Eight things you get without asking, without configuring, and without paying anyone else.
Your software refuses to start if its own files have been changed since install. The next request lands on a fresh copy.
Every install confirms itself genuine before it runs — on your own hardware, with no phone-home.
Records of what your install does are yours, not ours. Auditors verify them with a public verifier you can hand them.
Updates check themselves on arrival. Anything that fails the check is dropped before it reaches your install.
Every Validiti product labels every claim the same way. Learn the labels once; they mean the same thing across the catalog.
| Label | What it means |
|---|---|
| verified | The claim is grounded in a known signed source you can re-check yourself. |
| partial | Some of the claim is grounded; the rest is inferred. The label tells you which. |
| inferred | Reasoned from other evidence, not directly stated by any source. |
| missing | No grounding source is on file. Don't act on it without verifying first. |
| expired | The source has changed since the claim. Re-verify before relying on it. |
| human | A real person produced this. Used by bot-defense surfaces like ShiftCAPTCHA. |
| bot | An automated agent produced this. Same surfaces as human. |
| replay | A previously-seen request, served from the signed cache (not re-derived). |
Every action across every product, in one place, in order. One feed instead of seven. Stays on your hardware.
VSS holds more data in less space, and notices if anything has changed when you read it back.
Every Validiti product that touches AI attaches a small signed envelope to its output, naming who produced it, on whose behalf, under what policy, and when. Anyone can verify it with math. Free, forever, all three categories — Validiti Mark. See Mark →
Storage buyers arrive with one instinct: a byte is a byte, same on every system. That's true on raw throughput — and it's wrong on what each byte carries.
Other systems store the byte. VSS stores the byte and finishes six other jobs on it before it lands.
Other systems return the byte. VSS returns the byte already verified, already labeled, already current.
That's the unit-economics claim. Same disk. More work per write. Less work per read. The $50–$200 per endpoint per month other vendors charge for these capabilities, in five separate products — we built into the byte itself.
Nothing on this page is a brochure claim. Each one is something you check, with a public verifier we publish.
Each row below is a separate product line elsewhere — license fees you'd pay seven vendors. The licenses are the visible cost. The operation around them — staff, hosting, integration, audit, vendor management — is the cost nobody quotes you up front.
What you'd pay seven separate vendors before anyone touches a keyboard to install them.
| Validiti includes | Industry equivalent | Typical pricing |
|---|---|---|
| If anyone touched it, it won't run | CrowdStrike Falcon · SentinelOne · Wazuh | $60–$185 / endpoint / yr |
| Prove the install came from us | Sigstore · DigiCert code signing | $300–$2,000 / cert / yr |
| Every action on the record | DataDog audit logs · Splunk | $0.10–$2.30 / GB ingested |
| Updates you didn't authorize won't install | JFrog Artifactory · Anchore | $30K–$250K / yr (enterprise) |
| Same labels for verified, partial, missing | No direct equivalent — usually built in-house | $300K–$900K to build |
| One feed, every product on your floor | Splunk SIEM · Sumo Logic | $150K–$500K / yr (mid-market) |
| Hold more, prove every byte | Loki · VictoriaMetrics + custom | $30K–$100K / yr (infra) |
Seven products from seven vendors means seven things to install, scale, tune, page on, audit, and renew. The licenses are the foothills; this is the mountain.
| Cost layer | Why you can't skip it | Mid-market range (~1,000 endpoints) |
|---|---|---|
| 3–5 security & DevOps engineers (incl. benefits) | Someone has to install agents, tune detections, manage upgrades, page on alerts | $850K–$1.25M / yr |
| Servers, storage, network to host the stack | Seven products means seven places to deploy, scale, and back up | $80K–$300K / yr |
| Integration engineering between separate tools | Every tool speaks its own dialect; gluing them together never ends | $200K–$500K / yr |
| SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / PCI audit cycles | Each tool's evidence has to roll up into one audit-ready story | $100K–$400K / yr |
| Threat intel feeds, vuln mgmt, case & ticketing tools | The seven products in Layer 1 don't replace the supporting cast around them | $110K–$375K / yr |
| License management & enterprise vendor support | Renewals, contracts, support tiers, true-ups across multiple vendors | $100K–$400K / yr |
| Hardware refresh + agent rollout cycles | Endpoints turn over; agents need to be reinstalled at scale | $50K–$200K / yr |
Seven fabrics of society where the substrate underneath isn't the technology, the talent, or the policy — it's the record-keeping. Each pair below is an internal working exploration: one page on what changes when the substrate catches up, and a companion on the practices and reach that open once it does.
When every measurement, draft, and review is signed at capture, the replication crisis stops being a process problem and becomes a math layer over the experiment itself.
When agreements, transactions, and shipments are signed at execution, smart contracts and global commerce stop being credibility arguments and become arithmetic.
When every result, prescription, and visit is signed at the moment of care, continuity becomes the default and the "if only the records would let us" answer to every reform conversation falls away.
When every photo, video, audio clip, and document is signed at capture on the device that captured it, real becomes a property of the artifact and the deepfake era loses its substrate.
When contracts, filings, evidence chains, and government records are signed at creation, law gets its actual job back — deciding conduct instead of authenticating paperwork.
When every electron, molecule, and emission is signed at the meter, carbon accounting becomes a math layer over physical reality and the policy work that's been blocked for thirty years can finally happen.
When every project, demonstration, and assessment is signed at the moment of completion, the credential becomes a chain of specific evidence and the learner owns the canonical record of what they can do.
These are internal working drafts, written for direct sharing. They aren't indexed, aren't part of the catalog, and aren't promises — they're explorations of what the substrate makes possible across the parts of life that today rely on record-keeping nobody trusts.
Two roadmap items in flight. Both ride the same envelope and the same network Mark · Agent established today.
Same envelope, same network, same forever-free posture. The person carries their own authorizations; the device proves what it is and what state it’s in. Both ship free when they arrive. Identity should never be paywalled — not for AI, not for people, not for the devices people use.
And Mark v1.1 adds selective disclosure: present a subset of an envelope’s fields and prove the omitted fields existed in the signed original. “Prove I’m over 21 without revealing my birthdate” becomes a math claim.
Where tomorrow lives.
