Insurable autonomy · Las Vegas

Machines you can insure.

We’re building the bond for drones and AI that work on critical infrastructure. Before a bonded machine is switched on, its insurer can state what it’s physically able to do. After any incident, they can prove exactly what it did and whose decision caused it.

01 The problem

You can’t insure a machine you can’t bound.

Drones and AI are starting to inspect power lines, pipelines, bridges and substations. To insure one, an insurer needs two answers: what can this machine do, and what did it do? Today the answers are logs, dashboards and the operator’s word. None of them settle a claim.

Trust our logs.
A bonded machine
Here’s the proof.
02 The bond

Seven layers. One bond.

Not telemetry, not a dashboard, not a compliance report. A bond is what an insurer buys, and every layer we’re building is a part of it.

01 · The envelope

Limits anyone can change.

Today a machine’s limits live in settings that a bug, an update or a person can quietly change.

What we’re building

We’re building a certified envelope of speed, force and airspace that’s sealed into the machine and registered publicly.

02 · The gate

Software limits can be overridden.

A hack, a bad model or a wrong command can still reach the motors.

What we’re building

We’re building a gate that sits between any autonomy and any motor, so an out-of-bounds command physically can’t get through.

03 · Continuous proof

Certified once, trusted for a year.

A machine can drift for months between inspections without anyone knowing.

What we’re building

We’re building checks that run on schedule and without warning, so the machine proves its health for the whole policy period.

04 · The record

Logs that can be lost or rewritten.

Most records live on the machine itself, with gaps nobody can see.

What we’re building

We’re building a signed record that’s copied off the machine as it happens and shows any gap or tampering.

05 · Attribution

Everyone points at everyone else.

After an incident, the operator, the manufacturer and the software vendor all blame each other.

What we’re building

We’re building a record of who was responsible at the instant of each decision, so that question has one answer.

06 · Settlement

Claims that take months.

Experts spend months reconstructing what happened before anyone gets paid.

What we’re building

We’re building the rules that turn the record into a liability split, a settled claim and next year’s premium.

07 · Regulators

The same evidence, rebuilt by hand.

Every regulator asks for its own paperwork, assembled after the fact.

What we’re building

We’re building evidence packages generated from the same record, in the formats aviation, automotive and AI regulators already ask for.

03 Why a bond

Trust between computers isn’t a bond.

Today’s security checks answer one question: is this the software we expected? That’s necessary, and nowhere near enough to underwrite a machine that can hurt someone. We build on those checks and add what an insurer needs: limits that can be priced, a record that settles claims and one answer to who was responsible.

01

Insurers.

Price the risk before the policy starts, and settle claims from the record.

02

Operators.

Lower premiums for machines that prove their limits every day.

03

Manufacturers.

One gate between any autonomy and any motor, from any supplier.

04

Regulators.

Evidence in the formats you already ask for, from the same record.

04 The standard

An open standard for bonded machines.

We’re developing an open standard for how insurers and regulators read a bonded machine, with a conformance program and a mark. A machine that carries the mark can be underwritten the same way, whoever built it.

05 Our home

Proudly building in Las Vegas.

Every world-class hub started somewhere. Silicon Valley was orchards once. It took a few people who decided not to wait for permission.

Why not us.
Why not here.
Why not now.

Who it’s for

Power grids / Pipelines / Bridges & rail / Telecom towers / Water / Anywhere a machine works where it could hurt someone

Bonded before it’s switched on.
