M-25-22's anti-lock-in posture favours portability: rights to your data and outputs, documented interfaces, the ability to export models or artifacts, and avoiding proprietary formats that trap you with one vendor. An independent, reproducible audit supports this because the evidence is vendor-neutral and recomputable by anyone. Planisphere emits a sha-pinned record a third party can verify without the vendor's cooperation; it measures behaviour and does not negotiate or certify the contract.
