You shipped fast. You used Claude, Cursor, Bolt, v0, or Replit. Maybe all of them. The product works. Customers are using it.<br>But here’s the question nobody asks until it’s too late:<br>Can you prove what your AI-built software actually does?<br>Not what you think it does. Not what the README says. What it actually does — what decisions it makes, what it allows, what it blocks, what authority it checks, what evidence it requires, and what happens when any of those things are missing.<br>Most AI-built codebases can’t answer that question. Not because the founders are careless. Because the tools that generate the code don’t generate the governance. That gap is invisible until a customer asks, an investor digs in, or something goes wrong.<br>I built infrastructure to close that gap.<br>It’s called ASE — the Auditome Sovereign Engine. Every AI-assisted action that passes through ASE produces a cryptographically signed receipt before it executes. The receipt records who asked, what authority they had, what policy applied, what evidence was present, and what the decision was. The receipt is immutable. It’s independently verifiable. Anyone with the receipt can verify it without access to the system that issued it.<br>If the action was blocked — there’s a signed rejection receipt explaining exactly why.<br>If the action required human review — there’s a signed escalation receipt.<br>If the decision was challenged after the fact — there’s a signed redress receipt anchored to the original.<br>Every verdict. Every receipt. One continuous evidence chain.<br>You can watch it working right now, live against real infrastructure:<br>Run the proof yourself →
The Foundation Diagnostic<br>I am opening 10 founding-customer slots for the ASE Foundation Diagnostic.<br>Here’s what it is: I review your AI-built or AI-assisted codebase and produce an evidence-backed report showing what your system can and cannot prove. Not what it claims to do — what it can actually demonstrate when a customer, investor, or regulator asks.<br>The report includes:<br>Governance gap analysis
Traceability gaps
Authority and approval gaps
Risky routes, modules, and files
Evidence-backed claim support
What your codebase can prove and what it cannot
Prioritized remediation recommendations
Founding price: $495.<br>After the first 10, the price moves to $1,500.<br>This is not a penetration test. It is not legal advice. It is not a compliance certification. It is a diagnostic — structured, evidence-backed, and delivered in plain English with a developer-facing appendix.<br>The Evidence Guarantee: if I don’t deliver a clear, evidence-backed report within the agreed scope, I refund the fee. No ambiguity.<br>All 10 spots are open.<br>Apply for the Foundation Diagnostic →<br>Or see the full picture first at auditome.com
