  "one_line": "A service that journals every request and response an AI agent makes through a connector such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive or Slack, and replays that journal into the views the agent saw, with a before and after for every change and a revert plan for each one.",
  "question": "Do you know what your agents did?",
  "policy": [
    {
      "q": "What can the agent do?",
      "without": "The scopes you granted, if anybody wrote them down.",
      "with": "The same scopes, plus the list of actions they allow that cannot be undone, such as a permanent delete or a sent email."

      "q": "What did it do?",
      "without": "The agent's own summary, and administrator audit logs that record that events changed.",

      "q": "What did it see?",

      "q": "Can you undo it?",
      "without": "Deletes to trash, yes, for 30 days. Edits, sent email and notifications, no. A permanent delete, only by an administrator's bulk restore within 25 days.",
      "with": "A revert plan for every change, and a named list of what cannot be undone and why."

      "q": "Can you show someone else?",
      "without": "Your word, and screenshots.",

      "Broker and processor compute is estimated at 3 GBP per agent per month at small scale, so infrastructure is about 3.10 GBP per agent per month including storage.",
      "Two founders at 6,000 GBP a month each fully loaded, plus 2,000 GBP a month of tooling, is a monthly burn of 14,000 GBP."
