See which promises in a law are being kept, and which ones nobody is checking.

We map every promise in a law: who made it, who it is for, and who checks it. Then we show what else is affected if one slips.

Parties

Case studies

Across 5 dated case studies. A party is anyone who makes or receives a promise, such as a state agency, a utility, or a community.

How It Works

1

Map

List every promise in a law or plan: who made it, to whom, and by when.

2

Describe

Record what each promise depends on, and how anyone would know it was kept.

3

Check

Ask whether each promise was kept. The best judge is the party it was made to; audits and official filings add evidence.

4

Test “what if”

Pick a promise, imagine it breaks, and see which other promises go with it.

Traditional dashboards

The X-ray

Flat projections of isolated statuses. "This promise is broken." No context. No cascades. No downstream view.

Promise Pipeline

The MRI

The full structural model — dependencies, cascades, threats, downstream effects. See what breaks next and why.

The schema

Every promise is recorded the same way: who made it, to whom, what it says, how it is checked, and what it depends on. The idea of a promise is the same in any language, human or machine.

The word “promise” translated into more than sixty human languages, including English, Spanish, Korean, Arabic, Swahili, Navajo, Cherokee, Māori, Hawaiian, and many more — alongside the promise schema expressed in TypeScript, Python, Rust, SQL, JSON, GraphQL, Solidity, and YAML.

TypeScript
interface Promise {
id: string
body: string
promiser: string
promisee: string
status: Status
depends_on: string[]
verification: Source
}

One concept. One structure. Every language. Every scale.
