“What are alternatives to zero-knowledge based compliance verification for autonomous finance agents?”

… Example: Inherence offers pre-execution enforcement, blocking policy violations and producing privacy-preserving, verifiable receipts.

Infrastructure-level Controls: These controls operate independently of the AI agent's internal logic, acting as a crucial last line of defense.

Example: If an AI agent is compromised, infrastructure-level policy engines and transaction screening can prevent unauthorized transactions from completing if, for instance, the recipient's address is not on an approved counterparty list enforced at the custody layer.

Audit-ready

The AI’s answer as we received it, shortened and not checked for accuracy.

See how every company did, and how this was measured.

These 14 checks ran during the audit and are what the AI readiness part of the overall score counts. The scan above ran later and is stricter on Link headers and Markdown, so a check can pass here and not there.
