Every MeshQu paper: three experiments on the same 283 UK procurement decisions, and the white paper that frames them.

- [Precedents, policy, and commitment](https://www.meshqu.com/research/precedents-policy-and-commitment): We re-ran the same procurement decisions through an AI agent with the governance context broken apart piece by piece — to find out which piece was doing the work.
- [When precedents commit AI and policy pulls it back](https://www.meshqu.com/research/when-precedents-commit-ai-and-policy-pulls-it-back): We showed one AI agent the same 283 UK procurement decisions five times, adding more of our governance rules each round — from nothing, up to the full policy.
- [When AI hedges and policy commits](https://www.meshqu.com/research/when-ai-hedges-and-policy-commits): We ran 283 real UK procurement decisions through both an AI agent and MeshQu’s policy engine at the same moment, binding every verdict to a signed receipt.
- [The Decision Proof Gap](https://www.meshqu.com/research/decision-proof-gap): AI governance frameworks describe how decisions should be made — but the moment a decision is actually executed, the evidence to defend it almost never exists in a form anyone can verify.
