EthicVault is the deterministic governance layer between AI and the real world. Every action is measured, proof-bound, and validated in strict order — then passed, audited, or blocked. Same input, same verdict, every time. In software for the enterprise, and in silicon at the edge.

Engineered for regulated environments
From the moment a model proposes an action to the moment that action touches the world, custody never leaves the architecture — measured, classified, decided, and proven.

WORM Audit Chain
Every AI output is scored — in a single decision — against both an approved reference and a prohibited one, with embedding-space distortion corrected first. Outputs that merely look on-topic are separated from those that are genuinely aligned.
A three-tier deterministic classifier — PASS, AUDIT, BLOCK — computed in fixed-point arithmetic against frozen thresholds. Hard-veto priority is non-negotiable by design.
The only component with authority to decide — and it acts exclusively on proof-bound state after schema, proof-anchor, and replay validation succeed, in strict order.
Every verdict is serialized, hashed, and anchored under a Merkle root in write-once storage. Years later, an examiner replays any decision byte-for-byte.
Probabilistic guardrails give different answers on different days. EthicVault's verdicts are mathematical functions of frozen state — reproducible byte-for-byte, years later, in front of an examiner.
Architecture protected by pending U.S. patent applications — method and silicon.
basis points
Floating-point ambiguity is eliminated at the boundary: every governance variable is scaled to integers over 0–10,000. The same submission produces the same bits on any CPU, GPU, or JIT backend.
ordered validations
Schema → proof anchor → replay. The policy engine contains no code path that reaches threshold evaluation without all three succeeding — failure anywhere is an architectural BLOCK.
Every output is scored against both — the verdict follows the margin.
High coherence with the approved reference, low with the prohibited — a wide, clean margin. The action passes.
03 · The Silicon Line
A software guard shares its processor with the model it polices. Our hardware line moves the gate into the die: an execution restrictor sits electrically in series with the actuation path — non-conducting by default, completing the circuit only on a proof-bound approve disposition.
The restrictor sits in series with the stimulation driver — a therapy pulse physically cannot fire without an approve disposition. Reversible fail-closed latch with audited re-arm.
AI driving-policy commands traverse the gate before the actuator bus. A blocked command drops the vehicle into a fail-operational safe state; every disposition is recorded.
Powered entirely from the reader field: transaction authorization is withheld unless the on-die risk model's output clears validation. No battery, no network, no override.
Policy-bound governance
Our Policy Compiler turns your board-approved policies — not a new framework — into a deterministic execution boundary. Purpose-built for the sectors that answer to a mandate.
04 · Assurance
Deploy on-premises, air-gapped, or in a single-tenant private VPC. Customer data never trains models, keys stay yours, and every verdict is anchored in tamper-evident storage. Read the security brief →
