Keepers of the door.
Durward is building the gate and the signed receipt, and planning the cover, for the work machines do. Today that means AI agents. Next, the robots and vehicles that will act in the physical world.
The name
A doorward kept the king's door.
In medieval Scotland the doorwards were the keepers of the royal household, which is how one family came to be called the Durwards.They served as doorwards, or keepers of the royal household, which is why they became known as the Durwards.

Our door is the one between a machine and the things it can't undo. Most traffic is meant to walk straight through. The few actions that matter wait to be let in.
What is true today
Early, and we say so.
No customers, no revenue and no partners yet. Here is exactly where each piece stands.
- The GateIs meant to hold the actions machines can't undo until a person says yes.Building
- The receiptA signed statement for every decision, designed for the IETF SCITT and COSE receipt standards.Draft format
- The ratingEvidence mapped to AIUC-1 and ISO/IEC 42001.Planned
- The coverNamed-peril cover meant to pay on the receipt. Not sold today.Planned
Where it goes
Agents first. Then everything that moves.
The same receipt is meant to work for a refund, a forklift and a delivery van. We start where the actions are already happening, and the record grows with every machine.
- Building
Now: AI agents
The Gate and the receipt, to be built with design partners on the actions agents already take.
- Planned
Next: the rating and the cover
Evidence auditors can check, then cover meant to pay on the receipt, through a licensed carrier we have yet to find.
- Planned
Later: robots and vehicles
The same record for machines that act in the physical world.
