The 2026 development

Trimble described agents drafting potential change orders from contracts, drawings and project records.

The governance gap

A change order is a financial and contractual instrument. The agent's draft must show which clause, drawing revision and record supports each line, and a human must own the approval.

Where CAIN-42 fits: Moat 4 — Execution Provenance & Attestation

Core question: Can we prove what actually happened? Hash-chained, signed records binding decision to execution to observable effect.

Build the change order as an evidence-backed claim: each line cites a document, a revision and a reviewer. The signed package preserves the source hashes and the approval chain.

How the wiring works

  1. Extract each line item and cite its source document and revision.
  2. Flag unsupported or conflicting citations.
  3. Require a human reviewer for each financial line.
  4. Sign the package and preserve the source hashes.
