The problem

Where the time and money actually go.

Scanners generate duplicates and low-context findings; developers struggle to understand exploit path and remediation, while AppSec becomes a queueing bottleneck.

Who feels it

AppSec engineers, developers, security champions and engineering managers

Trigger to act: Finding backlog is growing, developers ignore scanner output, release gates are noisy, or an AppSec team must scale across repositories.

Outcome & ROI

The result you can model before you sign.

Illustrative, replace with your data
$120,000
per month, illustrative

Illustrative only: 12,000 findings/quarter × 6 minutes removed × $100 loaded hourly cost ÷ 60 = $120,000 quarterly engineering/AppSec capacity. Safety depends on critical recall and test validation.

The outcome, plainly: Correlate SAST/SCA/IaC findings with code context, explain likely reachability, and create review-ready fixes without suppressing real vulnerabilities.

How it works

Inputs in. A cited, review-ready result out. Your expert decides.

A Code-aware agent + deterministic validators. Every material fact is grounded in an allowed source and returned with its identifier, with no invented data.

Model strategy

Claude Sonnet 4.6 or GPT-5.6 Terra, selected on the client’s code/security golden set; Deterministic scanners, policy rules and tests remain authoritative; use a smaller model for labeling only. Read-only tool adapters; Sandboxed execution; Static analysis / test framework.

The human gate

AI-Native, not autonomous. Judgment stays with your people.

The machine does the work; the human’s role narrows to the one thing that matters, judgment. That constraint is what makes it safe to deploy.

Non-negotiable human gate

AppSec/developer owners approve severity, suppression, patch, merge, and exception; true-positive candidates are never silently hidden.

What it will never do
No autonomous suppression or merge
no exploit generation
no claim that generated patch is secure without tests/review
no upload of proprietary code to unapproved endpoints
The scorecard

A scorecard, not a demo. We baseline what breaks in production.

Every deployment ships with an evaluation suite. These are the numbers we baseline before launch and monitor after.

This implementation

Fixed-scope, tuned to your systems and rules, grounded in your data, with the human gate and audit trail built in from day one. A price you own, not a subscription you rent.

✓ Fixed price, not a seat subscription ✓ Grounded in your data & rules ✓ Human approval on consequential actions ✓ Auditable decision trace
Systems & integrations

It plugs into the stack you already run.

No rip-and-replace. Access is scoped to the minimum data necessary, isolated per tenant, and fully logged.

Pricing

Transparent by design. The build price buys the workflow and the proof.

A fixed implementation fee plus a monthly bill that scales with volume and governance. No hidden seats.

Why this is safe to try
01Baseline first. We measure your current numbers before we build anything.
02Fixed scope, fixed price. One process in the pilot. No open-ended engagement.
03Expand only if the scorecard earns it. You see the measured result before committing to production.
04Your people stay in control. The human gate means nothing consequential happens without a human’s approval.
FAQ

Questions serious buyers ask.

Does the AI act on its own?

No. AppSec/developer owners approve severity, suppression, patch, merge, and exception; true-positive candidates are never silently hidden. The system drafts and recommends; a human approves every consequential action. Explicitly excluded: no autonomous suppression or merge; no exploit generation; no claim that a generated patch is secure without tests/review; no upload of proprietary code to unapproved endpoints.

How do you stop it inventing facts?

Every material claim is grounded in an allowed source record and returned with its source identifier. The system separates observed facts, model inference, and missing information, and routes to a human whenever confidence is low, evidence conflicts, or an adverse outcome is possible.

What does it cost to run each month?

A usage bill of roughly $600 to $5,200 per month (50 to 500 repositories or 5,000 to 50,000 code/test tasks per month; CI compute), plus a $3,000 per month managed retainer for evaluation, monitoring and maintenance. Your existing platform licenses are separate and already yours. Exact figures are confirmed during scoping.

Do we need a ChatGPT or Claude subscription?

No consumer ChatGPT or Claude subscription is required for the production workflow. You need an approved API/cloud billing account. Workspace seats are optional for internal prototyping and administrator access.

How is this different from Snyk?

Tools like Snyk, Semgrep, and SonarQube are broad platforms you adapt to. This is a fixed-scope implementation tuned to your systems and rules, grounded in your data, with the human gate and audit trail built in, and a transparent price instead of a seat subscription.

How long until it is live, and how do we prove it works?

We baseline the true-positive precision first, then measure against that baseline. You see the scorecard before expanding scope: the evaluation suite ships with the system, not as an afterthought.
