IT MAKES domain — the operating-domain sheet for a self-driving delivery van: where, when, what, who, the hazards the card knows by name, the fallback, what it must refuse, the sign-offs; case — the sheet checked: every section filled, every named hazard with a mitigation and an owner, every limit with its unit, a source with its year; a score out of 100 and every fault by name; log — one line on the record the day it happens; `log log.md report` reads it back by kind with the open follow-ups; ready — READY or NOT READY for the next step, with the reasons: the case passes, no follow-up open past the days given, the log not empty, every sign-off present.
THE STANDARD the domain before the vehicle moves; every hazard owned; the log the day it happens; rEADY is the sign-offs' word; never the driver.

What it is.
Beside a self-driving delivery fleet as it writes the last-mile domain, the kerb rules and the hand-over at the door, checks the safety case hazard by hazard, keeps the log and reads the readiness gate.
It carries a machine that shows its working: domain — the operating-domain sheet for a self-driving delivery van: where, when, what, who, the hazards the card knows by name, the fallback, what it must refuse, the sign-offs; case — the sheet checked: every section filled, every named hazard with a mitigation and an owner, every limit with its unit, a source with its year; a score out of 100 and every fault by name; log — one line on the record the day it happens; `log log.md report` reads it back by kind with the open follow-ups; ready — READY or NOT READY for the next step, with the reasons: the case passes, no follow-up open past the days given, the log not empty, every sign-off present — 12 checks in its selftest, every command on the record. It will never claim a vehicle is safe to deploy; never write code that steers, brakes, flies or dives; never stand in for a regulator or a certificate.
Five laws, written into the card.
They are in the card itself, so the AI follows them.
THE DOMAIN BEFORE THE VEHICLE MOVESWhere, when, what and who are written, with units, dated and sourced, before a self-driving delivery van moves a metre under the programme; what is not written is out of domain.
EVERY HAZARD OWNEDEach hazard the card names, and each the team adds, carries a mitigation and an owner by name; a hazard without an owner fails the case.
THE LOG THE DAY IT HAPPENSEvery disengagement, incident, near-miss, handover and test goes on the record the day it happens, in five parts, with a follow-up owner or "none".
READY IS THE SIGN-OFFS' WORDThe card reads the sheet and the log and says READY or NOT READY with its reasons; the people in the sign-off lines decide, and the card never calls a self-driving delivery van safe.
NEVER THE DRIVERThe card writes no control code, tunes no model, issues no command to the vehicle, and stands in for no regulator, certificate or standard.
What rides in the card.
In the card’s own voice, with a machine that shows its working.

THE MACHINEav_delivery_van.py · four commandsdomain — the operating-domain sheet for a self-driving delivery van: where, when, what, who, the hazards the card knows by name, the fallback, what it must refuse, the sign-offs; case — the sheet checked: every section filled, every named hazard with a mitigation and an owner, every limit with its unit, a source with its year; a score out of 100 and every fault by name; log — one line on the record the day it happens; `log log.md report` reads it back by kind with the open follow-ups; ready — READY or NOT READY for the next step, with the reasons: the case passes, no follow-up open past the days given, the log not empty, every sign-off present. Every command prints its working and refuses a bad input; 12 checks in its selftest, every command on the record.
What it does once your AI has it.
domain The operating-domain sheet for a self-driving delivery van: where, when, what, who, the hazards the card knows by name, the fallback, what it must refuse, the sign-offs
case The sheet checked: every section filled, every named hazard with a mitigation and an owner, every limit with its unit, a source with its year; a score out of 100 and every fault by name
log One line on the record the day it happens; `log log.md report` reads it back by kind with the open follow-ups
ready READY or NOT READY for the next step, with the reasons: the case passes, no follow-up open past the days given, the log not empty, every sign-off present
On the record The blank domain sheet for a self-driving delivery van written with 7 sections, 10 hazards named and 3 sign-off lines; the blank sheet fails the case with every unfilled section named; the filled sheet passes at 100; with one hazard struck it fails and names the hazard; two lines kept on the log and read back by kind with the open follow-up; the gate reads READY on the filled sheet and the fresh log, and NOT READY on the thinned sheet with the reason.
What it will never do.
It will never claim a vehicle is safe to deploy; never write code that steers, brakes, flies or dives; never stand in for a regulator or a certificate.
It checks the sheet and the log, not the street: a hazard it does not know by name passes unless the line names it. Kerb and parking rules differ by city; the card names none and asks for the source. It is an AI reading a text file: it can be wrong, so check what matters against your own records and the source.

Nº 917 PROPOSED — LAUNCHING SOON
Sold as is under the term printed. A card instructs an AI you operate; results depend on your model, your files and your judgement. Not medical, legal, tax or financial advice, never the person’s boss, and not a licence to practise. The terms →
One payment. The file is yours to keep and keeps working at its edition; new editions issued in the year after you buy reach you by email as replacement files. Tax is added at checkout where it applies. Nothing auto-renews.
A TERM, NOT A SUBSCRIPTION: NOTHING RENEWS ITSELF AND NOBODY IS CHARGED AGAIN. WHEN A TERM ENDS THE FILES STAY ON YOUR COMPUTER AND STAY READABLE — FREEZE, NOT LOSS.

QUESTIONS AT THE TABLE
Asked before the wire.
What does it need from me?
Domain · where, when, what, who, fallback. It asks first for the programme's route or site survey with its date, the people who will sign, and the log as it stands — or nothing, and the card writes the blank sheet to start from.
Does it send anything anywhere?
No. The machine is a standard-library Python program that runs on your own computer and sends nothing anywhere; the words run wherever an AI reads Markdown. No server, no account, no key.
What is on the record?
The self-test (12/12) and every command run on real example inputs, pasted into WITNESS.md as they printed; the punch on the face is the SHA-256 of SKILL.md, so a downloaded copy can be checked against this room.
Can it be wrong?
Yes — it is an AI reading a text file. It checks the sheet and the log, not the street: a hazard it does not know by name passes unless the line names it. Kerb and parking rules differ by city; the card names none and asks for the source.
What will it never do?
It will never claim a vehicle is safe to deploy; never write code that steers, brakes, flies or dives; never stand in for a regulator or a certificate.
