§ Permissio · Signature infrastructure · Since 2026 · Closed beta

The signature, signed.

API-first e-signature infrastructure for developers, legal teams, and regulated industries — built inside Forward Rise from operator capital. Every envelope a chain-of-custody event. Every record forensically traceable.

§ Positioning · in Permissio's voice

Enterprise e-signature power. Without the enterprise price tag.

We were tired of expensive, feature-gated products. We built Permissio to offer genuine value without penalising teams for growing — world-class capability at a price that respects the work.

16events
Webhook surface

Sixteen typed event types, HMAC-signed, with a built-in delivery simulator. Wildcard subscriptions and full replay history.

100%
Audit-chain coverage

Every envelope produces a SHA-256-stamped PDF, an append-only event log, consumer consent record, and downloadable audit certificate.

14
Closed-beta partners

SaaS platforms, lenders, agencies, and law firms running real integrations against the API. Reviewed onboarding, not a free-for-all.

§ Centerpiece · Chain of custody

Every signed envelope is a forensic record, not a checkbox.

Permissio treats each signature as a chain-of-custody event. The signed PDF is stamped with a SHA-256 hash at completion. Every field interaction, every page view, every signer authentication is captured to an append-only event log. The output is a tamper-evident evidence package any compliance officer can hand to opposing counsel.

  • SHA-256-stamped PDF — written at completion, stored in object storage
  • Append-only event log — every field touched, with actor, IP, and UA
  • Consumer consent record — captured at ceremony start for ESIGN
  • Audit certificate PDF — pre-generated, included on every plan
  • ESIGN + UETA compliant — legally binding across 49 states + D.C.

The first MCP server for legally-binding signatures.

An MCP integration so any agent — Claude, Cursor, in-house tooling — can draft, route, and witness an envelope end-to-end. Same audit chain, same evidence package, same compliance posture. Now reachable from the agent layer.

§ Sign-off · in the compliance officer's voice

“Every envelope a chain-of-custody event. We retired our notarial workflow the day the audit certificate showed up in the API.”

§ 03 / 07 · Held by Forward Rise

Built inside the family. Run from Austin.

Permissio is the first company in the Forward Rise family that we built rather than bought. Started in early 2026 with operator capital from the holding, it ships on the same backbone every other brand runs on — so a small team can act like a big one without ever having to.

Five people. Closed beta. Generational time horizon. Nothing about that posture changes the day after launch.
