Acceding to the Governance Protocol
This page described something exact.works no longer offers.

- Scope decision of 2026-09-01 (EXACTING.md)
The protocol bound a signatory to three instruments — the SAISA, the DRR and the
Platform Terms. Two of the three describe things exact.works does not do, and the joinder
itself presumed a platform the company does not operate.
Why it could not simply be amended
This screen took a signature, and a screen that takes a signature has to describe what is
being signed. It told the signatory the DRR would govern their transactions. The DRR — a
dispute ruleset under which exact.works appointed and adjudicated — was withdrawn on
4 September 2026, because exact.works does not adjudicate and holds no funds whose
disposition a ruling could decide. Adding a caveat would have left a signature attached to
an instrument that no longer had a subject.
What is true now
There is one instrument, and it is between the two parties: the SAISA. exact.works presents
the standard form, helps the parties customise the terms that differ, and seals what they
execute. Once executed, the parties watch performance in the Relay, on the telemetry their
own tooling produces. Nothing needs to be acceded to in order to use any of that.
What replaced it here
Nothing. It was withdrawn rather than replaced.
