When Something Goes Wrong, Can You Answer These Questions?
Regulators, auditors, and executives don't ask what your AI knows now. They ask what it knew last Tuesday when it gave the wrong advice.
“What sources did the AI retrieve?”
Ghost Knowledge — outdated drafts, deprecated policies, toxic data that humans can see but should never reach customers.
“Which prompt version was active?”
Prompts change directly in runtime platforms with no version control, approval gates, or audit trail.
“Who approved it and was quality measured?”
Thumbs up/down is not auditable evidence. Without calibrated evaluation, quality claims are indefensible.
The Toxic Data Your AI Treats as Truth
Most organizations have far more operational knowledge than they think — and a large portion is toxic. Outdated pricing, draft policies, deprecated procedures, cached PDFs from years ago remain discoverable.
When AI retrieves this content, it presents it with confidence and authority. It has no way to know whether something is a draft, obsolete, or context-dependent — unless your organization enforces that distinction.
Human Visible
Drafts, archives, work-in-progress — accessible for collaboration
AI Authorized
Only verified, approved content reaches your AI agents
Why Now? AI Is Scaling Faster Than Governance.
EU AI Act (August 2026)
Mandates record-keeping and human oversight for high-risk systems. Penalties up to 3% of global turnover for deployers.
Swiss FINMA Guidance
FINMA requires documented governance, risk controls, and human oversight for AI systems in financial services. Swiss data residency is a baseline requirement.
Scaling Without Governance Fails
Gartner predicts 30% of GenAI projects will be abandoned after proof of concept due to poor data quality and inadequate risk controls. Governance rescues failing projects.
Built for Regulatory Compliance
Astervox capabilities map directly to control requirements in major regulatory frameworks. Comprehensive compliance documentation available.

Six Core Capabilities for Governable AI
Astervox is the governance platform that sits between your knowledge sources and AI platforms — providing an independent control layer that audits the vendors, not competes with them.
Dual-State Knowledge Control
Separate human visibility from AI authorization. Drafts and archives remain accessible to humans but blocked from AI retrieval until verified.
Eliminate Ghost Knowledge from AI outputs
Point-in-Time Evidence
Preserve point-in-time state of all AI-relevant assets. Reconstruct exactly what knowledge and which prompt version produced any output.
Answer "what did the AI know last Tuesday?"
Automatic Re-Approval
Content changes automatically create new versions, reset approval status, and force re-evaluation before deployment.
Changes cannot bypass governance
Calibrated Human Evaluation
Reviewers scored for consistency against version-locked Gold Standards. Evaluator Reliability Index (ERI) ensures defensible quality assessments.
Measurable, repeatable, audit-ready quality
Cross-Platform Governance
Single governance policy layer across Cognigy, Salesforce, NICE, Genesys. Enforce rules everywhere, not just where convenient.
One control plane for all AI agents
Drift Detection & Remediation
Monitor for unauthorized changes to prompts and configurations. Auto-alert on drift, force re-evaluation or auto-revert.

Why Astervox? The Independent Auditor.
Platform vendors build and run AI agents. Astervox adds the independent governance layer that audits the vendors — we don't compete with them. Regulators require segregation of duties.
Metadata-Only Architecture
Our governance layer scans metadata without ingesting sensitive content. Bypass InfoSec objections that stall competitors requiring full data access.
Cross-Platform Reality
Enterprises run Salesforce for Service, SharePoint for Policy, Cognigy for Bots. Governance fails at the seams. We close the gaps.
Immutable Audit Trail
Every governance decision — approvals, rejections, overrides, drift events — is recorded immutably. Complete evidence for regulators, auditors, and incident reconstruction.
