Open Verification, Protected Governance

SONATE is built on a simple belief: AI governance must be independently verifiable. Verification should never depend on a single vendor—including us.

Our Philosophy

Open Verification

We publish open standards, verification tools, and transparent cryptographic foundations. Anyone can independently verify SONATE trust receipts without relying on our infrastructure.

Protected Governance

We protect the proprietary governance engine that powers enforcement, drift detection, and oversight. This is our intellectual property.

This balance — open verification, protected governance — is what makes SONATE both trustworthy and defensible.

Open Components

MIT-licensed and freely available. Enable independent verification without vendor lock-in.

Verification SDKs (MIT)

  • Ed25519 signature validation
  • SHA-256 hash-chain verification
  • RFC 8785 canonicalization
  • JavaScript and Python parity
View on GitHub

Specifications (Public)

  • Trust Receipt Specification v1.0
  • Hash-chaining format
  • DID identity structure
  • Compliance mappings (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2)

Standardized, versioned, and interoperable across languages.

Verification is vendor-neutral by design. Anyone can validate SONATE receipts offline, in any environment, using open tools.

Proprietary Components

Commercial license. These systems form SONATE's governance engine—the intelligence layer that evaluates, enforces, and governs AI behavior.

Policy Engine Runtime

  • • Weighted constraint orchestration
  • • Real-time enforcement logic
  • • SYMBI principle evaluation
  • • Violation persistence and audit

Behavioral Drift Detection

  • • Cross-session volatility modeling
  • • Temporal alignment analysis
  • • Multi-turn behavioral deviation
  • • Phase-shift velocity detection

Overseer Governance Layer

  • • Closed-loop monitoring and escalation
  • • Autonomous policy enforcement
  • • Archive analysis and validation
  • • Real-time threat detection

Enterprise Features

  • • Unified model gateway
  • • Key rotation and security controls
  • • Multi-region deployment
  • • Compliance export tooling

These systems represent SONATE's core intellectual property and competitive advantage. They enable enterprise-grade governance that isn't achievable with commodity solutions.

Commercial Licensing

Enterprise Licensing

Standards Commitment

Open Verification

Anyone can validate SONATE receipts

Independent Auditability

Cryptography is transparent, no black boxes

Transparent Foundations

Ed25519, SHA-256, RFC standards

No Lock-in

Use our SDKs or implement your own

Stable Specifications

Versioned, standardized formats

Interoperability

JavaScript, Python, Go, and more

SONATE aims to become the industry standard for AI non-repudiation infrastructure

A foundation that any organization can trust, verify, and build upon.

The Balance

Open Where It Matters

Verification, cryptography, specifications, and SDKs. No vendor lock-in.

Proprietary Where It Must Be

Governance engine, enforcement logic, drift detection, and Overseer.

SONATE is transparent by design. No black boxes, no unverifiable claims. Built for the ecosystem—not just for our platform.
