Current work
Proof systems for AI decisions.
Enterprise AI has a proof problem. Models do not hallucinate in isolation; they do it at scale, inside systems that touch customers, approve loans, write compliance letters, and influence hiring decisions.
SONATE creates signed, hash-chained Trust Receipts for AI interactions. The goal is simple: independent, verifiable evidence of what happened, when it happened, and whether the system followed the rules.
