Last updated: 2026-09-24
Short answer: A transcript shows what a conversation displayed. A verifiable receipt records what crossed the execution boundary and gives another reviewer a verifier path. Compare the transcript with the receipt, but do not treat either one as proof of an outside effect without upstream evidence.

Transcript review
Check the request, model statement, proposed action, and visible result in sequence.
Receipt review
Check the actual tool, scoped arguments, observed result, timestamp, status, and integrity fields.
Reconciliation
Explain any difference between the transcript and execution record, then seek a read-back for the claimed outside state.
Open a public execution receipt or call its verifier. The example reports verification_status: verified for the stored record. It is not proof of an unobserved external outcome.

A transcript shows what a conversation displayed. A verifiable receipt records what crossed the execution boundary and gives another reviewer a verifier path. Compare the transcript with the receipt, but do not treat either one as proof of an outside effect without upstream evidence.
What can a verifiable receipt prove?
It can show what the execution layer recorded and what its integrity checks verify. It cannot prove an unobserved outside outcome.
How can another reviewer check the record?
Open the public receipt, compare the tool, time, result, and status, then call the verifier. Keep outside confirmations separate from the execution record.
