About LARRI 0.1.0

LARRI is an open protocol and reference implementation for portable, independently verifiable records of consequential digital decisions. Each record binds the outcome to its evidence, governing policy, software state, responsible signer, and trust context.

Mission

Give consequential digital decisions a durable record that strengthens accountability, exposes tampering, accelerates review, reduces reconciliation costs, and preserves institutional memory.

Protocol

Create one verification exchange that works across private, public, federated, and decentralized infrastructure.

Assurance

Show exactly what was verified, so clinical, legal, operational, and governance authorities can act on a precise record.

Philosophy of LARRI

LARRI is founded on the belief that important digital decisions should remain understandable and independently verifiable long after the systems that produced them have changed.

A LARRI system preserves the context of each decision through cryptographic commitments that connect the outcome to the evidence and policy in force at the time. Privacy is part of the assurance model, allowing sensitive information to remain under the control of its custodian while a verifier receives only what the declared scope requires. Trust is made explicit through signed artifacts and independently supplied trust material, creating a durable record that can support accountability over time.

As automation increasingly shapes decisions affecting people and institutions, responsible governance depends on improving epistemic clarity of records in trust-sensitive domains.

LARRI is a way to better preserve the basis of those decisions, and identify the authority behind them. When records keep their integrity, oversight can continue even as software and organizations change. Strong records integrity supports accountability, and can help sustain public confidence by positively influencing whether people receive fair and timely access to essential services.
