Question 1

We already run Copilot, Cursor, or Devin: why do we need Tessuary?

Accepted Answer

Those tools ship you an employee: a capable individual engineer with ungoverned output. Tessuary ships you the organization: the sequence, the separation of duties, the gates, the evidence, and the institutional memory. It interoperates with your existing coding assistants while enforcing unskippable organizational controls.

Question 2

Can our engineering team build AI governance ourselves?

Accepted Answer

You can build custom wrappers per tool, but maintaining internal governance engines across shifting foundation models creates massive technical debt and lacks external regulatory auditability. Tessuary delivers a certified, supported, compounding governance graph with native Plane-3 cryptographic evidence.

Question 3

How do you guarantee our source code never leaves our corporate perimeter?

Accepted Answer

Tessuary is built boundary-first. In Tessuary Enclave (BYOC) and Tessuary Sovereign (Air-Gapped) editions, the entire execution pipeline runs inside your private VPC (AWS, GCP, Azure) or sovereign data enclave. Zero source code, ASTs, or repository files egress; only signed evidence metadata synchronizes upward.

Question 4

How does The Tessuary Record satisfy DORA, NIS2, and SOX-adjacent audits?

Accepted Answer

Rather than gathering subjective attestations after code merges, the deterministic supervisor emits an append-only, cryptographic hash-chained audit record at each of the 15 protocol steps. Auditors inspect verifiable proof of who approved each change, on what basis, under which version of the rules.

Question 5

What is the commercial model and licensing structure?

Accepted Answer

We price for governance value, not developer headcount. Pricing consists of predictable annual Governance Seats for risk-owning stakeholders (CISO, VP Eng, Chief Risk Officer, Tech Leads) plus metered Delivery Units for execution compute. Individual developers use the platform and CLI without per-seat tax.
