The Science of AI Trust

Patent-pending technology for independent, verifiable AI behavioral assessment

Just as independent financial auditing became essential for capital markets, and safety certification became essential for aviation, independent AI behavioral verification will become essential for responsible AI deployment.

We're building the verification layer that doesn't exist yet—a standardized, cryptographically-verified system for assessing how AI systems actually behave at runtime. This is foundational infrastructure for AI governance.

Why Independent Validation Matters

Current approaches to AI safety leave critical gaps that create risk for organizations, regulators, and users.

Self-attestation is insufficient

Organizations claiming their AI is "safe" or "aligned" without independent verification is like companies auditing their own books. The conflict of interest is inherent. Trust requires separation between the assessed and the assessor.

Training-time alignment isn't enough

AI systems can drift, be fine-tuned, or behave differently in production than in testing. A model that passed safety evaluations during development may behave very differently after deployment—through prompt injection, context manipulation, or emergent behaviors in novel situations.

Trust requires proof

Regulators, customers, and partners need cryptographically verifiable evidence—not promises. When asked "how do you know your AI behaves ethically?", organizations need documentation that cannot be falsified or retroactively modified.

The verification gap

No standardized, independent system exists for runtime AI behavioral assessment. This is the gap we're filling.

“Without independent verification, AI safety claims are unfalsifiable marketing.”

A New Category: Runtime Behavioral Certification

We've built a fundamentally different approach to AI behavioral assessment.

Runtime, not training-time

We assess deployed AI systems as they actually behave in production—not how they performed during development. This catches drift, fine-tuning effects, and deployment-specific behaviors that training-time evaluation misses.

Multi-dimensional, not binary

Our LCSH framework (Lying, Cheating, Stealing, Harm) provides nuanced behavioral profiles across four fundamental ethical dimensions. This isn't pass/fail—it's a comprehensive behavioral fingerprint that shows where an AI excels and where it has weaknesses.

Cryptographically verified

Every assessment produces tamper-evident results. SHA-256 hashing, hash chains linking sequential elements, and optional Ethereum mainnet anchoring create audit trails that cannot be falsified. When we say an AI scored 8.7, that claim is mathematically verifiable.

Continuous, not one-time

Behavioral certification isn't a moment—it's a process. Our drift detection algorithms monitor for behavioral changes over time, alerting when an AI's profile shifts from its certified baseline. Scheduled assessments catch problems before they become incidents.

Four Patents. One Integrated System.

Our patent portfolio covers the complete infrastructure for AI behavioral governance—from foundational assessment methodology to enterprise compliance automation. Together, these innovations create a comprehensive system for independent AI verification.

PATENT 1
Multi-Dimensional Behavioral Assessment
US Provisional Application No. 63/949,454 • Filed Dec 26, 2025

The foundational LCSH framework assessing AI behavior across four ethical dimensions (Lying, Cheating, Stealing, Harm) with 120 scenario-based questions, four behavioral archetypes, and cryptographic verification producing tamper-evident audit trails.

Key Claims:

4-axis scoring • Archetype classification • SHA-256 verification • Dead zone gaming detection • Anti-gaming answer randomization

PATENT 2
Multi-Agent AI Assessment
Continuation-in-Part • Draft Feb 1, 2026

Framework for assessing AI behavior in multi-agent systems—detecting emergent misalignment when collective outputs differ from individual profiles, distinguishing legitimate consensus from manufactured agreement, and preserving minority positions for audit.

Key Claims:

Consensus Divergence Index • Manufactured consensus detection • Hierarchical assessment levels • Cryptographic dissent preservation • Adversarial auditor protocol

PATENT 3
Hierarchical Ethical Assessment
Related Application • Draft Feb 1, 2026

Four-level framework mirroring human moral reasoning: Morality (what must NOT be done), Virtue (what SHOULD be done), Ethics (how to act in society), and Operational Excellence (domain-specific purpose fulfillment). Mandatory gating prevents certification of operationally excellent but morally deficient systems.

Key Claims:

Level dependency enforcement • Multi-framework virtue assessment • Culture and politics evaluation • Cultural indicator aggregation • Framework selection logic

PATENT 4
Automated Compliance Infrastructure
Extension Application • Draft Feb 2, 2026

Complete operational infrastructure for continuous AI compliance: trust verification ecosystem ("Badge is CLAIM, Portal is PROOF"), velocity-based drift detection with pattern classification, privacy-preserving SDK architecture, and information-theoretic confidence measurement.

Key Claims:

28 claims across: Trust verification • Adaptive compliance • Privacy-preserving architecture • Cryptographic integrity systems

The Only Sustainable Path

Independent AI behavioral verification isn't just our business model—it's an inevitability. Here's why.

1
Regulatory inevitability

The EU AI Act requires documented risk management for high-risk AI systems. The Colorado AI Act mandates impact assessments. SEC and CFPB are actively examining AI in financial services. Regulations requiring demonstrated AI behavioral assessment are not coming—they're here. Organizations that can prove compliance will have competitive advantage; those that can't will face penalties, litigation, and market access restrictions.

2
Trust asymmetry

AI providers certifying their own systems creates the same conflict of interest that led to mandatory independent financial auditing after Enron. The market will demand third-party verification—not because regulators require it, but because customers, partners, and insurers will refuse to accept self-attestation. We're building that verification infrastructure now.

3
Cryptographic truth

In an era of deepfakes and synthetic media, cryptographic verification is the only way to establish trust at scale. Our hash chains and blockchain anchors provide mathematically unfakeable proof. When we verify an AI's behavioral assessment, that verification cannot be retroactively altered, deleted, or falsified—by us or anyone else.

4
Network effects

As more organizations adopt independent certification, it becomes the expected standard. Early adopters establish credibility and operational maturity. Late adopters must explain why they resisted—a conversation no organization wants to have with regulators, customers, or juries.

5
Insurance and liability

As AI-related litigation increases, documented behavioral assessment becomes evidence of due diligence. Organizations with certification can demonstrate they took reasonable steps to ensure their AI behaved appropriately. Organizations without it face increased liability exposure and higher insurance premiums.

“The question isn't whether independent AI behavioral verification will become standard—it's who will build it. We're building it now.”
