Ledger — Microsoft Azure Confidential Ledger, the trust foundation
Microsoft is the trust anchor.
Cryptographic audit. Append-only. Examiner-readable.
Microsoft Azure Confidential Ledger is one of two institutional rails ConniXT runs on. Every business event — every Stripe payment, every workflow approval, every Council decision — lands here as an immutable cryptographic record. Operated by Microsoft. Read by anyone you grant a link to.
What this guarantees
Records can't be modified
Confidential Ledger uses a cryptographic chain. Any modification to a past record would be detectable. The ledger is structurally immutable, not policy-immutable.
The trust anchor isn't ConniXT
Microsoft operates the ledger. Same Azure compliance posture you already accept for storage, identity, and compute. ConniXT is the orchestrator; Microsoft is the trust anchor.
Examiners read directly
Read-only access via Azure Active Directory. Provision in minutes, revoke in seconds. The audit interface is purpose-built for examiners, not adapted from a developer dashboard.
How it works in practice
Every write returns a receipt
Each event written to the ledger gets a receipt — a cryptographic attestation that the record exists in the chain at a known position. ConniXT stores the receipt; auditors verify it later by checking the chain.
Verifiability is mathematical
Independent verification: the chain is a Merkle structure. Any modification breaks the hash forward — auditors can verify the integrity of the entire history with a single root check.
Microsoft handles durability
The ledger is replicated across Azure regions. Microsoft handles backup, retention, and continuity SLAs. ConniXT operations doesn't worry about ledger availability.
Built for regulated industries
Confidential Ledger is FedRAMP High authorized; usable for federal compliance contexts. Same posture as Azure Confidential Compute / Azure Storage. ConniXT inherits Microsoft's compliance certifications by deploying on top of them.

Stripe
The other institutional rail. Stripe handles programmable money; Microsoft handles cryptographic audit. Together they're the two rails ConniXT runs on. The Stripe page lives at /trust-spine/orchestrator since Stripe events flow through the Orchestrator into the ledger.
