Trust, built in.
Autonomous AI agents in your codebase, infrastructure, and operations —
with authorization, evidence, and human accountability enforced at every step.
No matter which model or harness you use next quarter.
What steadfaste gives you
Designed for the people who answer to boards, auditors, and regulators.
Fail Closed
If governance is unavailable, sensitive actions are denied — not silently permitted. Additive-only interfaces mean your controls keep working even as the system evolves.
Model Independence
Switch from Claude to Codex, from Hermes to Gemini — your authorization controls don't move. The foundation stays. The agents are replaceable.
Tamper-Evident Audit Trail
Every action recorded with evidence. What happened, why, who authorized it, and what supports the result. Answers that hold up under scrutiny.
Graded Trust
Five-tier verification before an agent's output is accepted. Trust is earned slowly, lost quickly. The system learns which models perform well for which work.
One Governing Path
Approvals, permissions, audit evidence, dry runs, and emergency stops — all enforced below the agent layer. No surface can route around governance.
Regulation-Aligned
Built for ISO/IEC 42001, NIST AI RMF, and EU AI Act — not as compliance theater. Good governance is a natural byproduct of operating the system.
How it works
The Constitution
The small, stable core. It owns state, the tamper-evident ledger, permissions, verification, and lifecycle control. The system's single authority — no agent can modify its own rules.
Judgment
A fast, deterministic scorer evaluates every candidate action against policy and context before it executes. Escalates uncertain cases to humans rather than guessing.
The Wire
A deliberately small, versioned protocol between the core and your agents. Additive-only changes mean existing workers keep working — no matter what model ships next.
Core Interface
Web UI, TUI, messaging, and dashboards — all human-facing surfaces sit behind the Constitution. Governed state, evidence, and lifecycle are exposed without bypassing enforcement.
Incremental adoption
You don't replace what's already working. steadfaste adds one decision point in front of the enforcement you already run — sandboxes, policy servers, CI gates, observability platforms.
- One record of every decision, with evidence attached
- One evidence stream joined to your existing observability by run ID
- One contract rather than a migration
