faq
type: FAQPage
main entity: What is the Notarial Layer of the Agent Economy?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Notaries have certified human decisions for 2,000 years. The Notarial Layer is the same primitive for AI agents. When your AI agents make autonomous decisions — approving invoices, accessing patient records, executing trades, sending agent-to-agent emails — Trust Gate stamps each one with a tamper-proof cryptographic signature, creates an admissible record under ESIGN and eIDAS, and certifies the decision was authorized by policy. You can show auditors, regulators, and your board exactly what every agent did, why it was authorized, and which compliance frameworks it satisfied. Don't trust. Notarize. Trust Gate is the reference implementation.
main entity: How does Trust Gate comply with EU AI Act Article 50?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Article 50 takes effect August 2, 2026. It requires traceability of AI decisions. Organizations using Trust Gate are already compliant: every AI agent action is notarized — a tamper-proof receipt proving what happened, why it was authorized, and which policies applied. When the regulator asks 'show me your AI decision trail,' you hand them notarized receipts — not a spreadsheet you built last weekend. Auditors verify any notarization with one click.
main entity: Will Trust Gate slow down our AI agents?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: No. Your users will never notice Trust Gate is there. The full notarization cycle — policy check, cryptographic stamp, evidence anchor — completes in under 120ms. That is invisible to end users and adds zero friction to AI agent workflows. You get court-admissible auditability without sacrificing the speed your business depends on.
main entity: How does Trust Gate govern AI agent spending?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: When your AI agents spend money, Trust Gate ensures every dollar is authorized before it moves. The result: two notarizations per transaction — one from the payment rail proving the money moved, one from Trust Gate proving a human-approved policy authorized it. If an agent tries to exceed its spending limit, Trust Gate blocks the transaction before the payment rail ever sees it. No rogue purchases. No unexplained charges. No 'the AI did it' excuses at the board meeting. Rail-agnostic by design — Stripe, ACH, wire, and future rails.
main entity: Can I try Trust Gate before committing?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Yes — start notarizing AI agent decisions today at zero cost. The Free tier gives you 1,000 production notarizations per month plus unlimited watermarked demo notarizations to prove value to your team. Production notarizations are real evidence artifacts that write to your evidence graph. Demo notarizations let you show your board and compliance team exactly what court-admissible AI governance looks like — before you spend a dollar. No sales call required. Sign up and your first notarization is minted in under 2 minutes.
main entity: Can AI agents purchase Trust Gate autonomously?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Yes — and that is the point. If your procurement agent is evaluating notarial-layer vendors, it can evaluate Trust Gate, run a live demo, compare pricing, and complete the purchase without waiting for a human. Your team saves days of vendor evaluation. Pilot ($500/mo) and Growth ($2,500/mo) tiers are fully agent-procurable. Enterprise ($10,000/mo+) requires human contact for custom compliance scoping. Every purchase is itself notarized — so you always know what your agent bought and why.
main entity: How does outcome-based pricing on Enterprise work?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Enterprise tier ($10,000/month base) adds outcome-based pricing on top of unlimited notarizations: 10-20% of cyber insurance discount captured, $5,000 flat per audit pass (SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / EU AI Act), $250 flat per dispute resolved without litigation, and $500 flat per security questionnaire automated. You pay only when notarization saved you money. Hybrid model: predictable base subscription + value-share upside.
main entity: Which compliance audits will Trust Gate help me pass?
  type: Question
  accepted answer: Answer
    text: Trust Gate produces the notarized evidence auditors actually ask for — not the evidence you wish you had. Current coverage: NIST AI RMF (full control mapping), EU AI Act Article 50 (decision traceability by the August 2026 deadline), SOC 2 Type II (audit-ready evidence trails), CMMC 2.0 (federal contractor AI governance), HIPAA (PHI access governance for healthcare AI), and FedRAMP-Moderate. Each notarization is admissible under ESIGN and eIDAS.
