Pre-Seed 2026
We run your AI safety controls and prove they executed. Third-party witnessed, zero data egress.
+ Ambient scribes recording exam room conversations
+ Home care AI documenting patient visits
+ Clinical decision support advising on treatment
Every one is unwitnessed risk.
No proof the guardrails ran. No evidence of what controls executed.
The Problem
Every AI interaction in regulated industries carries risk—right now. When regulators, auditors, or plaintiffs come asking, can you prove what happened?
How do we know your guardrails actually ran on every inference?
Can you prove consent was captured before each AI interaction?
What happens when the plaintiff's attorney asks for evidence?
Your dashboard says "compliant."
Their lawyers say "prove it."
Nov 2025: Sharp HealthCare class action alleges ambient scribe hallucinated consent for ~100,000 patients. No cryptographic proof of what controls ran.
What's Happening Now
Sharp HealthCare Class Action
~100k patients. Ambient scribe faked consent.
Sales AI Under Scrutiny
Training AI with pre-release drug data requires provable boundaries.
OCC Model Risk Guidance
SR 11-7 requires audit trails for AI-assisted decisions.
Claims AI Challenged
Regulators demand explainability proof for denial decisions.
The pattern: AI is running in production right now. When something goes wrong, there's no witness, no proof of what controls ran. Just logs that lawyers tear apart.
What We Do
Every AI interaction gets a cryptographic witness—timestamped proof that safety controls executed. When regulators, auditors, or plaintiffs ask what happened, you have evidence they can verify.
When the attorney asks "prove it"—you can. When the procurement committee asks for evidence—you have it. When the auditor arrives—you're ready. And after the deal closes, you have ongoing proof for internal compliance, board reporting, and liability protection.
Why Now
Every day without witnessed deployment is another day of accumulating risk. Regulations are coming—but lawsuits and audits aren't waiting.
COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Close faster: Answer security questionnaires definitively
Reduce friction: Give governance committees what they need
Differentiate: Your competitors can't prove execution. You can.
REGULATORY DEADLINES
Standard of care precedes law. NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 are already the de facto duty of care.
The window: In 18 months, AI vendors without cryptographic proof will lose deals to those who have it.
The Market
TAM — Regulated AI Ecosystem
Vendors • Enterprises • AI Providers • Compliance Ecosystem
SAM — AI Governance & Compliance
SOM — Cryptographic AI Attestation
Entry: high-stakes AI in production today
Texas AG vs Pieces Tech (AI hallucination) • Colorado AI Act (Jun 2026) • EU AI Act (Aug 2026)
Every stakeholder needs proof
AI Vendors
Need proof to close enterprise deals, defend against liability
Enterprises Deploying AI
Need assurance their AI suppliers are operating responsibly
AI Providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)
Need downstream visibility into responsible model usage
Auditors & Regulators
Need verifiable evidence, not policy documents

The Insight
Guardrails block bad things. GRC platforms document policies. Neither proves your controls actually ran on every inference.
Infrastructure Players
Cloudflare, AWS, Alinia
Block bad things at runtime
Gap: No compliance mapping. Logs ≠ proof.
GRC Platforms
Vanta, Credo AI
Document policies and procedures
Gap: No runtime enforcement. Trust us.
GLACIS
Cryptographic Attestation
Prove execution at inference time
Runtime + Compliance + Proof
Hyperscalers can't witness their own AI. We're the independent third party.

The Vision
Vendors adopt GLACIS as a badge of honor
AI vendors differentiate by proving responsible deployment. Win deals faster. Reduce liability exposure.
Enterprises demand witnessed AI from their vendors
Health systems, banks, insurers require attestation as a procurement condition. GLACIS becomes the standard.
GLACIS becomes the actuarial signal for AI risk
Underwrite AI deployment risk at scale. Displace liability with data. The infrastructure layer for trusted AI.
