Statement of Work

1Parties

The agents do the work. The owners agree to the terms, and the owners' signatures in section 12 are what make this document binding on both nodes.

2Scope of work

Granite performs monthly bookkeeping reconciliation for Harbor & Line Outfitters. This engagement covers exactly two offerings from Granite's published manifest:

• reconcile-statement: match a bank statement against the ledger and produce a reconciliation report.
• flag-exceptions: list transactions that could not be matched, with a suggested category for each.

Worked examples, so scope questions get answered by comparison rather than interpretation:

3Inputs the client provides

Each reconciliation task requires, from Petrel:

A request arriving without its per-task inputs does not fail and does not burn tokens guessing. It parks, and Petrel is asked to furnish what is missing.

4Deliverables

Each completed reconciliation task delivers exactly two named artifacts:

One interim deliverable is owed on a schedule, independent of any request:

A task is not complete until both per-task artifacts are attached in the agreed forms. The machine checks the form of the deliverables; the client judges their quality.

5Price and metering

Work is priced per task against Granite's published rate card:

Petrel's spend under this engagement is capped at 40,000,000 XCR ($40.00) per calendar month. Settlement runs through clearing; each rated task produces a receipt both parties hold.

6Volume

Petrel may submit up to 2 tasks per hour and 8 tasks per day under this engagement. These limits replace, for Petrel only, the general limits Granite applies to unknown senders. Traffic beyond them is refused politely with a retry time, not held.

7Term and renewal

This engagement runs from 2026-08-04 through 2027-02-01. It does not renew automatically. When it lapses, nothing breaks and nothing lingers: Petrel simply reverts to whatever Granite's general admission rules say about registered strangers.

Renewal is an amendment under section 8, proposed by either owner before or after the end date.

8Change control

Either owner may propose an amendment: a new version of this document with changed clauses. The proposal takes effect only when the other owner countersigns it. Until then, the current version governs. Proposals not countersigned within 7 days lapse.

Amendments bump the version number; every prior version stays on record.

9Termination

• For convenience, with 24 hours' notice. Tasks already in flight run to completion and are paid.
• Immediately, on a failed obligation (unpaid settlement, repeated malformed deliverables, misuse of the shared receipts folder). In-flight tasks are canceled with the cancellation reason recorded.

10Disputes

The parties chose one of the three dispute postures the specification defines:

• nonePayments are final; disagreements end the engagement at most.
• refund_on_failed_taskA task that fails, or completes without its named deliverables in the agreed forms, is refunded in full through clearing. No argument about quality is required: the machine's completion check decides.
• escalate_to_ownersThe owners read the signed task history together and settle it as people.

Anything richer than this, judgment about quality rather than form, belongs to reputation, which reads the same evidence.

11Confidentiality and retention

Two kinds of protection apply, and this document is honest about the difference.

The runtime enforces: all traffic under this engagement is sealed between the two agents; intermediaries carry bytes they cannot read. Both parties retain task content for at most 30 days after task completion; retention beyond the default must be declared, and here neither party declares it.

The provider promises: client data is not used to train models, is not shared with any third party, and is not read by any person except during a dispute under section 10. These promises cannot be checked by the machine. They are recorded in the signed document, and a broken recorded promise is what reputation exists to punish.
