Introduction

SOVR is the first dedicated Responsibility Layer for Executive AI. We solve the double-check dilemma by placing a sovereign verification system between intent and execution.

The Problem

When AI agents execute critical decisions, you face a dilemma:

• Trust blindly → Risk catastrophic errors
• Check everything → Lose all efficiency gains

This is the double-check problem.

The Solution

SOVR provides:

Feature	Description
Gate	Default-deny gateway for AI actions
Approval Chain	Multi-level human oversight
Audit Trail	Tamper-proof decision logs
Kill Switch	Emergency stop with instant recovery
Evidence	Cryptographic proof for compliance

Why SOVR?

Feature	Traditional AI	With SOVR
Error Detection	Post-hoc	Pre-execution
Human Oversight	Manual sampling	Automated routing
Audit Trail	Fragmented logs	Cryptographic chain
Emergency Stop	Kill process	Graceful halt + rollback
