Government Capability Profile · AXI-GOV-001
AxiLayer AI, Inc. is an independent AI assessment body. We audit, validate, and continuously monitor the artificial intelligence systems government agencies and their contractors rely on — combining certified human auditors with AxiSentinel™, our patent-pending continuous compliance platform. We build no AI systems and resell no AI products, so our findings carry no conflict of interest into an Inspector General review.
Company Overview
AxiLayer AI, Inc. is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Roswell, Georgia, established in 2026 to fill a structural gap in the artificial intelligence market: nearly everyone assessing AI systems also sells them. Consultancies that build models audit models. Cloud providers that host inference certify inference. When an agency needs to demonstrate to Congress, to an Inspector General, or to a federal court that its AI system was independently examined, that conflict is the first thing opposing counsel finds.
We built the company to have nothing to find. AxiLayer AI holds no reseller agreements, no implementation partnerships, and no revenue relationships with any AI vendor, model provider, or cloud platform. We do not develop AI systems for clients and then assess them. Assessment is the entire business.
Our practice covers the full assurance lifecycle: pre-deployment conformity assessment, algorithm and model validation, AI risk assessment, compliance readiness for statutory and executive-branch requirements, regulatory advisory, documentation packages built to withstand audit, and continuous post-deployment monitoring delivered through our own platform. We work across six continents and forty-seven-plus regulatory frameworks, which matters to federal buyers whose systems, data, or vendors cross jurisdictions.
For government specifically, we operate as a registered federal vendor under CAGE Code 20JV1 and UEI CB76ENDLMUC9, registered in SAM.gov for all award types since 3 June 2026, and support federal agencies, defense components, state and local government, and the prime contractors who serve them.
“An AI assessment is only worth what it is worth in front of someone hostile. We design every engagement backwards from that moment.”
AxiLayer AI — Assessment DoctrineTo be the independent standard in AI compliance — giving public institutions defensible, evidence-backed answers about the AI systems they deploy, before those answers are demanded of them.
A public sector where no AI system reaches a citizen-affecting decision without an independent, continuously verified record of how it behaves, who oversaw it, and what authority permitted it.
Independence without exception. Evidence over assertion. Human accountability at the point of judgment. Findings written to be read by adversaries, not by marketing departments.
The only AI assurance provider that pairs certified human auditors with a purpose-built, patent-pending continuous monitoring platform that runs inside classified and air-gapped facilities.
The Delivery Model
Every AxiLayer AI engagement is delivered by a combined human-and-machine assurance model. The machine layer never stops watching and never signs anything. The human layer signs everything and is never asked to watch continuously. Government buyers get the coverage of automation and the accountability of a named, qualified professional — which is precisely what federal AI oversight policy asks for.
AxiSentinel monitors the AI system against the frameworks that legally apply to it, around the clock. A threshold breach generates a Provisional Alert — not a finding, not a certification. A flag, timestamped and routed for human review.
A qualified AxiLayer AI auditor examines the underlying evidence, validates or overrides the alert, and applies a cryptographic signature. This is the step where a machine flag becomes a legally meaningful finding.
The signed finding is committed to the cryptographic evidence chain and a Compliance Passport is issued — tamper-evident, traceable to the auditor who signed it, and built to hold up under regulatory and IG scrutiny.
Nothing AxiLayer AI issues is certified by automation alone. No alert becomes a finding, and no finding becomes a Compliance Passport, until a qualified human auditor has reviewed the evidence and signed it. That constraint is architectural, not procedural — the platform cannot issue a certificate without a human signature. It exists so that an agency can name the person accountable for a conclusion when asked, and so that the record satisfies human-oversight requirements rather than merely claiming to.
Core Competencies
Eight competencies, each deliverable as a standalone task order or combined into a full lifecycle assurance program. All are performed by AxiLayer AI personnel and instrumented, where the client environment allows, by the AxiSentinel platform.
Full third-party examination of a deployed or pre-deployment AI system: data lineage, model behavior, decision logic, control environment, and human oversight. Produces an audit report and evidence file structured for regulator, Inspector General, GAO, and litigation review.
Technical validation of model performance, robustness, and stability across subpopulations and operating conditions — including bias and disparate-impact testing, adversarial robustness, and validation of frontier, multi-agent, and tool-using architectures where conventional audit technique does not yet reach.
Risk identification, characterization, and prioritization mapped to NIST AI RMF 1.0 functions (Govern, Map, Measure, Manage), ISO/IEC 23894, and agency-specific risk taxonomies — including impact assessment for rights-affecting and safety-affecting uses.
Assessment of an agency's or contractor's current posture against the AI governance obligations that actually bind it, with a prioritized, costed remediation roadmap and the artifacts an assessor will ask for. Delivered before the audit, not after the finding.
Independent verification that an AI system does what its requirements, its authority to operate, and its solicitation said it would do — performed independently of the developing contractor and reported directly to the government.
Ongoing post-deployment surveillance through AxiSentinel, closing the interval between "the model changed" and "someone qualified knows" from a quarterly cycle to real time. Includes model-drift, guardrail-breach, and human-oversight-gap detection.
