We had this question come up frequently during our fundraise.

Our customers' risk profile is such that having the model provider also be the source of truth for model performance is objectionable. There's value to having an independent third party that ensures their AI is doing what they intend it to, especially if that software is on-prem.

On the credit point, that's not necessarily what we're after in these deployments. This is a happy alignment of relatively esoteric research that personally excited me and a real business problem around the non-deterministic nature of GenAI. Our customers typically come to us with a need to solve that for one reason or another.
