Answer.

Federal directive · EO 14179.

The AI Action Plan is the policy program flowing from EO 14179, emphasizing American AI leadership and lighter-touch regulation rather than prescriptive private-sector testing rules. Concrete, enforceable testing and monitoring duties for federal AI use come from OMB M-25-21 (high-impact minimum practices), not the Plan itself. Because policy here is moving, treat specifics as subject to change; Planisphere measures model behaviour against a fixed probe set regardless of which policy frame is current.

When EO 14179 asks for proof, hand over records — not assurances.

record the duty · seal the receipt · verify offline

Planisphere records each duty event — an output marked, a disclosure shown, a review made — and seals it into a receipt that verifies offline against our published keys. You send hashes, never content. A record is evidence a third party can check; it is not a certification and not a legal determination.
