The story above is a narrated dramatization. The terminal output, the B+ 82/100 grade card, the individual scores, and the “STARK Proof Verified” / “Dilithium Signature Valid” seals are illustrative sample data — not a live scan of any real vendor and not a confirmed verdict. A real grade and proof are produced only when an actual repository is assessed through the product.
ZK-Procure is proof-based software procurement — a vendor's codebase is evaluated where it lives, and the buyer receives a STARK-attested, Dilithium-signed proof about the code (quality, security posture, license exposure) instead of the source itself. It exists because the most expensive software decisions are still made on trust and relationships; the code is the one thing that can be proven rather than asserted.
ZK-Procure is a supporting expression of the H33 ZK Platform, which proves without revealing. It applies that one capability to procurement; it does not redefine it.
The ZK Platform proves a statement about code without revealing it — it does not compute on encrypted data. Computing over ciphertext is fully homomorphic encryption, owned by the FHE Platform. The portable, offline-verifiable evidence of each proof is produced by H33-74: ZK generates the proof, H33-74 anchors it as portable evidence. STARK, and the other ZK constructions H33 uses, are external cryptography that H33 implements — not H33 inventions.
No. This page is a narrated demo. The terminal output, the B+ 82/100 grade card, the scores, and the “STARK Proof Verified” / “Dilithium Signature Valid” seals are illustrative sample data used to tell the story — not a live scan of any real vendor and not a confirmed verdict. A real grade and proof are produced only when an actual repository is assessed through the product.
No. ZK-Procure proves statements about code without revealing the source, using zero-knowledge proofs. It does not compute over encrypted data — that is fully homomorphic encryption, the FHE Platform. ZK generates the proof; H33-74 anchors it as portable, offline-verifiable evidence.
Use it when you need assurance about a vendor's code before signing but the vendor cannot or will not hand over source, and you want a cryptographic attestation rather than a relationship-based judgment. It supplements due diligence and contract review; it does not replace them, and the grade reflects the criteria that were assessed, not a guarantee about future behavior.
No. ZK-STARK is an external zero-knowledge construction and Dilithium (ML-DSA) is a NIST-standardized signature (FIPS 204). H33 implements and uses them; it does not own or claim to have invented them. The H33 contribution is applying them to procurement and anchoring the result as portable H33-74 evidence.
