Governance
We follow our own rules.
Stone exists so that important decisions are approved and permanently recorded. We hold our own platform to the same standard — and publish the record, so you don't have to take our word for it.
What's covered.
These are the operator actions that change the platform for customers. Every one is written to Stone's own permanent record — the same tamper-evident ledger our customers use, where entries can't be edited or deleted.
Customer accountsSuspending or restoring an account.
Plans & pricingChanging a plan's price or limits.
Payment settingsConfiguring a payment processor. Only which fields changed is recorded — never a password or key.
Two levels of control.
The operator chooses how strictly these actions are controlled.
Standard
Record every change
The change takes effect, and is immediately written to the permanent record — what was done, to what, and when.
Strict
Approve first
The change waits. It only runs after an approval — signed and locked to that exact change — has been recorded.
Details: in strict mode, approvals are signed with Stone's own platform key on behalf of the named approver. A change waiting for approval is held in memory, so if the service restarts it must be requested again.
The record.

Every customer decision can be checked too: each decided decision has a public receipt page that verifies the signature, what it was locked to, and its place in the ledger — no account required.
