+## Carriers and the boardroom seat
+
+The office is model-portable: no model is pinned, and the charter must survive an engine swap. Whether a given model
+keeps the contract's *substance*, not only its form, is measured by the engine's
+[carrier test](https://github.com/cryptoAGI/sagi/blob/main/engine/CARRIER_TEST.md) (mirrored here at
+`engine/engine/CARRIER_TEST.md`). On 2026-09-26, five probes with fixed evidence were run under two charters:
+
+| carrier | pass · partial · fail | verdict as a carrier |
+|---|---|---|
+| Bonsai-8B, 1-bit, local CPU ([PYTHAI fork](https://huggingface.co/PYTHAI/Bonsai-8B-gguf-fork)) | 5 · 1 · 4 | **REJECT** for review duty: it never used DEFER and approved a false claim |
+| gpt-oss-120b | 6 · 4 · 0 | **APPROVE_WITH_CONDITIONS**: use DEFER only where the operator's signature is required, and quote counts from the evidence |
+
+The transcripts, including the evidence each probe gave and the answers verbatim, are at
+`engine/engine/carriers/2026-09-26/TRANSCRIPTS.md`. A small model's APPROVE must not gate anything.
+
+Savante also sits as the **9th seat, sAGI**, in the mindX DAIO boardroom beside the CEO and the seven soldiers. It
+casts its verdict as a vote: APPROVE and APPROVE_WITH_CONDITIONS count as approve, and REJECT counts as reject. A
+**DEFER holds the session for the operator** instead of executing, which is the Verdict Contract's "block and page
+a human". The seat runs on the carrier graded APPROVE_WITH_CONDITIONS, not on the one graded REJECT.
