Use Case

Your platform processes
millions of decisions.
None of them have a record.

Every refund your platform approves is a decision. Every chargeback dispute. Every fraud flag. Every in-app purchase reversal. Payment infrastructure platforms make these calls millions of times a day. Right now, none of them produce a sealed, independently verifiable record.

The Problem

When a dispute lands, you need more than a log file.

Transaction logs record that something happened. They do not record who authorized it, under what policy, with what authority. When a publisher disputes a chargeback decision or a regulator asks how your fraud system works, a log file is not an answer.

Payment platforms operating in gaming face this constantly. A studio disputes a bulk refund decision. A processor questions a fraud flag. A regulator asks whether a human reviewed a blocked transaction. The platform has the outcome. It does not have the record.

Chargeback Dispute
Who made the call to approve this refund?
Your rules engine did. But you cannot prove it, show the policy it applied, or confirm no human overrode it after the fact.
Fraud Flag
Why was this transaction blocked?
Your fraud model flagged it. The decision happened in milliseconds. There is no sealed record of what the model saw or what threshold triggered the block.
Regulatory Review
Was a human in the loop on high-value reversals?
Maybe. Your policy says yes. Your logs do not prove it. That gap is the liability.
Publisher Dispute
Can you show us every decision made on our account this quarter?
You can show them transaction records. You cannot show them a sealed, independently verifiable artifact that proves those records were not edited.
How ProjectLedger Helps

Every decision your platform makes gets recorded the moment it happens.

Hook ProjectLedger into any decision process with a single API call. Your fraud engine, your refund logic, your chargeback rules, your human review queue. All of them call the same promote() endpoint. All of them produce the same sealed record.

When someone asks a hard question about a specific decision on a specific date, you open the artifact. The answer is in there. Signed. Verifiable. Permanent.

Fraud Detection Engine
agent_autonomous
Your ML model flags a transaction. promote() records the decision automatically. Actor: service. No human involvement required.
Refund Rules Engine
agent_autonomous
Your refund policy logic fires on every request. Each approval or denial is recorded with the policy version that applied at that moment.
Human Review Queue
human_in_the_loop
Agent proposes. Reviewer approves or overrides. Both actions recorded. The sealed record proves a human was actually in the loop.
Chargeback Decision
human_led
A human makes the final call on a disputed transaction. The promote button records who decided, when, and with what authority.
The Deliverable

A sealed artifact your legal team can actually use.

At the end of the evaluation period, you receive Artifact 5, a KMS asymmetric-signed bundle containing every decision recorded during the window. The private signing key is non-exportable and remains inside Google Cloud KMS. Independently verifiable by anyone with the public key.

✓Proves which decisions were human-led vs. automated
✓Proves records were not modified after the fact
✓Verifiable without access to your systems
✓Works for fraud engines, rules logic, and human queues
✓No schema changes to your existing infrastructure
