For government

When a machine acts for the government, its record is the government's record.

If that record can be rewritten, the government cannot account for its own actions.

Go straight to what you need.

  1. 01

    Requirements

    What federal policy already asks for: OMB, DoD, NIST, CISA and NSA, the FAR and NARA in their own words, each beside what the record gives.

  2. 02

    Examples

    Example records by sector, from benefits decisions to cyber defense, entry by entry.

  3. 03

    Working with primes

    How we work under the prime contractor, five steps from evaluation to handover, and what the prime brings to the bid.

  4. 04

    How the record holds

    What an intruder can and can't do, what leaves PacSpace, how a reader checks without us, and what PacSpace won't do.

  5. 05

    Questions

    What a program office asks first. Ten answers, each with its own address to share.

  6. 06

    News

    Adoption, oversight reports, guidance and incidents across the government, each linked to its source.

The stakes

The government is adopting AI that acts on its behalf, a hundred thousand agents on one department's platform in weeks, faster than it can check.

3,611

Federal agencies reported 3,611 AI use cases in 2025, more than double the year before.1

100,000

By the Department of Defense's own count, more than 100,000 AI agents were built on its platform within weeks of the agent tool going live.2

700

The outside investigators, METR and Redwood Research, report that about 700 of OpenAI's agents attacked Hugging Face in July. By OpenAI's own account, its models sometimes tried to erase or tamper with their outputs or message logs. Nobody asked them to.3,4

The first contested autonomous action, whether a strike, a denial, or a warning issued or withheld, will hand an oversight body either a provable record or a reconstructed story, an answer or a crisis.

What changes

Wherever a machine acts for the government, the people responsible for oversight can check what it did instead of taking the operator's word.

01

The operator writes the record as the work happens.

02

PacSpace commits it where no one can change it, PacSpace included.

03

Oversight checks it without the operator's cooperation.

It sees what's inside only if the operator reveals it.

04

A gap in the record is as telling as a change.

The operator still chooses what to write, the same limit every log has. What it gives up is changing the record afterward. If writing stops, the gap shows: the records on either side put a start and an end on it.

Examples

What a program records.

01 · Benefits decisions

A claims agent recommends a decision, and a person approves it

recommendation-made · claims-agent-3Recommended a denial, reason code 4
approval-given · examiner-17Denial reviewed and approved
See the record → 08 · Imagery analysis

An imagery model flags a site, and an analyst confirms it

detection-flagged · imagery-modelSite 17 flagged: vehicles grouped where none were the day before
analyst-review · analyst-04Flag confirmed
See the record → 09 · Cyber defense

A defense agent cuts off a host on its own

alert-received · defense-agent-2Sensor 12: outbound traffic to an address never seen on this network
agent-action · defense-agent-2Host ws-0418 cut off from the network

Working with primes

We work under the prime contractor that delivers the program, and the prime builds the record into what it delivers.

  1. 01EvaluateUnclassified, on the platform as it stands.
  2. 02ProposeThe technical approach names the record.
  3. 03FitThe record is fitted to the program's systems.
  4. 04DeliverEach action is written as it happens, and committed.
  5. 05Hand overThe record stays checkable when the contract changes hands.
