The accumulated regression suite — thousands of edge cases from every deployed instance, every bug fix, every regulatory change — becomes the most comprehensive test of autonomous agent correctness ever assembled.
|
|
|
|
Any organization claiming a "safe AI agent" needs Passepartout certification to prove it. This is Underwriters Laboratory for AI — a certification nobody can ignore.
|
|
|
|
**Revenue:** licensing the certification mark to every AI vendor that ships an agent. **Margins:** near-100% once the suite exists.

This is the venture-scale outcome. It depends on the [[id:45258a2d-1675-562c-9024-5d1eb2f1ea56][evaluation harness]] reaching critical mass, which depends on enough instances deploying the software to accumulate edge cases in the regression suite. The [[id:5961e469-53a3-5f3c-ab72-3c83ef91963f][investment thesis]] is built on the recognition that every deployed instance makes this more valuable.
|
|
|
|
The unique structural advantage: every free instance of the triad feeds the regression suite. The more people use the free software, the more valuable the certification monopoly becomes. Positive sum.
