Question 1

What is Invistiq?

Accepted Answer

Invistiq is the audit-grade evidence layer for AI agent decisions. The platform captures every meaningful AI agent event (model calls, tool calls, sub-agent delegations, outputs, human overrides), signs each event cryptographically at write time, chains them into a per-organization Merkle log, and persists to AWS S3 Object Lock with retention up to 10 years. Compliance evidence packs export in one click, mapped to Texas TRAIGA, NYC Local Law 144, NIST AI RMF, Colorado AI Act SB 26-189, ISO 42001, SOC 2 CC7.2, HIPAA, FINRA Rule 17a-4, GDPR Article 30, and EU AI Act Article 12.

Question 2

How is Invistiq different from LangSmith, Datadog LLM Observability, or Braintrust?

Accepted Answer

LangSmith, Datadog LLM Observability, and Braintrust are developer observability tools focused on performance and debugging. They capture traces but provide no cryptographic guarantees, no tamper-evidence, and no regulatory mapping. Invistiq is a different category: an AI-native, third-party-verifiable evidence layer specifically designed for regulatory compliance. Engineers can use LangSmith for development debugging AND Invistiq for compliance evidence at the same time. They are complementary, not substitutes.

Question 3

How does Invistiq compare to Vanta or Drata?

Accepted Answer

Vanta and Drata are SaaS compliance automation platforms. Both shipped ISO 42001 modules in 2026. Invistiq is the AI-native data layer that feeds AI-specific evidence into Vanta and Drata dashboards as part of their broader SOC 2 and ISO 42001 audits. The relationship is a partnership, not competition. Vanta and Drata cover infrastructure and process controls. Invistiq covers the AI agent decision events specifically.

Question 4

When does the Colorado AI Act enforce?

Accepted Answer

Colorado SB 26-189 (the successor to the federally-stayed SB 24-205) is effective January 1, 2027. The statute is in flux. The prior bill, SB 24-205, was stayed by a federal magistrate in April 2026. SB 26-189 passed in May 2026. Verify final enforcement details against leg.colorado.gov. The NIST AI RMF or ISO/IEC 42001 affirmative defense carries over from the prior bill. Invistiq compliance mapping covers Colorado SB 26-189 as part of the Compliance Starter and Compliance Pro tiers.

Question 5

What does Invistiq cost?

Accepted Answer

Free up to 25,000 events per month with 14-day retention. Compliance Starter from $18,000 per year (one compliance framework of choice). Compliance Pro from $36,000 per year (every framework pack). Enterprise from $75,000 per year with custom retention up to 10 years, EU data residency, HIPAA BAA, SSO, and SOC 2 Type II targeted. Pricing is indicative and finalizes at the end of the pilot.
