Why we built this.
Perathos exists because AI output errors in high-stakes environments are not an edge case. They are a structural property of how large language models work — and there is currently no machine-readable record of when those errors reach decisions.
The same scenario plays out across financial services, healthcare, and legal. An AI system produces a plausible-sounding but factually wrong output. It passes through a human review layer that was not equipped to catch it. It reaches a decision. Sometimes the consequence is a compliance violation. Sometimes a treatment recommendation that contradicts current guidance. Sometimes a contract clause that does not reflect the jurisdiction it purports to cover.
The industry response has been to ask humans to review AI output more carefully — to slow down and double-check. That is not scalable. An analyst processing two hundred AI-assisted research summaries per day cannot independently verify every factual claim in each one. The volume of AI output is now larger than the human capacity to verify it manually.
The correct solution is verification at the machine level. Before an AI response reaches a human or a downstream decision system, it should pass through automated verification that checks mathematical correctness deterministically, cross-examines factual claims against structured knowledge, and produces a reviewable evidence record. That is what Perathos does.
The verification pipeline is built as a drop-in middleware layer — not a product that requires re-architecting your AI stack. The evidence trail exists whether or not you need it today. The day a regulator or a counterparty asks what your AI said and whether it was supported, the answer can be reviewed from the retained bundle and logs.
How we operate
Perathos is operated as a lean, solo-founder venture. Specialist work — security audits, proof-system design, knowledge-graph engineering, legal review, and design — is brought in via consultants who are experts in their respective domains. AI tooling is used as a force multiplier across the codebase, the documentation, and the verification pipeline itself.
This means a smaller core team than the surface area of the product implies, faster iteration, lower overhead, and procurement economics that reflect early-stage software. We say this plainly rather than pretending to be a larger organisation. Enterprises evaluating us deserve to know exactly what they are buying — including the operating model behind it.
What you get in return: direct access to the person making product decisions, no layers of account managers, and an organisation built around the technical and compliance specificity of regulated AI deployment. What you do not get: a 200-person sales floor. We assume that is a feature, not a bug, for the buyers we are built for.

Tamuka Chagonda
Founder · MBA, PMP
Tamuka is the founder of Perathos. His background is in program management — leading complex multi-stakeholder initiatives through delivery — combined with the analytical training of an MBA and the operational discipline of the PMP credential. Based in Canada, he runs Perathos as a lean operation with specialist consultants and AI as force multipliers. The motivation for building Perathos is direct: the gap between how confidently AI systems produce output and how little machine-readable evidence exists for whether that output is true is the single largest unaddressed risk in enterprise AI deployment today. Perathos closes that gap with a verification layer and a signed audit record.

The Verifiable Reality Layer (VRL) Protocol is the open specification that underpins Perathos. It defines the Proof Bundle JSON schema, the attestation methodology, verifier interface contracts, and optional proof structures for privacy-preserving review.
Any organization can implement the VRL Protocol independently. The specification is published on GitHub and licensed under Apache 2.0. We welcome contributions to the standard — especially from practitioners in regulated industries who know where verification requirements are hardest to meet.
