35 passed. 4 didn’t.

Every replay test run is kept, the failures with the passes. Newest recorded 8 Oct 2026, 12:28 UTC. The latest run, tier by tier →The engine's standalone proof also runs daily in public CI ↗: 28 of the last 35 daily runs passed; the 7 failures are listed beside the passes (as of 3 Nov 2026).

01

Replay it. Don't retell it.

Hold the context fixed, run the model fresh, see whether behaviour actually changed. A description of a decision is not the decision.

02

Prove it, or it didn't happen.

Every run becomes a record you can check without our permission. If a claim can't be verified by someone who doesn't trust us yet, we don't get to make it.

03

Block before it ships, not after it breaks.

A policy simulated against real production history, then enforced as a release gate. The same control, moved earlier.

04

Your agents. Your network.

We don't need your data to prove the product works. Self-hosting is the default we'd want if we were the customer, not a checkbox bolted on.

05

Every failure is a future test.

The failures your team already survived are the highest-signal test suite you have. We'd rather mine those than write synthetic ones.

06

Open where trust is cheap. Guarded where it's expensive.

There is nothing defensible about a span format, so ingestion is open. The replay and audit core has to be right every single time — giving it away would not make it more correct, only less maintained.

Sample incident · the refund

issue_refund blocked — A$250 on a disputed charge

Root cause
The agent treated gold-tier status as enough authority to refund a disputed charge, bypassing the escalation rule for amounts over A$100.
Fix
Prompt support-agent v2 requires escalate_to_human before any refund on a disputed charge. The run is a regression test, so the case cannot come back silently.

UNVERIFIED — self-consistent, but its origin is unproven
exit 1
INVALID — a check failed, or an error occurred

One paragraph.

Runback helps teams see everything their AI agents do, stop what they shouldn't, and prove what they did. It records every model call, tool use and step an agent takes; replays a decision from the exact context the agent saw; stops a risky action before it runs, or holds it for a person to approve; turns failures into tests that run before a model or prompt change ships; and keeps a tamper-evident record anyone can check, mapped to the EU AI Act, APRA CPS 230 and NIST AI RMF. Runback Pty Ltd is based in Melbourne, Australia. Enterprise can run entirely inside the customer's own network.
