The AI Governance Operating System for the regulated enterprise.
AxiomGRC is an agentic, evidence-graph-backed AI governance and model risk automation platform that turns the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, SR 11-7 and the emerging state AI laws into continuously enforced controls — with 85%+ gross margins and NRR compounding on every model, agent and jurisdiction a customer adds.
The thesis in five lines
1. Forced buying event. High-risk EU AI Act obligations take effect August 2026 with fines up to 7% of global revenue. Every enterprise deploying material AI now has a board-mandated line item.
2. Legacy GRC cannot absorb this. Archer, MetricStream, ServiceNow GRC and OneTrust were built for SOC2/ISO27001-shaped controls, not stochastic models, agent traces and evidence tied to specific inference calls.
3. AI-native incumbents are early and undercapitalized. Credo AI, Holistic AI, Fairly AI and Fiddler collectively hold <$400M in funding across the category — no clear winner, no data moat compounding yet.
4. Agentic delivery = 85%+ gross margins. Control mapping, evidence collection, gap remediation and audit-package generation run as LLM agents against a proprietary control graph. No offshore review team; no per-seat human COGS.
5. Expansion is structural. Every net-new model, agent, jurisdiction and framework the customer adds increases contract value. Target NRR of 128% in year three.

Positioning
Not another AI wrapper.
AI Governance OS
A new category. Not a GRC module, not a model monitor, not a policy PDF generator.
Chief AI Officer + CISO + General Counsel
A committee sale into a mandated budget. Champion pain is board-visible.

Risk management + technical documentation. Non-negotiable, auditable, dated.
