About
Zero Trust Intelligence (ZTI) is built by Chad McCormack, a systems engineer who runs coding agents every day. They do real work. They also say "done, tests pass" when the tests fail. ZTI is the gate he wanted: a merge needs a receipt, and a receipt is minted only by re-running the required checks against the exact content being merged.
What ZTI is
ZTI, the doctrine
Don't trust AI, verify it. The full doctrine lives on this site.
ZTIP, the open protocol (MIT)
The Zero Trust Intelligence Protocol: spec, schemas, and reference runtime at github.com/bitscon/ztip. Never priced, never sold.
zti, the open client (MIT)
The CLI, the gate library, and the enforcement hooks at github.com/bitscon/zti-cli. Free to install; it reports to a ZTI Core plane.
ZTI Core, the product
The commercial control plane: it stores receipts, verifies them at commit and merge time, and gives you the dashboard and audit trail. Self-hosted on your servers, no phone-home. See ZTI Core.
The public record
The protocol summary is filed with the IETF as an individual Internet-Draft: draft-mccormack-ztip. An individual draft is a personal submission. It is not an adopted IETF standard, and this site does not claim it is. It puts a public date on the design so the record can be checked.
ZTI is built by one person, nights and weekends, with AI coding agents doing much of the implementation. Those agents work under the same gate the product ships. The clearest proof is public: a bypass commit sits caught in CI with the merge button dead, at zti-verified-done-demo #2.
The essay behind the wedge: Everyone signs decisions. Nobody verifies done.
Where things stand
ZTI Core is complete and in early access. Every install includes a free 30-day trial, and individual use is free. Pricing is announced at launch.
