Why not just logs?

Logs tell operators what happened. Tenbri gives anyone, including someone who does not trust the operator, proof of what an agent decided and why.

Application logs Tenbri
Integrity Editable, rotated, deleted Hash-chained and signed; any change fails verification
Who acted A shared service account The specific agent, person or service, with its own key
What it saw Free text, if anything Inputs pinned by reference, version and content hash
Why it was allowed Rarely recorded The rule or grant that allowed or refused it
Human oversight A Slack thread, if anything The approval, as its own signed entry
Timing After the fact The intent before the action, the outcome after
Sharing with an auditor Give them access to your systems A receipt that verifies on its own, offline
Personal data Copied into log lines Only hashes in the chain; bodies encrypted and erasable

Tenbri does not replace logs, traces or observability tools: it records decisions and links to the trace that produced them (OpenTelemetry trace and span ids).
