Decision Assurance Infrastructure
Summit Cognitive
§ Solutions — Partners & Integrators

Govern with your stack. Prove with Summit.

Summit is not trying to replace the governance, identity, or ML platforms your customers already run. We publish the standard those platforms can be measured against — and the receipt layer that turns their controls into independently verifiable proof. The specifications are open, CC BY 4.0, and written to be implemented by people who never pay us.

§ 01

The division of labor

Your platform enforces. Summit makes the enforcement provable. The published artifacts define the interface between us — in public, under version control.

The standard

Decision Receipt Spec→

The receipt format itself — structure, deterministic evidence IDs, validation rules, trust model. v1.0, open. Implement it natively and your platform's decisions become verifiable by anyone, anywhere.
The framework

Cognitive Security Framework→

Seven assurance levels, CAL-1 through CAL-7, with assessment criteria and procurement language. The shared vocabulary for what "governed" actually means — usable in your customer conversations today.
The benchmark

AGD-Bench→

The benchmark for governed agentic delivery. Run your platform against it, publish your score, and let the leaderboard make your case.
The certification

Certification Tiers→

Summit Verified, Summit Replayable, Summit Admissible — assurance-level certification your implementation can earn and your customers can cite.
§ 02

Who we partner with

Three partner classes, three integration shapes. In every case, the customer keeps their stack and gains the proof layer.

Partner class 1

Identity platforms

Decision identity through your IdP. Every receipt binds the deciding actor — human or agent — to an identity your platform issued and attested. Your customers' answer to "who decided this?" becomes cryptographic instead of forensic.
Partner class 2

ML & governance platforms

Your platform evaluates, monitors, and gates models. Summit turns each gate decision into a signed, replayable receipt — so your governance verdicts survive audit as evidence, not as dashboard screenshots.
Partner class 3

Primes & systems integrators

You hold the program; we supply the decision-assurance layer and the compliance mappings — 20 NIST 800-53 control implementation statements, ATO evidence artifacts, air-gap-ready replay. A HUBZone small business on your team, with published procurement language your contracting officer can adopt verbatim.
§ 03

How a partnership starts

We move in the same shape every time: a scoped joint pilot against one real customer workflow, with named deliverables.

  1. 01
    Map the integration
    Your platform's enforcement points, mapped to receipt issuance — typically days of engineering, not quarters, against the open spec.
  2. 02
    Run a joint pilot
    One mutual customer, one workflow, ten days. Receipts issued through your stack; findings memo delivered jointly.
  3. 03
    Publish the result
    A benchmark score, a certification tier, or a reference architecture — something public that both sales teams can point at.

Technical due diligence is self-serve: documentation, the API playground, and independent receipt verification are all public.

Bring the stack. We'll bring the proof.

Tell us what your platform enforces and which customer should see it proven first. We respond within two business days with a proposed integration shape and a joint pilot scope.
