Nobody tells you compliance is going to feel like being watched constantly, not occasionally, but somebody has to say it eventually.
With Newton, every approved transaction leaves a receipt behind, whether anyone requested it or not. Not a report you file once a quarter. A hash, sitting in an append-only vault, permanently. The uncomfortable part isn't the surveillance, it's the permanence. You can't quietly fix a policy mistake later without the earlier version still sitting there, provable, dated, yours.
Institutions say they want proof. Fewer of them want proof that never goes away.
That's the actual tradeoff underneath the mechanism: verification without memory loss. Good for trust. Rough on anyone who assumed compliance meant answering a question once and moving on.
