How it works

How enforcement works

V4A returns a verdict. Your product applies it. The ledger records it. That’s the whole machine.

1) Configure policy

Define thresholds and grace behavior. Strict, not stupid.

  • • min_due
  • • grace_days
  • • escalation curve
2) Product asks for verdict

Your login/API/feature/delivery gate calls the lock-state contract.

  • • ALLOW or DENY
  • • reason_code
  • • decision_id + ledger_id
3) Ledger is law

Every decision is recorded. If evidence is missing: DENY. If ledger write fails: fail closed.

4) OBSERVE then ENFORCE

Start in OBSERVE to prove safety. Flip one flag to enforce consequences.
