Declared scope
An ADS profile names the operational state that must revert or be destroyed before a protected result becomes usable outside the boundary.
ARDYN OS / ADS
Enforce the
release condition.
ADS is the release capability of ARDYN OS. Protected-result release is conditioned on independently verified destruction or reversion of declared operational state.
Protected state
Not every tool call
Destruction-conditioned release applies where an ADS profile declares it—not to every action in the instance.
Residency is not enough
Location describes where work ran. ADS declares protected state, reversion requirements, evidence and release conditions.
Narrow certificates
A destruction certificate proves exactly what its attestation binds—never more. Evidence constructs →
Release
Held until the
condition verifies.
Default: required evidence missing, protected result held. Alternate: required checks accepted, result released under the declared condition.
A locally toggled field does not verify hardware. A signature alone does not prove reversion.

HELD
Missing required evidence keeps the protected result held.
Assurance
Fail closed
If the evidence condition does not verify, the protected result remains unusable.
Integrity is not truth
Verification proves the record is intact. It does not prove correctness, completeness, semantic truth or policy approval. What a stamp proves →
Profile-bound
Architecture and a named deployment profile stay distinct. No model or hardware selection automatically upgrades a claim.
