Operational control with evidence you can defend.
If AI can access regulated data, call tools, trigger workflows, modify systems, or issue outputs teams treat as decisions, the problem is not just model quality. It is governed execution.
AI systems now read internal data, call tools, change system state, and emit outputs organizations treat as operational decisions. Evidence trails are often thin. Authority is often vague. When scrutiny arrives, everyone becomes a historian.
Control fails when it is written after the fact. Evidence has to be created at the moment action occurs.
For regulated enterprises running AI in connected workflows. We identify control gaps, authority ambiguity, execution constraints, escalation logic, evidence readiness, and audit exposure.
Rapid fixed-fee diagnostic — typical range: $495 to $2,500
For developers and builder teams. Trace runs, replay sessions, inspect tool and model activity, and capture token, latency, and cost telemetry — before you need full runtime governance.

THE OPERATING MODEL
ZDG governs action through GAL, turning AI execution into attributable, constrained, and reviewable operations with evidence preserved at runtime. Every action enters the lifecycle. Every decision is recorded. Every output has a retrievable chain.
ASSESSMENT
A rapid review of your execution-capable AI deployments, agent workflows, and connected tools to identify control gaps, authority ambiguity, and audit exposure.
If you cannot prove control, you do not have control.
Rapid fixed-fee diagnostic · Remote interviews + architecture and workflow review · Typical range: $495 to $2,500
DEVELOPER ENTRY POINT
See the run before you govern the fleet.
For teams building with execution-capable AI. ZDG-FR Developer Edition gives you session tracing, replayable decision timelines, and tool and model visibility from day one — without standing up a full governance stack.
ZDG-FR Developer Edition is standalone in packaging, foundational in architecture, and expandable in commercial design.
No infrastructure required. Runs locally or in your existing environment.
CONTROL PLANE
AI systems now act inside enterprise environments. They connect to tools, access internal data, and trigger downstream workflows. Most organizations have models and applications. What they often lack is a governance layer that makes execution attributable, constrained, and defensible.
Connectivity is not governance.
Connecting a model to tools does not define who is authorized to use them or what they are permitted to do.
Orchestration is not authority.
Routing actions between agents does not establish accountability, escalation logic, or human override.
Access is not control.
Granting access to data or systems does not create a defensible record of what was done and under what constraint.
The ZDG Agent Control Plane™ exists to answer those questions in operational form, through the Governed Action Lifecycle™.
IMPLEMENTATION
Once exposure is identified, institutions move into one of three paths.
Rapid diagnostic for organizations that need to understand their AI governance exposure before committing to a larger engagement.
Rapid fixed-fee diagnostic · Typical range: $495 to $2,500
A control and evidence package for one or more execution-capable AI workflows. Builds the governance foundation for regulated audit and board-level review.
Fixed-fee engagement · Typical range: $5,000 to $25,000
Full deployment of the ZDG Agent Control Plane™ with runtime evidence, GAL integration, kill-switch controls, and ongoing governance operations.

STANDARD
The ZDG Standard defines the operational requirements for execution-capable AI. If a system cannot demonstrate attributable identity, scoped authority, runtime constraints, decision traceability, and retrievable evidence, it is not operating under defensible governance.
The Standard is typically implemented after baseline control posture is established.
Actions and outputs are tagged at execution time with the control information needed to support review, escalation, incident response, and audit: provenance, authority tier, approval state, impact classification, and jurisdictional constraints where applicable.
Baseline recommendation: signed, append-only snapshots to prove what controls fired at the moment of action.
Frameworks tell you what to document. ZDG helps you prove what actually happened.
ABOUT
Systems act. Workflows trigger. Decisions propagate. Zero Day Governance™ exists to install operational control above that authority so institutions can govern execution, not just describe it.
We make autonomy defensible.
We map operational control artifacts directly to framework obligations so review cycles accelerate instead of stall.
INITIATE
We respond within one business day with scope confirmation, timeline, and delivery outline. No system access is required for initial scoping.
Transmission encrypted. Handling rules and retention limits are defined before sensitive artifacts are shared.
