How we sell

Three tiers. All by inquiry.

We sell only to enterprises with a documented procurement process. The tier shapes the relationship, not the SKU. Pricing on every tier is a function of deployment topology, agent fleet size, retention requirements, and Federation participation.

2027 · Enterprise GA
Enterprise
By inquiry

For banks and large regulated institutions buying after general availability. Reference architectures, standard MSA, named customer success, and the full Federation Network membership.

  • All seven platform components, production-licensed
  • SaaS in your VPC, or single-tenant on-premises
  • Named technical account manager
  • Standard enterprise MSA, DPA, BAA where applicable
  • Federation Network membership (bank channel)
  • SOC 2 Type II report (post Q3 2026)
  • 24×7 support with regional response SLAs
Sovereign · On-premises
Custom Sovereign
By inquiry

For institutions with air-gap, sovereignty, or regulator-mandated isolation requirements. Fully customer-operated deployment with sealed update channels and contractual data-residency guarantees.

  • Fully on-premises or air-gapped deployment
  • Customer-managed keys end to end
  • Sealed update channel with offline signature verification
  • Optional Federation participation via one-way export
  • Custom data-residency and retention contracts
  • Joint engineering on regulator-specific requirements
  • Long-term-support release line
Always included

What you get on every tier.

There is one BladeRun platform. We do not gate detection coverage, redaction classes, or Federation rule channels behind a higher tier. The same seven components ship in every deployment.

01 · Gateway

Reverse proxy in your AI call path

Every prompt and response inspected. Every MCP endpoint verified. Under 15ms. NPI, PCI, and PII redaction with deterministic per-session tokenization.

02 · Sentinel SDK

In-process agent runtime

Tool-call inspection, identity attestation, and policy enforcement inside the agent.

03 · BladeRun.js

Page tag on customer-facing surfaces

Detects agents arriving in the browser, accepts attestation tokens from registered shopping agents, and scores synthetic abuse.

04 · Overseer AI

Behavioral baseline at fleet scale

Per-agent behavioral baselines and drift detection across the entire agent fleet.

05 · Kill Switch

Per-agent and fleet-wide containment

One-call quarantine of a single agent or the entire class. Reversible. Audited.

06 · Time Machine

Immutable, signed record of every action

Prompt, tool call, sub-agent spawn, response, and policy decision written to your S3 bucket under your KMS keys.

07 · Federation Network

Cross-bank threat signal network

One-way signal hashes, k-anonymity, double-blind membership. Privacy-preserving.

SOC 2 Type II
Audit in scope; Type I report available now under NDA. Type II report target Q3 2026.

The buying motion

How banks actually buy this.

VRA, ARB, Legal, InfoSec, Compliance, Procurement. We know the order, the artifacts, the timelines, and the friction points. The design partner program is engineered around that workflow, not against it.

Stage 01 · 60 to 90 days

Vendor Risk Assessment

Completed VRA questionnaire, SOC 2 Type II, penetration test results, data-flow diagrams, subprocessor list, and incident response procedures. We arrive with the artifacts pre-formatted.

Stage 02 · 30 to 60 days

Architecture Review Board

Reference architecture, deployment diagrams, network topology, and identity integration patterns. Documentation pre-formatted for your ARB template, with the founders on the call.

Stage 03 · 30 to 45 days

Legal & privacy review

MSA, DPA, BAA where applicable. The Federation Network privacy contract is reviewed separately and gated to a different signoff path so the platform contract is not blocked.

Stage 04 · 30 to 60 days

Pilot in one workflow

Gateway in shadow mode for week one. Enforcement enabled with SOC sign-off. Reversible by routing rule. Full Time Machine evidence from day one. Pricing is anchored after the pilot.

Pricing FAQ

What banks ask before procurement.

Do you publish prices?
No. Every BladeRun deployment is sized against deployment topology (SaaS in VPC vs on-premises vs air-gapped), agent fleet size, retention requirements, and Federation participation. Tier 1 banks do not buy from a price list, and we do not pretend to sell from one. Pricing is shared in writing after the technical session and before legal review.
Why a design partner program first?
Two reasons. First, the AI agent attack surface is moving faster than any single vendor's roadmap. Three to five Tier 1 banks at the table during 2026 ensures the platform ships against real production constraints, not whitepaper threats. Second, the founding Federation seats are the highest-leverage product surface BladeRun will ever ship. The institutions in the 2026 cohort define the rule channels and signal taxonomy that every later member inherits.
What does the design partner program cost?
Design partner pricing is held below 2027 enterprise GA pricing, contractually, for the duration of the partnership. The exact number is set against deployment topology and Federation contribution. Design partners get founder access, roadmap input, and the founding Federation seat at no additional charge. Those are inherent to the program, not line items.
Is on-premises priced differently from SaaS?
Yes. On-premises deployments carry additional engineering, sealed update channel, and long-term support obligations that are reflected in pricing. SaaS-in-VPC and single-tenant on-premises are common starting points for banks; air-gapped deployments are quoted separately under the Custom Sovereign tier and typically include a joint engineering allocation.
Is the Federation Network priced separately?
Federation membership is included on every tier. Contribution is opt-in. The platform works fully without it. Members who contribute one-way signal hashes receive the full bank rule channel; non-contributors receive the curated subset. The privacy contract for Federation participation is reviewed separately so the platform contract is not gated by Federation legal review.
Can we run a paid proof of concept before procurement closes?
Yes. The standard pilot is 30 to 60 days, scoped to one workflow, and runs in shadow mode for the first week. The pilot output, Time Machine evidence, behavioral baselines, classifier verdicts, is yours regardless of whether you proceed. Pilot terms are a short addendum to a mutual NDA and do not require a full MSA in place.
