Who it serves
Is Kanon a fit?
Teams exploring how software and AI agents should share business records without losing control over who can change them.
The problem
Why this work matters
As agents build and operate software, the records underneath still need clear ownership, controlled writes, and a history people can inspect.
What the concept proposes
Identity and permission
The concept places identity and access policy at the record layer, rather than leaving every application to recreate them.
Governed changes
Proposed approval and policy checks would control how people and agents make changes.
An inspectable history
An audit trail is part of the proposed foundation so consequential changes can be traced.
Current scope and availability
Product concept. Kanon is not presented as a released product or an available implementation.
