A narrow product, built carefully, for people with a lot to lose.
Hi — I'm Hongyi, the founder of Attestum.
I started building this after a year of watching production AI agents cause real incidents — the kind that reach regulated customers, ship the wrong tool call, or land the wrong field in a downstream system that auditors look at. Every post-mortem concluded the same way: we need better evals and faster rollback.
Meanwhile the industry kept shipping observability. Prettier traces. LLM-as-judge rubrics. Dashboards with sparklines. All of it useful, none of it enforcing. Observability is forensics — governance is what stops the incident mid-run. That's the gap Attestum closes.
The product is deliberately narrow. We are not an AI gateway. We are not an observability platform. We are not an agent framework. We are the control plane that turns your signed SLA into enforced behavior, with an audit trail your compliance team can live with.
I'm building in public. The open specification at github.com/attestum-ai/agent-sla-spec is intentionally free and framework-neutral. If it's right, it should be implementable by five different vendors by 2027. Attestum is the first. Adoption is the moat — not proprietary lock-in.
If your agents are going to production and your compliance team is asking questions you don't have documented answers to yet, I'd like to talk. Request early access or email me directly at [email protected].

How we decide what to build.
Nothing ships unless it helps a compliance-minded buyer say yes.
Every feature request is filtered through one question: does this make it easier for a CISO or Head of AI Risk to sign a pilot this quarter? If the answer is "not really" or "foundational for later," we don't build it.
P99 control-plane overhead stays under 10 milliseconds.
No enterprise delegates control-plane authority to a layer that slows them down. If we exceed the budget for five consecutive minutes, Attestum rolls itself back automatically. This is not marketing — it's in the signed SLA.
The spec is free. The product is paid.
The Open Agent SLA Specification is CC-BY. Our audit-trail control library mapped to EU AI Act Annex III will be public. The product wins on execution and depth of compliance coverage, not on proprietary formats.
Pricing is a platform fee. Not savings-share. Not per-token.
We charge a flat platform fee because our value is reliability and governance, not cost reduction. Cost reduction happens as a by-product — we report it, we don't charge for it. $25k/month Starter, $100k/month Enterprise. Published.
