AI verification — but not how you think
Before Claude runs semantic verification, deterministic checks run first: GitHub repos are queried via API (does the repo exist? does it have commits?), URLs are pinged (HTTP 200?), and deliverable IDs are cross-referenced against the scope.
The AI generates a confidence score (0–100%). Auto-release only triggers if confidence ≥ 75%. Below that, funds stay frozen for manual review.
"AI cannot release funds. It only generates verifiable evidence." — Aqoryn protocol
