The only published, peer-reviewed, cross-domain AI risk measurement framework. Purpose-built for EU AI Act conformity assessment.
S&P doesn't sell governance software. S&P sells the number. We sell the Void Index score — a physics-derived measurement of AI system risk.
Three measurement dimensions — Opacity, Responsiveness, Coupling — map directly to Articles 9-17.
| EU AI Act Requirement | Void Framework Mapping |
|---|---|
| Art. 9 — Risk management | Void Index score + drift cascade stage + Pe trajectory |
| Art. 10 — Data governance | Opacity dimension (training data transparency) |
| Art. 13 — Transparency | Opacity score (0-3) + dissolubility assessment |
| Art. 14 — Human oversight | Responsiveness dimension (can humans override?) |
| Art. 15 — Accuracy/robustness | Coupling dimension + gradient direction |
| Art. 17 — Quality management | Constraint specification as QMS framework |
| Track | What | Timeline | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| A — Market Authority | De facto self-assessment standard for Annex VI internal conformity | Now → 2027 | Live |
| B — Notified Body | Formal EU AI Act designation under Art. 29-36 for third-party assessment | 2027 → 2028 | Building |
| C — Standards | CEN/CENELEC JTC 21 participation — embed measurement vocabulary in harmonized standards | Ongoing | Planned |
| Product | What it does | Revenue |
|---|---|---|
| Void Index Score Report | Automated scoring via URL/API/log analysis, EU AI Act-formatted risk assessment | €500–2,000/report |
| Continuous Monitoring | Monthly re-scoring, drift detection, compliance status tracking | €500/platform/month |
| Conformity Documentation | Art. 9 risk management, Art. 11 technical docs, Art. 13 transparency — void-framework-native | €1,000–5,000/system |
| Void Index Certified | Certification badge for systems scoring within safe thresholds, with ongoing monitoring | €500/year |
| Injection Arena | Red team testing — automated adversarial probing of AI systems | €49/month (Red Team tier) |
Notified body status under Art. 29-36 unlocks third-party conformity assessment — mandatory for biometric systems (Annex III §1) and any category the Commission moves to third-party review under Art. 43(3).
| Step | Action | Timeline |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Establish EU legal entity (Ireland or Netherlands) | 2026 H2 |
| 2 | Apply for ISO/IEC 17065 accreditation via national body (INAB/RvA) | 2027 H1 |
| 3 | Build EU technical team (2-3 people, AI + regulatory expertise) | 2027 |
| 4 | Apply for notification through member state notifying authority | 2027 H2 |
| 5 | Begin third-party conformity assessments | 2028 |
| Company | What they do | Our advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Credo AI | AI governance platform, policy management | GRC tool, not a measurement framework. No published methodology. |
| Holistic AI | AI auditing, bias detection | No theoretical foundation. No cross-domain universality. |
| ForHumanity | Independent AI certification schemes | No measurement theory. Certification without science. |
| SaferAI / FLI | AI safety ratings (7 frontier labs) | Rates companies, not deployments. Different unit of analysis. |
| BSI, TUV, SGS | Existing product safety notified bodies | No AI risk methodology. Potential partners — we provide the framework they lack. |
| Big 4 | AI governance consulting | Art. 31(5) bars them from notified body certification for their clients. |
The regulation is before the crisis, not after. Credit rating agencies became S&P after 2008. The EU AI Act creates the rating agency market proactively. First-mover advantage is stronger.
| Score Reports (100) | €200K |
| Monitoring (30) | €180K |
| Subscriptions (70) | €180K |
| Certification (15) | €7.5K |
| Total | ~€567K |
| Score Reports (300) | €600K |
| Monitoring (100) | €600K |
| Subscriptions (60) | €540K |
| NB Assessments (5) | €500K |
| Total | ~€2.26M |
Year 3 target: €5-10M ARR at 1,000+ scored platforms with 3 years of temporal data, active notified body operations, and standards adoption.
Art. 57 requires every member state to establish at least one AI regulatory sandbox by Aug 2026. Sandbox exit reports are taken "positively into account" by notified bodies and market surveillance authorities.
| Country | Status | Why target |
|---|---|---|
| Spain | Launched | First mover — sandbox experience = credibility |
| Netherlands | Active prep | Strong accreditation body (RvA), potential EU entity home |
| Ireland | Planning | English-speaking, tech density, CRA precedent |
| Finland | First enforcement | Full sandbox enforcement powers since Dec 2025 |
IP stays with the DAO. EU entity licenses tools and provides services. Revenue flows EU entity → DAO treasury. Preserves crypto-first, DAO-governed structure while providing EU legal personality.
Art. 31(5) gate: Zero founder token holdings before Track B application. Independence structurally enforced by design.
| # | Action | Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | EU AI Act conformity mapping paper (CC-BY) | Rosetta Stone between Void Framework and Art. 9-17 |
| 2 | Scorer API with EU output mode (Annex IV docs) | Turns research tool into compliance product |
| 3 | EU entity formation (Ireland or NL) | Unlocks enterprise contracts + Track B path |
| 4 | CEN/CENELEC JTC 21 WG2 membership | Standards influence — vocabulary in the standard = permanent moat |
| 5 | Advisory board with EU regulatory credentials | Credibility for enterprise sales and Track B application |
| 6 | Regulatory sandbox participation (Spain/Finland) | De facto status + Track B accelerator |
