What is elan1 Govern?

elan1 Govern is AI governance that decides before an agent's tool call runs: allow, ask a named person or refuse. Your signed rulebook runs first, anything not clearly allowed is refused, and every outcome, refusals included, leaves a signed, hash-chained receipt that an auditor can verify offline with one command.

The challenge

Most AI tools watch. Few stop anything.

Tracing and dashboards tell you what an agent did. By then the payment has gone. The moment that matters is the write, and something has to stand in front of it.

  • 01

    Watching is not governing.

    A trace cannot prevent an incident.
  • 02

    The actor narrates itself.

    A record inside the agent's own product is self-attestation.
  • 03

    No one can stop it.

    60% of enterprises cannot stop a misbehaving agent.

How it works

Ask. Check. Approve. Act. Record.

  1. 01

    Ask.

    The agent's tool call comes to Govern first.
  2. 02

    Check.

    Your signed rulebook runs. Anything not clearly allowed is refused, and an error refuses.
  3. 03

    Approve.

    Risky actions wait for a named person. If nobody answers in 24 hours, the action is refused.
  4. 04

    Act.

    Only the allowed action runs. On the governed route, the agent never holds the credentials.
  5. 05

    Record.

    A signed, hash-chained receipt for every outcome, refusals included.

Take a look inside.

Rules your finance head can read.

  • One signed rulebook per agent, versioned
  • Rules match risk tags such as moves_money
  • Test a change on past actions first

Questions

elan1 Govern, answered plainly.

AI agent governance decides whether an agent's action may run before it runs, rather than watching it afterwards. In elan1 Govern, each tool call is checked against your signed rulebook and gets one of three outcomes: allow, ask a named person or refuse. Anything not clearly allowed is refused, and every outcome leaves a signed receipt.

Monitoring watches after the fact. Govern stands in front of the action. Keep the monitoring. Add the gate.

Saying no takes the same checks, and leaves the same receipt, as saying yes. Pricing it removes our reason to prefer the yes.

Yes. Export the pack and run one command offline. Nothing phones home.

Yes. With elan1 Govern, the agent's tool call comes to Govern first, and only the allowed action runs. Risky actions wait for a named person, and if nobody answers in 24 hours, the action is refused. An error refuses too. On the governed route, the agent never holds the credentials, and typing STOP pauses every agent.

You can build an agent. The hard part is around it: rules that refuse by default, approvals that expire, credentials the agent never holds, and receipts your auditor verifies without trusting you. That part is the product.

Start with one process.

Bring one agent and one rule. We'll show you the receipt.
