Governance & Alignment Charter.
We are not governed by a board of directors, but by a set of inviolable principles. This charter codifies the constraints under which we operate.
Non-Deployment
We retain the absolute right to withhold model weights if safety benchmarks are not met, regardless of commercial pressure or investor timeline.
Cap Table Independence
Investment does not purchase governance. Voting rights are decoupled from economic rights to prevent profit-maximizing incentives from overriding safety.
Reverse-Disclosure
Prospective partners must disclose the ultimate beneficial origin of funds. We do not accept opaque capital.

Legal Mechanisms
Principles are insufficient without enforcement. We embed these checks directly into our corporate bylaws and cap table structure to ensure safety is not optional.
The founding team retains majority voting control aimed specifically at vetoing unsafe launches.
Profit incentives are capped at a fixed multiple. Excess value is redirected to the non-profit research arm or public benefit.
A percentage of compute resources must be dedicated to alignment research, regardless of current product revenue.
Alignment Filter
We believe capital is a vector of influence. We maintain a public log of "Incompatibility Vectors"—types of capital and partnerships we automatically reject to preserve mission integrity.
A Living Document
This charter is not marketing material. It is the operating system of our company, referenced in legal agreements with employees and investors alike.
