── Honest Comparisons ──

Compare.

Verdict is not the same category as observability or governance tools. We say so directly, with honest tradeoffs.

Verdict vs LangSmith →

Cryptographic evidence layer vs LLM debugging tool. Different audiences, often run together.

Verdict vs Zenity →

Evidence layer vs governance layer. Governance enforces; Verdict proves enforcement happened.

Self-custodied receipts →

A pattern, not a vendor. Where a receipt the system writes and holds is enough — and where an adverse reader ends it.

Ephemeral proofs →

Zero-knowledge receipts prove the most at issuance — and can hold the least at trial. Where single-use, vendor-hosted proofs shine, and where the late reader ends them.
