One node-locked executable, one SQLite file you own, driven entirely from the command line. The full AxiomLens assessment engine for operators who live in a terminal, script their tooling, and want compliance work products they can diff, pipe, and automate on their own terms.
One outbound call in its entire lifecycle — license activation. After that: strictly offline.
Everything the AxiomLens GUI can do, against the same database — numbers computed deterministically in code.
ctl set (single/bulk/by category/by function), ctl show, review mark, GRC note templates, tags.
signoff record, review, trail (+ CSV export), snapshot, posture.
handoff export, report (deterministic board report), coverage (multi-framework rollup with add-on packs).
clients, client add, poam list/add/close, evidence attach/list/rm, backup / --restore.
shell, set, vars, alias, run (recipes), --json on every read command.
axiomlens.toml lives beside the exe and is yours to edit — the first run offers to write it for you (three questions, skippable, never blocks scripts). Named @variables, aliases, and recipes (named command sequences run with axiomlens run) turn repeat work into one line. No daemon, no scheduler inside the engine — point your own Task Scheduler/cron/RMM at the CLI if you want it on a timer.
First launch asks for the order ID + email from your receipt — the one outbound call this app ever makes, activating and node-locking the license to your machine.
Every launch after that verifies the license offline. No telemetry, no background jobs, no update pings.
The board report is generated on-device from a deterministic template — no cloud model, nothing to phone home for.
Ships unsigned — a folder-style build chosen deliberately to minimize antivirus false positives. Every release publishes a SHA-256 checksum so you can confirm the file byte for byte.
In PowerShell:
Licensed per the terms on your purchase page — one license per named user, node-locked to that user's machine. Refund policy is stated on this listing.
AxiomLens Engine Core supports compliance documentation and audit preparation. Framework coverage views are estimated from installed crosswalk packs (largely NIST-hosted informative references; relationships unrated). It is decision-support — not legal, compliance, or audit advice, and not a certification or guarantee of compliance. Review outputs with a qualified professional before relying on them.
