AI governance sits at the seam between law, machine learning, and systems engineering. We put those disciplines on the same team and point them at the same record.

Why we exist

The Rules Multiplied. The Record Didn't.

AI is now governed by hundreds of overlapping instruments across dozens of jurisdictions, and the number climbs every quarter. Most organisations meet that with documents: policies written once, filed, and out of date the moment a system changes. The exposure sits precisely in the gap between what the rules require and what a company can show it did.

We think that gap closes only one way, by treating regulation as data. Decompose each regime into its atomic obligations, trace every one to the article or annex that demands it, bind it to the control that satisfies it, and keep the whole thing live. That is the difference between asserting compliance and evidencing it, and it is the company we're building.

How we work

Four Principles

  • 01

    Evidence Over Assertion

    Governance is a record you can produce on demand, not a claim you make in a policy. Everything we build ends in an artefact.
  • 02

    The Obligation Is the Atom

    We track duties, not documents. One control, mapped correctly, can satisfy many rules across many regimes at once.
  • 03

    Research in the Open

    Our methodology and our numbers are published. The corpus is research-grade and internally audited, and we say so plainly.
  • 04

    For Regulated Enterprise

    We aim at the hardest cases, the systems and sectors where getting it wrong is expensive, not the easy demonstrations.

White paper

Buying AI Risk

Most organisations carry AI exposure they cannot yet measure or manage, and they are already paying for it. The cost arrives in forms nobody books against AI: higher insurance premiums, longer procurement cycles, audit findings, and contracts lost to competitors who could answer the customer’s questions. None of this shows up as a line item, so it rarely gets attention. Pricing that risk starts with understanding it, which means knowing which systems are in use, what obligations attach to them, and where the gaps are. Without that, every figure is a guess.
