Prove Every AI-Driven Financial Decision
AI influences trading, settlements, and risk. Can you prove control? ByteVerity provides cryptographic evidence for every AI decision—from strategy generation to execution to settlement.
The Regulatory Reality
When regulators ask “Why did this trade execute?” or “What influenced this risk score?”—you need more than logs. You need cryptographic proof of the AI decision chain, the controls that were applied, and the approvals that were granted.
Trading Opacity
AI-assisted trading decisions happen in milliseconds. Can you explain each one to the SEC?
Settlement Risk
AI-driven settlements need governance. When disputes arise, where's the evidence?
Risk Model Drift
AI risk models evolve. How do you prove they stayed within approved parameters?
The Decision Envelope for Finance
Every AI-influenced financial decision is wrapped in a cryptographic attestation—context, policy, controls, and approval chain.
Trading Decision Flow
Strategy Input
AI analyzes market data and generates trading signals
Pre-Trade Gate
Policy evaluation, risk limits, compliance checks
Execution
Trade executes with attestation of all controls passed
Settlement Gate
Post-trade verification, reconciliation attestation

Who Uses ByteVerity in Financial Services
Chief Risk Officer
“I need to prove our AI models stayed within approved risk parameters—not just that they passed a test once.”
CISO
“AI is writing code that touches trading systems. I need visibility and control before it reaches production.”
Head of Internal Audit
“Regulators want evidence of AI governance. I need audit trails that prove control, not just policies that describe it.”
Chief Compliance Officer
“When the SEC asks about our AI trading systems, I need to show them proof—not promises.”
“When regulators asked how we governed our AI trading signals, we had cryptographic proof of every decision. That's not something our competitors could show.”
