The audit is the system.
Citrate is the substrate that witnesses every action across an organization — cryptographically, bottom-up, on the customer's own hardware. Their auditors see what their operators do; the world sees only what they choose to publish. We sell privacy with auditability, custom-fit onto each customer's on-premise stack — and a path for their idle compute to begin earning.
Every action is cryptographically witnessed and queryable by the auditors the organization names — and only them. Mathematical proof without surrendering the data.
The substrate deploys onto the customer's hardware, behind their firewall, under their IAM. No two installations are identical; each is engineered to the existing topology.
A customer's global facilities can become validating nodes — contributing verifiable inference to the network and earning for compute that was going to be spent anyway.
Three years of runway through mainnet and the priced Series A: the senior engineering bench that retires key-person risk, an external L1 audit, the SOC 2 → CMMC L2 → FedRAMP High compliance stack, the metered-revenue gateway that closes the loop, and the named, signed pilots that prove demand. Seed investors convert at a discount at that Series A, ahead of mainnet in 2027.
