Corvair CorvairAI Governance
Governed AI for regulated industries and the public sector

Governed AI you can prove and defend.

Corvair is the AI governance company for institutions that answer to a regulator. We build the governed knowledge and reasoning layer, provide the advisory practice around it, and publish the research the field relies on, so every AI decision is grounded, attributed, and defensible. Built for banking, insurance, and the public sector, and sound enough for any organisation that takes AI seriously.

The problem

A decision you cannot document is a decision you cannot defend.

People make consequential decisions every day without recording what they rest on: which facts, which sources, and whose authority. AI agents are now being deployed to make and support those same decisions at scale, usually with even less of a trail. And regulators are moving in one direction: they will expect more, not less, and are already looking for the controls, the security, and the provable basis behind every automated decision.

warning
Governance has to be provable, not asserted. We catalogued 133 agentic-AI risks across 15 categories and mapped them to the frameworks you answer to. See the Risk Catalog.
What we do

A product, an advisory practice, and the research behind them.

The product

The Knowledge Substrate.

The software that gives regulated institutions trustworthy knowledge and governed reasoning, so every AI answer and decision is grounded, attributed, and provable.

Flagship

Knowledge Substrate

A governed knowledge layer and virtual expert for regulated industries. It unifies licensed expertise, your own content, and vetted sources into one trust-scored base, keeps it current with cooperating agents, and answers in plain language with a citation and a signed Validity Warrant behind every word, for people and AI agents alike.

  • checkAsk, Search, Deep Research, and the Canvas over one governed base
  • checkA Validity Warrant on every answer and decision
  • checkSelf-tending base, auto-curated under steward governance
  • checkOpen format (OKF) and bi-directional catalog integration
How you use it

Four ways in, one answer

People and AI agents reach the same governed base the same way, with the same attribution and the same proof behind every response.

  • checkAsk: a virtual expert answers, grounded and warranted
  • checkSearch across everything you are allowed to see
  • checkDeep Research: a cited, multi-pass report
  • checkThe Canvas: frame a subject from every angle
Ask, Search, Deep Research, and the Canvas flow into one governed base, which serves both people and AI agents with the same proof.
Ask, Search, Deep Research, and the Canvas over one governed base, serving people and agents with the same proof.
The Ask view: a virtual expert returns a grounded, cited answer with a premise chain and a signed Validity Warrant.
The Ask view in the app: a grounded, cited answer with its premise chain and a signed Validity Warrant.
Shared concepts arranged around a hub, each sized by how many frameworks reference it, from Activity and Evidence to Place.
The Canvas frames a subject over a shared map of concepts, so one topic reads the same way across every framework that references it.
Why Corvair

Architecture-first governance, built in.

Convenience without proof is a liability in a regulated decision. Corvair makes the governance explicit: what the base covers, which sources a claim rests on, whether it is current, and who or what decided, all signed and replayable.

Provable decisions

A signed Validity Warrant records the knowledge, reasoning, and authority behind every answer. Open it months later and it still verifies.

account_tree

Trust-tiered knowledge

Every source carries a tier, and the tier travels into every answer, so trust is governable rather than a feeling.

smart_toy

Governed autonomy

People and AI agents share one governed surface under a scoped authority, with circuit breakers and a full audit trail.

Original research

Built on original research, Lean Six Sigma measurement, and decades of enterprise architecture in regulated industries.

Every source carries a trust tier, from T1 Institutional and certified down to T4 Speculative, and the tier travels into every answer.
A Validity Warrant records five parts: the question, the knowledge and its tier, the reasoning, the authority, and a signature, and it still verifies later.

Solutions

Any regulated domain, and the public sector too.

The substrate works for any knowledge-intensive domain. We ship the Banking Suite first, prebuilt virtual experts for six front-office domains on one governed substrate, and any other domain, including government, is built from your own content, a recipe rather than a new deployment.

Six prebuilt banking domains, Wealth Management, Retail, Commercial, Markets and Treasury, Risk and Compliance, and Operations, on one governed substrate.
The Banking Suite ships six front-office domains on one governed substrate; any other domain, including the public sector, is built the same way.

Services

We stand it up, and help you adopt it.

Product-led, service-supported. Installation, adoption, customization, and custom agents get your Knowledge Substrate live; advisory and implementation services bring the governance and the Center of Excellence around it.

Published research

The research behind the product.

A working body of agentic-AI risks, regulations, and use cases, used by governance teams in regulated industries and the public sector.

Ask a governance question in plain language.
Answered from our 28-guide library, with sources. For example:
How does the EU AI Act apply to credit decisioning? MAS AIRG model governance requirements Compare GDPR and PDPA for AI
Original research

The failure modes we named, and built to close.

Original research into how ungoverned agentic AI goes wrong. The Knowledge Substrate is designed to close each one.
