Your Research Agent Cited a Paper. Did It Get It Right?

Signed decision traces for every research agents decision your AI agent makes.

The Problem

Research agents extract claims from papers and synthesize reports. When a misquoted statistic flows into a board deck, you need the extraction chain.

The Solution: A Signed Receipt

Every agent decision produces a cryptographically signed receipt. Immutable. Timestamped. Queryable.

// Every research agents decision gets a receipt:
{
"receipt_id": "rcpt_research_agents_8f3a",
"assertion": "agent believed [fact] at decision time",
"verification_score": 0.94,
"evidence_chain": [
{ "source": "context_snapshot", "span": "..." },
{ "source": "policy_state", "version": "2026-03-28T..." }
],
"signature": "ed25519:abc123...",
"timestamp": "2026-03-28T14:32:01Z",
"writer": "agent:research-v1",
"immutable": true
}

When This Pays For Itself

"A research report based on AI extraction contained a misquoted statistic. The board acted on it. You need the receipt showing exactly what the agent extracted from which paper."

With VerifiedState, you have the signed receipt. Without it, you have nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does VerifiedState work with research agents? +
Install the @verifiedstate/sdk package and call client.ingest() after every agent decision. Each decision is cryptographically signed and returns a queryable receipt. Three lines of code to add verified memory to any research agents workflow.
What does a verified decision trace look like? +
A verified trace includes the assertion (what the agent believed), the evidence chain (what context it had), a verification score, and a cryptographic Ed25519 signature. All timestamped and immutable. Queryable via API.
Is VerifiedState free? +
Yes. The free tier includes 25,000 decision traces per month. No credit card required. Enterprise tiers are available for regulated industries that need higher volumes and compliance features.
Is VerifiedState production-ready? +
VerifiedState is currently in beta. It is suitable for development, testing, and early production workloads. Not yet certified for production use in regulated industries without independent compliance review.
