Our principles

Kinju remembers.
You decide.

Less to carry. More clarity. Your company, on your terms.

You make the calls.

Kinju supports your judgment. Decisions that shape your company stay with the people responsible.

Know what you’re relying on.

Sources, uncertainty and missing information should be clear before you act.

Your companies stay separate.

Personal context stays private by default. Each company has its own boundaries. No hidden employee scoring.

Useful work. Clear limits.

Agents work within permission you grant, with visible limits and a way to stop.

Keep the story honest.

Corrections preserve history. Lessons become shared guidance only when an authorised person ratifies them.

Your attention matters.

Kinju should earn every interruption. “Nothing needs you” is a good result.

The Product Constitution 14 principles behind the promise

Abridged · Version 1.2 · Amended 22 August 2026

  1. KIN-C01

    Human consequential authority

    An authorised person makes consequential decisions and approves company direction and changes to shared truth. Software supports their judgment; it does not replace them.

  2. KIN-C02

    Evidence is attributable and qualified

    Claims carry their sources, freshness, permissions, uncertainty and conflicts. Evidence supports judgment; it does not grant authority.

  3. KIN-C03

    Privacy and company boundaries default deny

    Personal, company and cross-company contexts stay separate by default. Access in one never grants access or authority in another.

  4. KIN-C04

    No self-authorisation

    Agents may work within an active mandate. They cannot approve themselves, widen their scope or remove their limits.

  5. KIN-C05

    The operating chain remains distinct

    Decisions, authority, work, receipts, results and lessons remain distinct and linked. Completing an action does not prove a business outcome.

  6. KIN-C06

    Shared guidance changes only through ratification

    An authorised human ratifies the exact version of shared guidance. Agent instructions then need separate explicit activation; neither act can be delegated to the proposing system.

  7. KIN-C07

    Automation is proportional and controllable

    Automation has visible scope, limits, stop conditions, review and expiry. Irreversible actions need exact previews, stronger confirmation and a recovery path.

  8. KIN-C08

    History is amended, not rewritten

    Corrections amend the record of what was known, authorised and done. Legal erasure and retention remain separately governed.

  9. KIN-C09

    Capability and evidence status are truthful

    Target design, local implementation, Preview verification, Production deployment, enabled capability, real-data proof, sustained use and validated customer outcome are distinct states. None implies the next.

  10. KIN-C10

    No workforce surveillance

    No hidden worker scoring, emotion inference or productivity judgments from communication traces. People data needs an explicit legitimate purpose and policy.

  11. KIN-C11

    Minimum necessary context

    Use only context needed for an authorised purpose. Connecting is not selecting; selecting is not publishing; access is not indefinite retention.

  12. KIN-C12

    Missing trust fails closed and stays visible

    When required permission, evidence or confirmation is missing, consequential action stops. Kinju explains what is missing and what did not happen.

  13. KIN-C13

    Source-derived by default, consented and correctable

    Use explicitly selected, authorised sources to reduce repeated work. People can confirm, correct or exclude context; inferences remain proposals until ratified.

  14. KIN-C14

    Attention must be earned

    Interrupt only when evidence, consequence, responsibility, timing and a useful response justify it. Nothing needs you is a successful state.

These are our product commitments. They don’t mean every capability is available today.
