Compliance in the order path, not after it.
Policy as code: the mandate and its restrictions compile into the kernel, every order is checked before it leaves, and every decision is written once to the decision ledger. Anything irreversible waits for a named human.
The mandate, compiled. The record, kept.
Mandate and restrictions are written once in plain language, compiled into the kernel and enforced everywhere in the order path. What the kernel allowed or refused is written to the ledger with the clause behind it.
Written once. Never edited.

Illustrative sample data
- Policy as codeRestrictions, leverage, exposure and eligible securities, configured once in the mandate and enforced by the kernel on every order.
- Versioned mandateEvery change follows propose, four-eyes review, approve. The author can never approve their own change, and every version stays on the record.
- Insert-only ledgerEvery decision and the order it produced are written once to an insert-only, hash-chained record. Corrections are appended, never overwritten.
- Examination supportThe state of the book at any sequence number is reconstructible from the record alone, and records export for review and long-term retention.
Checked before the trade, watched after it.
Restrictions are enforced inline on every order, then the book and its activity are monitored continuously.
- Pre-trade checksInvestment-policy restrictions, prohibited-securities screening, concentration and liquidity limits and classification checks, evaluated before an order is submitted.
- Post-trade surveillanceReview of fills against the order’s instructions, and pattern detection for wash trades, layering, spoofing and marking the close, with allocation-fairness monitoring.
- Communications surveillanceIn designArchiving and screening of email and chat for restricted terms and insider-information patterns.
- AlertsA breached soft threshold notifies the accountable human; a hard limit refuses the order outright.
- Documented exceptionsAn exception waits for a named approver, and the approval is written to the ledger with the signer’s name and role.
The irreversible waits for a named human.
Every action that cannot be undone is HUMAN-GATED by construction. The kernel refuses, records and escalates; the authorized human signs or does not. If nothing is signed, the kernel holds.

Drafted from the ledger, signed by a human.
Reports and filings are drafted from the same record the firm trades on. The machine prepares; a named human submits.
- Draft generationIn designRegulatory reports, transaction reports and statements drafted from the ledger, with no second set of books.
- Filing managementCalendars, submission tracking, amendment workflows and a filing-history archive.
- Data-quality controlsValidation rules, completeness checks and reconciliation gates run before any draft is prepared.
- SubmissionFiling is HUMAN-GATED. A draft goes nowhere until a named human signs it.
Know the counterparty, watch the activity.
Onboarding and anti-money-laundering controls are designed into the same record the rest of the system reads from. These capabilities are in design.
- Identity and verificationIdentity verification and document validation at onboarding.
- Beneficial ownershipBeneficial-ownership identification and eligibility checks.
- Sanctions and PEP screeningSanctions and politically-exposed-person screening at onboarding and on an ongoing basis. Clearance stays HUMAN-GATED.
- Transaction monitoringUnusual-activity detection with case workflows that support suspicious-activity reporting.

Adaptic holds no licence in any jurisdiction yet. Our proprietary fund trades only our own capital; we manage no outside capital and will not until authorized.
See your mandate as code.
In a six-week shadow pilot the kernel reads your mandate and shadows your book, with no capital at risk. Every check it would have made is on the record for your compliance team to inspect.
