The Open-Source AI Governance Stack is an AffixIO technical paper. Six open components, zero black boxes on the governance path.
Governance built on proprietary SaaS is hard to audit and harder to defend in procurement. We map AffixIO's stack: constraint language proofs, proving backend verification, the client interface layer, a federated retrieval component, a content extraction component, and an application framework, and why each sits on the critical path.

Frequently asked questions
Why open source for governance?
Regulators and enterprise security teams need to inspect the code that produces compliance evidence.
Can we self-host the full stack?
Yes. All governance-critical components run on your infrastructure with published verification keys.
What stays proprietary?
Optional managed anchoring and enterprise support; the proof pipeline itself is open.
