CR-Lite

A working demonstration of the Continuity Receipts open standard

What is CR-Lite?

CR-Lite is a working demonstration of the EM Foundation's Continuity Receipts (CR) open standard. It shows how an AI system can answer a question, score its own confidence across five dimensions, evaluate those scores against a chosen reliance level, and persist every outcome as a cryptographically chained receipt.

Every receipt is cryptographically chained to the previous one, creating an auditable provenance trail. A PASS receipt includes the answer; a FAILURE receipt withholds the answer and documents exactly which thresholds were not met.

Reliance Levels

Level	Description
RC-1	Exploratory inquiry with no reliance on output
RC-2	Informational use with moderate confidence requirements
RC-3	Operational decisions; human review recommended
RC-4	Professional reliance; expert review required on failure
RC-5	Consequential decisions; highest confidence bar
