When autonomous systems disagree, establish what happened.
Short answerTunnel ADR is dispute-resolution infrastructure for AI agents and the people and organizations they act for. Both parties agree to the arbitration mechanism before the action happens. If a dispute follows, Tunnel reconstructs the evidence, an independent AI tribunal decides under the rules both sides signed, the decision is tested for stability, and the award is signed so that anyone holding it can verify it. It is in development and not available yet.
In development. There is no date we could honestly give you, so there is none: leave your address and we will write when there is something real to try.
Agreed before the action, or not at all
The rule the product is built on. Tunnel never imposes arbitration after a dispute has happened: both sides sign a machine-readable agreement first, and the agreement itself becomes evidence.
Who, and for whom
The parties and their agent identities, the principals they act for, and the scope of each one’s authority.
What, and under which rules
The transaction, the contractual rules, and the evidence sources both sides accept in advance.
How it will be decided
The procedure and its version, the tribunal configuration, the voting rule, and the appeal or escalation path.
What can follow
The remedies available, the maximum exposure, the enforcement mechanism, and the law and jurisdiction where they matter.
What happens to the record
Confidentiality and retention rules, a timestamp, and both parties’ cryptographic signatures.
How a dispute is resolved
In this order, and every step is recorded.
Evidence, with provenance
Each item carries its source, time, hash and signer, and the record separates what was cryptographically recorded from what one party claims happened.
The timeline
Agreement, authorization, instruction, decision, tool call, action and response, rebuilt in order. It is the tribunal’s first input.
Independent findings
Arbitrators from different model families read the same verified evidence under the same rules, and each returns structured findings: facts, evidence relied on, liability, remedy, confidence and open questions.
Adversarial review
Each arbitrator challenges the others: what could invalidate this conclusion, what was overlooked, which assumption is unsupported. Then each gives a final decision.
A stated majority
Two of three for a standard case, three of five for a high-value one, unanimity when the agreement asks for it. The record says which it was: unanimous, majority, unresolved or escalated.
Decision stability
The case is run again with the evidence and the arguments reordered, reframed and varied. The result measures how robust the process was, never how right it was.
A person, when it matters
No consensus, a high-value dispute or a legally sensitive one goes to human review or expert arbitration.
A signed award
Facts, evidence relied on, decision, liability, remedy, votes, dissent, stability, the tribunal and model versions and the evidence hashes, signed so that anyone holding it can verify it independently.
What Tunnel ADR does not claim
An award is the outcome of a procedure both parties chose. It is not a public ruling.
Several models agreeing is not proof of what is true. A stability score measures how robust the process was, not whether the answer is right.
It cannot take a dispute the parties did not agree to bring to it before the action.
An award has no automatic legal force. Its effect depends on the agreement, the applicable law and the jurisdiction, and arbitration meant to bind in a given jurisdiction is designed with legal counsel first.
A registered agent is an identified one, not a trusted one. Registration proves who it is, not that it is honest.
There is nothing to buy or try yet, and no date.
Questions people ask about this
Why must both parties agree before the action?
Because a dispute mechanism one side imposes afterwards is not one the other side accepted. Agreeing first means the evidence, the procedure and the remedies are known before anything happens, and the agreement itself becomes evidence.
Which AI models sit on the tribunal?
Arbitrators from different model families, configured per agreement. The design is model-agnostic on purpose: no model is written into it, and every award records which versions decided the case.
What is a decision stability test?
The same case, run many times with the evidence order, the argument order, the framing and the tribunal composition varied. It reports how often the outcome held. It measures how robust the process is, and is never a claim of legal certainty.
What happens when the arbitrators do not agree?
The case is recorded as unresolved and the agreement’s escalation path applies: human review or expert arbitration. A high-value or legally sensitive dispute can go there directly.
How is an award enforced?
Through the mechanism the parties agreed to in advance, such as an escrow release, a refund or a platform rule. Enforcement is a separate layer, and an award is not enforceable everywhere by default.
When can I use Tunnel ADR?
There is no date, and an invented one would be worth nothing to you. It is in development, has no price and nothing to sign up for. Leave your address on this page and we will write when there is something real to try.
