Company seal Applied by the system on every action

Representative seal The owner's own seal, for high-value actions

Every stamp is recorded Which seal signed is part of the proof

01 Two seals, two roles Company seal vs representative seal

Company seal — the organization's operating seal. An independent key that belongs to the organization itself, not to any person. Axowl applies it automatically on every action the organization takes, so the audit chain stays sealed continuously without anyone present. The key is held in Axowl's sealing layer and is never handed to any person. This is the default seal for ordinary activity.

Representative seal — the person's own seal. A passkey bound to the representative's device, unlocked by their biometric or PIN. It proves a specific human acted, in person. Axowl is designed to require it for the highest-value actions — moving money, changing security policy, managing keys — so those cannot be auto-stamped by the company seal alone.

The proof records which seal signed. Every sealed record already carries who acted and what signed it. Axowl is designed so a routine company-sealed entry is distinguishable from one the representative personally approved — the difference between "the system logged it" and "the owner signed it."

02 Corporation vs sole proprietorship Same two seals, different legal subject

Corporation. The company seal is a fully separate key from any individual. The organization outlives any one person — owners and representatives can change, and the company seal stays. Each member also holds their own personal seal for what they sign themselves.

Sole proprietorship. The owner is the business in law, yet the structure is the same: the organization still gets its own independent company seal for automatic sealing, and the owner keeps a separate personal seal for actions they sign in person. One key keeps the books, the other is the owner's own hand.

03 Projects & SPVs Time-boxed, purpose-built, multi-company

A project has a purpose and a clock. A Project (or SPV — special-purpose vehicle) is created for a defined goal over a defined window. It carries its own seal scope, so everything done under it is sealed and auditable as one unit, kept apart from the organizations that run it.

Several companies can form one together. Multiple organizations can come together to stand up a single project or SPV — a joint venture, a consortium, a deal. Each participant brings its own members and seals, while the project keeps one shared, tamper-evident record of who did what, under whose seal, for the life of the project.

One rule across all of them. Corporation, sole proprietorship, or a multi-company project — every action is sealed and every seal is recorded. The company seal keeps the books continuously; the representative seal marks what a person stood behind. Nothing is left unsealed, and nothing can be quietly rewritten.
