Action receipt

A durable record of what an AI action did, with sources and, when one coherent compensating action exists, undo or restore.

Last updated 2026-07-26

An action receipt is the durable record of an AI action that changed your company: what ran, on what evidence, with what outcome, and how to reverse it when reverse is a single coherent step. Receipts answer “what happened while I wasn’t watching?” without turning the product into compliance middleware.

What’s on a receipt

Typical fields (exact UI varies by surface):

  • What ran (action type, target, summary)
  • Why (sources, brief rationale, policy path)
  • Outcome (succeeded, held, failed, corrected)
  • Undo / restore when one compensating action can put the world back

Not every multi-criterion scorecard gets one-click undo. A genuine one-action receipt does; a complex verification pack without a single reverse does not fake an undo button.
