Governability infrastructure for the autonomous economy

Make the autonomous economy
governable, and therefore priceable.

Material decisions are moving from people to machines, and the accountability they rest on is moving from people to architecture. Arkaya makes governability observable, so what machines now decide can be priced: by insurers first, then by all capital.

What Arkaya does

Arkaya turns AI liability from a decline into a priced class, underwritten continuously against governability, the live evidence that control holds, not a periodic questionnaire.

It runs on GET, the open governance-evidence schema, so one signal prices the cover and the capital behind it.

From governance evidence to enterprise value. Arkaya holds the proof layer. Governance evidence Arkaya · the proof layer Calibration evidence read into rating Underwriting & pricing the desk prices Cost of capital cover · credit · terms Enterprise value the price of the whole

GET is the open schema. Continuous covenant underwriting is the product that runs on it. The schema enables the product; the product is not a second, competing offer.

The test

The claim is held as a hypothesis with its failure condition stated: an evidenced counterparty obtains measurably better terms than an otherwise identical unevidenced one.

If the evidence does not move the terms, the thesis fails on its own stated ground. The experiment is a carrier pilot, and the invitation is open.

Run the experiment

Governance is often priced only after the event, because the decision trail cannot be reconstructed before it. Arkaya makes it reconstructable.

The Third Domain of Risk

Hazard found its home at Edward Lloyd's coffee house in
1688, 22 years after the Great Fire of London.
Credit at Moody's in 1909, in the wake of the Panic of 1907. Governance is now the third domain of risk.

Arkaya is building the evidence standard capital markets need to price it at the speed of agentic AI.
Governance becomes evidence a counterparty can underwrite against, not an assertion they price as risk.

Arkaya is meta-governance, not AI governance.

AI governance platforms run one discipline at human-generated audit cadence.

Arkaya runs every governance discipline at the cadence the real world now sets.

AI governance is what companies do; governability is what they can prove.

The difference

GRC and AI-governance platforms record your compliance. The schema makes it evidence a counterparty can price.

The GRC and AI-governance cohort automates framework mapping, continuous monitoring and audit-ready reporting, then publishes the result as your own trust record. That evidence is scoped to your audit, expressed in each vendor's proprietary controls and scores, and held inside the platform that produced it.

None of them supplies the schema that makes governance evidence comparable, portable and adjudicable across parties. Comparable by conformance to one shared schema, not a proprietary score. Portable across engines, insurers and capital events without re-basing. Adjudicable when parties dispute what it shows, resolved against the schema, not against opinion. Arkaya stewards the schema; it is not the adjudicator.

Priced after the event

Automated decisions have already crystallised nine and ten figure losses, reconstructed only after the event. The trail those reconstructions assembled too late is the trail Arkaya produces continuously.

Robodebt averaged annual income across fortnightly periods and raised welfare debts later ruled unlawful. A$1.8bn was settled in 2020, a further A$475m (about US$309m) in 2025. A royal commission found the responsible department held legal advice warning of unlawfulness in 2018 and proceeded. The decision trail surfaced years after the loss. In the schema: the unlawful-calculation control carries an open exception from the moment that advice lands, readable by a counterparty years before settlement.

inventory write-down, Zillow Offers

Algorithmic home-buying priced off the Zestimate model, which overpaid as the 2021 market turned. A $304m write-down in Q3 2021, a further $240m to $265m guided for Q4, the unit closed and about 2,000 staff cut, a quarter of the workforce. The model outputs existed internally. Continuous, externally verifiable evidence of the risk did not. In the schema: the model-override governance field shows the Zestimate's widening error as a populated exception in Q3, not after the write-down.

insurance recovered against value destroyed, M&S

The April 2025 cyber incident, attributed to Scattered Spider operating through the TCS-run helpdesk, sat inside a multi-year outsourcing arrangement renewed on cost. Roughly £100m of insurance responded against approximately £2.4bn of enterprise value destroyed. In the schema: the third-party access-control obligation carries an open exception at the helpdesk boundary, readable by an underwriter at renewal, not reconstructed at claim.

The founders

David J McKibbin & Simon Hudson

Arkaya's thesis is witnessed, not constructed. David held the FCA Chief Executive controlled function (SMF1) and has met the five capital moments from every side of the table: underwriting, broking on the sell-side, and corporate on the buy-side.

After 9/11 he underwrote an AIG property book co-underwritten 50:50 with Berkshire Hathaway's National Indemnity, from inside two diametrically opposed governance models, both AAA-rated at the time. One later required a government rescue. The other did not.

David co-founded Arkaya with Simon Hudson, who is based in the United States.
