Strategic Architecture & Execution Plan

1.A fortified slope keeping threats in clear view.
2.Cryptographic evidence fabric for production AI.
From
Joe Braidwood, CEO
To
Internal Stakeholders / AI2

1. The Market Driver: The Determinism Gap

The Conflict

Generative AI is probabilistic. The Law is deterministic.

EU AI Act (Article 12)

Mandates "continuous automatic recording of events" to ensure traceability throughout the lifecycle.

FDA (SaMD Guidance)

Requires manufacturers to demonstrate "provenance and traceability" of data used in clinical decisions.

The Opportunity

Current tools (Datadog, Arize) provide Observability (mutable logs). Regulators require Attestation (immutable proof).

THE GAP
App Logs Mutable / Forgable
Glacis Receipt Immutable / Legal
The Vision

Every decision, accountable.
Every proof, immutable.
Every system, trusted.

We are not building better logging.
We are building the "Notary Public" for the Intelligence Age.

2. The “Proof” Primitive

Glacis differentiates via Zero-Payload Egress. We separate the Assertion (the AI output) from the Attestation (the proof it followed policy).

1. Zero-Payload

Sensitive data stays in the customer's local CAS. Only cryptographic commitments leave the boundary.

> Egress: 0 bytes PII

2. S3P Protocol

Statistical Safety Signal Protocol. 0.1% sampling with mathematically rigorous confidence intervals (Clopper-Pearson).

> Verifiable Randomness

3. Co-Epoch Binding

Binds receipts to a specific binary version and 5-minute time window. Prevents "binary substitution" attacks.

> Anti-Replay

System Topology

CUSTOMER VPC (Private) GLACIS SIDECAR S3P Engine / Hasher Local Evidence (CAS) GLACIS CLOUD Witness Service Ledger / Merkle Hashes Only

3. Dual-Horizon Commercial Strategy

Phase A: Compliance

Timeline: Q4 2025 - Q1 2026

  • Buyer: CISO / Healthcare
  • Value: Automated NIST/HIPAA adherence.
  • Traction: Direct enterprise pilots (nVoq, Attuned).

Phase B: Insurance

Timeline: 2026+

  • Buyer: Cyber Carriers / Reinsurers
  • Value: Pricing GenAI risk.
  • Thesis: Actuarial models fail today because they lack verifiable control data. We provide the data.

4. The Independent Trust Fabric

How do we make this a global standard?

OSSP

Open Safety Signal Protocol

We will sponsor the open standard for the "Cryptographic Receipt."
Similar to CloudEvents or OpenTelemetry.

JSON Schema
Canonical definitions for attestation envelopes.
RFC 8785
Strict canonicalization standards for hashing.
Governance
Transfer to CNCF upon maturity.
