Independent AI governance ratings & intelligence
In the agent economy,
governance is alpha.
Alpha makes AI-enabled enterprises governable, investable, insurable, and accountable. We give boards, executives, investors, insurers, and public institutions a clear, comparable view of how well organizations govern AI and what can be trusted.
Alpha continuously turns company disclosures, regulatory filings, board actions, policies, control evidence, incidents, and observed outcomes into ratings, benchmarks, diagnostics, alerts, and analytics that update with the facts.
- Independent ratings
- Continuous governance intelligence
- Board-ready evidence
The Alpha system
One standard. Two decision views.
AGS, AGR, and GMI give decision-makers a shared language for AI governance quality and materiality.
AGS
The standard
The Alpha Governance Standard defines what Alpha evaluates: governance structure, evidence quality, accountability, resilience, and disclosure.
