Why it exists
Important digital instructions often outlive the apps and people that created them, so access rules need to be explicit and verifiable.

Concept detail · target pilotA metadata-only concept for planning time-delayed access and recovery. The current pilot creates a simulated plan; it does not encrypt or store real payloads. It is not a zero-knowledge service, and its cryptography, key custody, recovery, and time-lock behavior are not implemented or independently validated. Never enter production credentials, secrets, keys, or recovery phrases.
Proposed pilot workflow
- A proposed test would model a time rule and recovery plan using non-sensitive sample data only.
- Design goal: make the proposed rule, key-handling assumptions, and recovery steps visible to a reviewer.
- Design goal: provide a review artifact after key management, security, and export behavior are implemented and tested.
Prototype boundary
Zero-knowledge is an unverified design goal, not a current capability. The pilot accepts metadata only and does not implement payload encryption, key custody, release, or recovery. Never place production credentials or secrets in it. Cryptographic and jurisdiction-specific estate review remain external requirements.
Planned service shape
Target pilot pricing for validation—not a live subscription or promise of availability.
