  • Runtime governance matches how autonomous agents actually fail
  • Covers build time and runtime rather than one stage
  • Recognised in an emerging category with few credible vendors
Cons
  • Enterprise-only pricing (reportedly around $50,000/year) puts it out of reach for smaller organizations
