Governance committees don't trust policy documents. They trust evidence. We help AI vendors generate proof their controls actually ran.
The Problem
You've built AI that works. But every health system governance committee asks questions you can't answer:
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."
What's Happening Now
~100,000 patients. Allegation: ambient scribe hallucinated consent. The AI vendor can't cryptographically prove otherwise.
AI Governance Committee blocked vendor contract over data ownership and auditability concerns. Vendor's dashboard wasn't enough.
For AI vendors: Every month without provable controls is another deal stuck in legal review, another competitor who might figure this out first.
What We Do
We generate cryptographically signed proof that your safety controls executed at inference time. Timestamped. Independently verifiable. Mapped to the frameworks procurement committees recognize.
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
Regulations create deadlines. But the real urgency is competitive: while your deals are stuck in legal, someone else is figuring this out.
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 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.

Let’s Talk
We're looking for healthcare AI teams who need to prove their safety controls work—and want to be the first to do it with cryptographic proof.
DESIGN PARTNERS WE'RE LOOKING FOR
→ LLMs or agentic AI in clinical workflows
→ Safety guardrails that need evidence they ran
→ Pursuing FDA pathways or regulatory authorization
→ Selling to health systems with governance committees
