What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-09-22

Adopt with guardrails

Why
It maps cleanly onto a real need (proving a human authorized an agent action) using mature, already-deployed Sumsub primitives (liveness, device intelligence, OAuth 2.1/mTLS), and agent-to-human binding is the lowest-friction way to add accountability without rebuilding our identity stack — but human-only binding must be supplemented for agent provenance.
Next
Scope a pilot of liveness 'human-present' checkpoints at critical agent moments (payouts, account changes) layered onto our existing soft.house auth, and validate Sumsub's device/bot signals against our own RUM-observed ~99.6% bot traffic before any spend commitment.
