Partner Ecosystem

One governance strategy. Specialized capabilities.

Cognitive View

Cognitive View provides an AI Governance Platform that is tailored, automated, and ahead of compliance standards. It helps organizations simplify AI self-assessments, publish TrustCenters, and stay aligned with NIST, OAIC, the EU AI Act, GDPR, and CCPA.

With DecisionX, Cognitive View supports a fintech and mortgage-industry module tailored to both known and expected lending and banking requirements.

Conforma

Smart Compliance for Sustainable Growth. Conforma integrates legal, business, and compliance expertise to help lenders and brokers reduce risk efficiently while building resilient, sustainable businesses.

Together, DecisionX and Conforma aim to create a mortgage-industry equivalent of a combined AI Governance and Internal Audit Manual—shifting the conversation from “Do we have an AI Policy?” to “Can we demonstrate, with evidence, that every AI control is operating?”

Scorched Earth Labs

Scorched Earth Labs challenges foundational assumptions in AI and human-computer interaction through experimental research. Its AI State Tree Protocol (ASTP) is a patent-pending protocol for Cognitive Persistence that preserves evolving AI cognitive state with provenance and integrity.

DecisionX is exploring how this work can support verifiable cognition and stronger governance for persistent AI agents.

Different capabilities. One objective: Making AI worthy of trust.
