Admissibility Debt

A scalar measure of how much unresolved evidence an action carries. Zero debt = fully admissible. Any non-zero debt = downstream systems may reject the action even if it executed.

What it will measure

The Admissibility Debt calculator scores a governed action across five evidence categories. Each category contributes to the total debt; the scorer returns a JSON record that can be attached to the action's receipt and re-evaluated on replay.

  • Capability shortfallActions taken under tokens that lack one or more required capability claims.
  • Policy driftReceipts evaluated against a policy version newer or older than the bound version.
  • Continuity gapsMissing STATE_REGISTER attestations across the action's session window.
  • Quorum dilutionTriumvirate decisions accepted with fewer than 2f+1 attestations.
  • Chain breaksReceipts whose prev_hash does not match the chain_seq − 1 receipt's hash.
