Compliance, mathematically reproducible.
Vanta charges $10–80k to format your evidence. Your CPA charges another $15–50k to read it. We collapse both into a single delivered certification — anchored to a public transparency log, signed by a licensed CPA, by a guaranteed date.
Vanta's moat is trust intermediation — and AI routes around it.
Their "400 integrations" are now a depreciating asset. MCP and agents ingest any system from natural-language docs. Control mapping is a single prompt. Policy templates are commodity output.
What's actually defensible — auditor relationships, buyer-side brand recognition, reliability of continuous monitoring — are trust moats, not technology moats.
So we don't build a better Vanta. We build the platform their auditors run instead — and we collapse the two bills into one outcome.
Every row is a commitment Vanta has already made — to a pricing model, a channel, a data substrate, an investor narrative — that is now a constraint, not an asset.
The deep moat is the evidence substrate.
Vanta's evidence lives in a normalised database. Retrofitting cryptographic anchoring would re-timestamp eight years of history — meaningless. A greenfield build ships it on day one and compounds with every artifact captured.
Today's combined Vanta + auditor spend: $30–80k per Type II, plus ~120 hours of internal team time. We deliver the same outcome at ~80% lower cost because we collapse two payments into one workflow — auditor labor drops from 60+ hours to ~10.
"We deliver a cryptographically auditable SOC 2 Type II, signed by a licensed CPA, by a guaranteed date, for under $15,000 — and any auditor in the world can reproduce our work."
