For CTOs and founders
What an unanswered questionnaire costs, what a pilot involves, and what has to be true for this to be worth your time.
The cost you are already paying.
You shipped an agent because it made the product better. The invoice arrived from a direction you did not budget for: the security review of every enterprise deal you are trying to close. The questionnaire has a new section, the answers are written by your engineers instead of shipping, and the deal sits still while that happens. That delay is the cost, and it repeats per deal.
What a pilot is.
Two weeks. One agent, pointed at ShieldAgent instead of at its tools, running in Shadow Mode so nothing is blocked and nothing changes for your users. At the end you have the call log, the policy set we would have enforced, and the list of calls that would have been stopped. That list is the artefact: it is either the answer to your customer’s question or the evidence you did not need us.
What has to be true for this to be worth it.
- You have at least one agent in production that touches customer data or internal systems.
- Someone outside your team has already asked what that agent is allowed to do.
- An engineer can repoint one agent’s tool endpoint in an afternoon.
If those three are not true yet, a pilot will waste your time and ours. We would rather you came back when they are.
What we are not.
We are not an observability dashboard — those tell you what happened. We are not a content filter for chat. We are not a certification body. And today we are SaaS only: if your requirement is that this runs inside your own infrastructure, we are not the right answer yet.
Start with a pilot
Two weeks, in Shadow Mode, against your own agents. At the end you get the call log, the policy set we would have enforced, and the list of calls that would have been blocked. If that list comes back empty, that is a useful answer too.
