A boundary before a surprise.

Owners, envelopes, policies and approvals around AI usage, so teams move fast without cost and value drifting apart.

Why Control

Control should make adoption faster.

Teams know the boundary, the owner and the escalation path. Finance gets predictability, not an approval queue.

The ladder · enforcement is earned, not implied

01ObserveRecord the breach. Nothing changes for runs.
02WarnNotify the owner. Runs continue.
03 · todayRequire approvalRuns past the boundary queue for the owner. 2,734 would wait.
04EnforceRuns are refused. Reversible by raising the threshold.

Envelopes · monthly

80%

of spend under a policy with an owner

Defaults come from the ledger’s own history. One breach, caught by the backtest.

2 of 4 agents owned
Ownership
Two agents have no business owner. The registry names the gap rather than assigning one, and the envelope still holds.
1 breach, caught early
Envelopes
Budgets and thresholds around teams, agents and workflows, set from the ledger's own history.
0 blind switches
Policies and approvals
Templates with data-derived defaults, a backtest before they switch on, and a record of each decision.

Scope

Valistry governs what AI costs and who answers for it. Security, privacy and model risk stay with the systems built for them.

Governs
Spend, envelopes and unit cost.
Who owns a workload, what it may cost, what a successful outcome should cost, and who approved the exception.
Governs
The record of each decision.
Owner, evidence, exception and expected value, appended to the same ledger the number came from.
Complements
Security, privacy, model risk.
Those systems keep their own controls. Valistry reads usage metadata only, never prompts, and never gates a model on content.
