## What it is

Zero-trust tool-argument gate. AI/OCR may propose dollar parameters; only an Ed25519-signed ParameterManifest that clears the hard security check may enter tax, underwriting, claims, or payment engines. Formerly ParamGate. Works with any orchestrator — ChorusGraph optional.

## Problem

Deterministic Engine + Unverified Probabilistic Input = Deterministic Wrong Answer. Fluent OCR/LLM dollars must not execute in money engines.

## Alternatives

- **Ungated LLM/OCR → engine** — The alternative in production is treating extracted dollars as trusted input. PrismManifest is the signed-manifest boundary; there is no published competitor bake-off page.

## Features

- **Tool-Argument Gate** — Sits between LLMs/OCR and your tax, underwriting, claims, or payment engine so unverified money never enters the run.
- **Signed ParameterManifest** — Ed25519-signed manifests only — not “0.87 confidence” as permission to pay.
- **Fail-Closed Boundary** — Hard security check (C++ and/or Python twin) verifies the signed manifest before the engine runs. Soft CTA: MANIFEST.

## Architecture

Evidence spans → allow / human / refuse → Ed25519 ParameterManifest → hard check (C++ and/or Python twin) before the engine. Integrity stack: PrismGuard (who may speak) · Prism-Eval (CI) · PrismManifest (which numbers may execute) · Prism-Shield (runtime gateway) · PrismShine (grounding).

## Use cases

- Tax engines (Form 1040 Line 11 AGI lab)
- Underwriting, claims, and AP money arguments (pattern tabs are illustrative)
- Any orchestrator that must not pass unverified dollars into a deterministic engine

## Benchmarks

Fixed sample Form 1040 AGI $450,000 fixture used by the Digit Drop Lab and interactive demo.
