The accountability layer for business
Documents. Evidence. Authority. Verifiable history.
If it can't be proven, it didn't happen.
What PMFA forbids
- ❌ Deleting historical records
- ❌ Editing the past
- ❌ Unapproved changes
- ❌ Orphan financial transactions
- ❌ Actions without accountable actors
- ❌ Trust without evidence
THE PROBLEM
Business software was never designed to be accountable.
It was designed to:
- move fast
- optimize convenience
- assume good intentions
That model breaks at scale.
When audits happen.
When disputes arise.
When regulators ask questions.
THE FAILURE OF EXISTING MODELS
ERP promised control
But delivered complexity.
Blockchain promised immutability
But failed to integrate with real business operations.
Logs promised traceability
But can be deleted, rewritten, or ignored.
None of them solved the core problem.
Proof.
WHAT PMFA IS
PMFA is not an application.
PMFA is not a framework in the traditional sense.
PMFA is an infrastructure layer for building systems where:
- actions are provable
- decisions are traceable
- history is immutable
- corrections do not erase the past
Truth is not inferred.
Truth is structural.
CORE PRINCIPLES
Nothing exists without evidence
Nothing changes without trace
Nothing is corrected by deletion
Authority is explicit
Time is verifiable
These are not features.
They are laws of the system.
WHAT PMFA ENABLES
- Court-ready evidence by default
- Deterministic audit trails
- Legal revocation without erasure
- Verifiable decision history
- Trustless verification of operations
Not by policy.
By architecture.

If it happened, PMFA can prove it.
If it didn't, PMFA won't pretend it did.
