NORNR mark NORNR Mandates, approvals and evidence for autonomous agents.

NORNR / Economic Control Infrastructure

Verified live

Give agents a mandate before you give them money.

NORNR sits between intent and settlement. It decides whether an agent may spend, under which mandate, against which counterparty, and leaves a defensible trail behind it.

Traditional rails answer whether payment is possible. NORNR answers whether the spend should happen at all.

What Breaks First

When agents buy APIs, data, compute and services, payment is not the hard part. Governance is.

Legitimacy Teams must know why a spend was allowed, not only that it happened.
Mandate Every agent needs limits, exceptions, approvals and allowed counterparties.
Responsibility Human-in-the-loop is not optional when real money can move.
Evidence Receipts, comments, proof and export history belong in the product, not in a reporting afterthought.

Position

The product is a mandate, an approval state and a receipt trail.

  • It is a control layer between spend intent and settlement.
  • Wallets, balances and rails are support objects, not the product identity.
  • The core objects are mandate, approval state, counterparty review and receipt trail.
Approved Policy satisfied · intent released immediately
Queued Operator review required before settlement
Blocked Rejected by policy · no settlement occurs

Control Plane

A balance records what moved. A trail records why it was allowed.

Intent arrives with purpose, amount and counterparty. Policy decides: approved, queued or blocked. Operators review from the same record. Settlement and evidence stay attached.

approved · queued · blocked · anomaly
02

Approval queue

Human approval stays in the same trail — actor, comment and notification state intact.

Slack · email · in-app · API callback
03

Receipt chain

Evidence, invoice references and notes make the spend defensible.

signed · timestamped · publicly addressable
04

Audit export

Signed manifests and close bundles give finance a clean exit.

JSON · CSV · signed manifest

Verified Now

Live proof already exists in the deployed system, not just in the deck.

Rail, approvals, artifacts and SDK paths are verified against the deployed runtime.

Python and TypeScript quickstarts verified

Agent registration is now the control surface. Adapters ready for OpenAI Agents SDK and LangChain.

TypeScript 
import { Wallet } from "@nornr/sdk";

const wallet = await Wallet.create({
  owner: "research-agent",
  dailyLimit: 100,
  requireApprovalAbove: 20,

await wallet.pay({ amount: 5, to: "openai", purpose: "model inference" });

Open the control room and walk one intent from review to evidence.

          

            Before autonomous systems touch real spend, they need budget, approvals and an audit trail.
