Build, Ship, Shape: Amazon Developer Hackathon 2026, Alexa+ track
The executor is alone with five hundred hours of paperwork. The desk isn't.
Eighteen months of letters, calls and certified copies. None of it needs judgement, except at five moments.

Five gates, and nothing else
Before every action the governor names the gate it would cross. Crossing one raises a card and stops.
Five steps
- Six answers by voice. Closed lists, no names, no numbers.
- The ledger, by code. A sourced rule table turns the answers into who to tell and by when.
- Routine work on one authorisation. Notices, scripts, chasing, escalation. Templates filled by code.
- Five gates, before every action. One card per task and gate; the receipt chain is scanned for the approval.
- Certified copies through Alexa+ checkout. The add-on quotes; Alexa+ confirms, pays and takes the PIN.
