If GTR funds this work, I’ll lower the Manifund goal to match.