Interpretation of AI governance obligations across US federal policy and international regimes for program offices, CAIOs, general counsel, and acquisition teams — including AI-specific requirements language for solicitations, SOWs, and vendor evaluation criteria.
Production of the compliance record itself: model cards, system documentation, technical files, impact assessments, oversight logs, control narratives, and Compliance Passports — written to be read by an adversarial reviewer and organized so that nothing has to be reconstructed later.
Proprietary Technology
AxiSentinel is AxiLayer AI's own continuous AI compliance platform, protected by three U.S. provisional patent applications with a 6 June 2026 priority date. It is not a dashboard displaying numbers a person typed in; it is a live evaluation engine that watches AI systems in production and generates the evidence a human auditor then reviews and signs. It was designed from the outset for environments where connectivity to external infrastructure is prohibited.
Intercepts every AI inference event in the monitored system. No sampling, no gaps, and no human intervention required between regulatory updates.
A tamper-evident SHA3-256 Merkle chain links every audit record, with post-quantum cryptographic agility built in. Evidence is defensible from day one rather than assembled at audit time.
Continuously measures where human control over AI decisions is thinning, quantified as a composite HOGS score across five dimensions — the metric federal human-in-the-loop requirements imply but rarely define.
The .axibatch binary format generates continuous audit evidence inside disconnected and classified facilities with no network connectivity required — the capability that most commercial AI governance tooling simply does not have.
RegDef packages encode obligations across forty-seven-plus regulatory regimes. New jurisdictions are added by publishing a new RegDef package, without modifying agents already deployed in your environment.
An OCSP-equivalent for AI compliance certificates. A certificate resolves as VALID, CONDITIONAL, SUSPENDED, or REVOKED in under 100 milliseconds — so a government verifier never relies on a PDF issued months ago.
Adversarial input detection, model-update poisoning prevention, drift and guardrail-breach detection, AI phishing and anomalous-agent behavioral auditing, and synthetic-media and voice-clone identity assurance — in the same agent that produces the compliance evidence.
As systems shift from producing outputs to taking action, RegDef extends to agentic governance — tool permissions, action logs, escalation protocols, inter-agent communication — and to embodied AI in robotics and autonomous machinery operating near people.
The AXI-Node agent deploys inside your environment without modification to the AI system's core components. Read-only, lightweight, and free of vendor lock-in.

Frameworks & Authorities
Federal AI governance is not one rule. It is executive-branch policy, agency-specific security authorization, statutory civil-rights obligation, accessibility law, and international standard, all landing on the same system at once. We assess against the set that actually binds the program in question.
Why AxiLayer AI
No reseller agreements, no implementation partnerships, no revenue relationship with any AI vendor, model provider, or cloud platform. There is no conflict for an Inspector General, a GAO protest, or opposing counsel to surface, because there is none to find.
A snapshot assessment is stale the first time the model is retrained. AxiSentinel keeps the assurance current between reviews, so the answer to "is it still compliant" does not require a new procurement.
Findings are hash-linked into a tamper-evident SHA3-256 Merkle chain and signed by a named auditor. The evidence answers "prove this record was not altered," which a PDF report cannot.
The .axibatch format produces continuous audit evidence with no outbound connectivity. Most commercial AI governance products cannot operate at all inside an air-gapped facility.
No certificate can be issued without a qualified human signature. When an agency is asked who is accountable for a conclusion, there is a name, a qualification record, and a signature — not a model output.
Sixteen-plus regulatory regimes encoded, six continents served. Federal programs whose data, vendors, or partners cross borders get one assessment that speaks to all of the regimes involved rather than several that speak past each other.

Corporate Experience & Past Performance
AxiLayer AI was established in 2026 and registered in SAM.gov on 3 June 2026. We are an emerging federal vendor and do not yet hold a completed prime federal contract. We say so directly rather than dressing commercial work up as federal past performance, because an unverifiable claim on a capability statement is a finding waiting to happen. What follows is what we can substantiate.
Our CEO led enterprise architecture, global IT infrastructure, and CTO-level functions across Fortune 500 environments, including the hands-on design of MLOps and LLMOps ecosystems at global scale in regulated industries. That delivery record is the basis of AxiLayer AI's audit methodology, and it is verifiable through the individuals named on this page.
AxiSentinel's full architecture — RegDef, the cryptographic evidence chain, and the live certification registry — was designed, built, and patent-filed before any government funding or SBIR application. The government therefore acquires a mature technical capability without having paid to develop it, and the intellectual property position is unambiguous.
Assessment methodology, auditor competency criteria, and technical standard operating procedures are documented and maintained as a condition of our ISO/IEC 17020 Type A accreditation pursuit. The same documentation is available to a government reviewer evaluating our technical approach during source selection.
MAS published "Safeguards for Agentic Finance at Runtime" proposing a governance checkpoint between an AI agent's proposed action and its execution: verified against policy, then recorded, before anything runs. AxiSentinel's Steps 01 and 02 already functioned as exactly that checkpoint. The framework was published after our architecture was built, not before it.
AxiSentinel is in active pilot with partner organizations in regulated sectors. Named references, scope descriptions, and pilot outcomes are available to a contracting officer or source-selection authority on request, subject to each partner's confidentiality terms.
