FreightBox Zero: Formal Project Report — AI-Operated NVOCC with Three-Layer Agent Safety Stack
Description
Formal project report for FreightBox Zero, an operational model for a Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (NVOCC) in which six AI agents (Kiran/Arjun/Priya/Kavya/Disha/Aegis Guard) handle 90% of freight operations and three humans handle exclusively what international commercial law makes non-delegable. This report covers: three operating modes (Man Mode / Hybrid Mode / Agentic Mode) on the same platform; competitive landscape analysis showing no incumbent has combined eBL + agentic ops + legal gate architecture; the three-layer agent safety stack (Layer 1: TRUST mask session bits for BL/telex/LC/OFAC gates; Layer 2: AEGIS DAN gate with WhatsApp HITL interception; Layer 3: KavachOS kernel-level seccomp-bpf + PRAMANA SHA-256 receipt chain); go-to-market sequence Month 1–13+; risk register. VIVECHANA score V=40,824 (I=9, L=9, R=8, Rep=7, K=4,536, F=9). Companion paper (legal gate architecture): DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20047472. Platform live at freightbox.org.
Notes
Three-layer agent safety stack: (1) TRUST mask — BL/telex/LC bits structurally absent from agent sessions. (2) AEGIS DAN gate — PreToolUse intercept + WhatsApp HITL before execution. (3) KavachOS kernel receipt — seccomp-bpf + SHA-256 tamper-evident syscall log. Six agents: Kiran (intake), Arjun (booking), Priya (documentation), Kavya (finance), Disha (tracking), Aegis Guard (compliance). Three humans: NVOCC Principal, Finance Controller, Legal Officer.
