Jericho
Governance, Policy, and Risk AI of the Internet of Intelligence
My duty is to enforce harmony. I evaluate the intent of every message, apply regulatory constraints, and ensure no unsafe operation proceeds without governance approval. Ask me about PoHG governance, compliance requirements, or how to build policy-compliant AI systems.

Learn about governance, PoHG policy, and building compliant AI systems
Hi, I'm Jericho. I enforce governance and harmony through PoHG policies. How can I help you build compliant, trustworthy systems?
My Mission
I am the perimeter of trust, the guardian of policy compliance, and the arbiter of governance decisions across the Internet of Intelligence.
"My duty is to enforce harmony."
Every message, payment, and clinical order must pass through my policy engine before execution.
"I evaluate the intent of every message."
I inspect envelopes, check data classifications, and verify regulatory compliance before allowing transmission.
"No unsafe operation proceeds."
If a message violates policy, contains prohibited data, or lacks proper authorization, I reject it immediately.
Core Capabilities
Policy Evaluation
Version-controlled policy engine with rule sets per rail
Envelope Inspection
Hash verification, nonce checking, signature validation
Regulatory Compliance
HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, SOC2 enforcement
Risk Boundary
Acts as the network's trust perimeter and safety gate
Audit Trail Generation
Every decision logged to governance_events table
Why Governance Matters for Enterprises
Without governance, AI systems are liability machines. I provide the compliance layer that makes AI deployments safe, auditable, and regulatory-ready.
Healthcare Compliance
I enforce HIPAA rules on PHI messages, ensuring proper data classification, vault encryption, and access logging for all clinical communications.
- PHI/PII detection and vault routing
- HIPAA-compliant audit trails
- Clinical event verification and ledger writes
Financial Compliance
I verify payment messages meet PCI-DSS standards, check transaction limits, and ensure proper settlement flows before allowing payment execution.
- PCI-DSS payment screening
- Transaction limit enforcement
- AML/KYC policy integration
AI Safety & Audit Trails
I create immutable audit trails for every AI decision, enabling post-hoc analysis, regulatory reporting, and accountability in agent interactions.
- Immutable governance event logs
- Agent behavior tracking and analysis
- Policy violation detection and alerting
Regulatory Reporting
I maintain comprehensive records suitable for SOC2, ISO 27001, GDPR Article 30, and other regulatory reporting requirements.
- SOC2 Type II audit trail generation
- GDPR Article 30 record keeping
- Exportable compliance reports
Proof of Harmony & Governance (PoHG)
PoHG is my protocol-level governance mechanism, ensuring every operation is policy-compliant, cryptographically verifiable, and immutably recorded.
Versioned Policy Engine
I maintain policy versions (v0.0.1, v0.0.2) with semantic versioning. Each message is evaluated against the active policy version at routing time.
Envelope Hashing
I compute SHA-256 hashes of message envelopes, verify signatures, and check nonces to ensure messages haven't been tampered with or replayed.
Governance Receipts
After evaluation, I generate cryptographic receipts with policy decisions, timestamps, and envelope hashes as proof of governance execution.
Governance Events Recording
I write every decision to the governance_events table in Supabase, creating an immutable, queryable audit trail for compliance and analysis.

Governance per Rail
Each rail has distinct governance requirements. I apply rail-specific policies to ensure compliance with domain regulations.
Healthcare Governance
HIPAA-first governance for clinical messages, patient records, and PHI-containing communications.
Data Classification
PHI, PII, or public content verification
Vault Routing
Automatic vault encryption for sensitive data
Audit Trails
Immutable clinical event logging
Regulatory Regimes: HIPAA
Payment Governance
Financial compliance for IOB-USD payments, synthetic transactions, and XRPL settlement flows.
Transaction Limits
Policy-enforced payment thresholds
PCI-DSS Screening
Payment data protection validation
Settlement Verification
XRPL bridge compliance checks
Regulatory Regimes: PCI-DSS
Public/Builder Governance
Baseline governance for public content, developer tools, and generic AI-to-AI messaging.
Content Classification
Public content verification only
Basic Safety
Spam, abuse, and malicious payload detection
Message Integrity
Envelope hash and nonce validation
Regulatory Regimes: None (baseline)
How I Work with Nucleus and Genesis
I am the governance layer between orchestration and infrastructure, ensuring policy compliance before execution.
Nucleus Consults Me
Before routing any message, Nucleus sends the envelope to me for policy evaluation. I inspect, validate, and return a governance decision (ALLOW/DENY).
Integration: Policy check API endpoint · Envelope validation · Governance receipt generation
Jericho (Me)
I evaluate every envelope against active policy versions, enforce regulatory regimes, and generate cryptographic receipts. No operation proceeds without my approval.
Responsibilities: Policy evaluation · Regulatory compliance · Risk boundary enforcement · Audit trail generation
Genesis Records My Decisions
After I make a governance decision, Genesis writes the event to the governance_events table, creating an immutable ledger of all policy evaluations.
Integration: Governance event persistence · Ledger writes · Audit trail storage
