Governance that pays you back.
Governance is not overhead. It is a dividend.
You have been told that adding governance costs you speed and money. When governance lives inside the agent, that is true; the rules ride along in every prompt and the model pays for them on every call. GaaS moves governance outside the agent, and that flips the math: it hands back context and tokens you were spending to keep the agent in line.
Where the dividend comes from.
The rules leave the prompt
Your policies live in GaaS, not pasted into every system prompt. The context window they used to occupy goes back to the actual task.
Bad actions never run
GaaS blocks a wrong action before it executes, so you stop paying tokens for the retry, the apology, and the cleanup that used to follow it.
The model carries less
The agent no longer reasons about compliance on every call; prompts get lighter, faster, and cheaper, and the model's attention stays on the work.
Guardrails in the prompt vs. GaaS.
Figures published by GaaS on gaas.is; the pricing calculator models your own.
| Per governance cycle | Guardrails in the prompt | GaaS |
|---|---|---|
| Tokens spent governing | 23,000 to 65,000 | 200 to 500 |
| Context window reclaimed | None | 30 to 60% |
| Real-world context on the decision | None | 27 live connectors |
| At 500,000 governed actions a month | ~$12,500 in self-governed tokens | ~7.5 billion tokens returned |
The last row is GaaS's own modeled example; your figures depend on volume, and the calculator computes them.
The governance you were told is a tax is a dividend. Take the rules out of the prompt, stop paying for actions that were going to be blocked, and the tokens and context come back to what you actually hired the agent to do.
The full white paper.
Every objection, answered.
The opposite. Prompt guardrails cost 23,000 to 65,000 tokens per governance cycle; GaaS costs 200 to 500 and returns 30 to 60% of your context window. That returned capacity is the Context Dividend.
Prompt guardrails live inside the model, get re-read on every call, and can be argued away. GaaS is external and enforced; the agent cannot talk it out of a block.
An external layer that checks what your AI agents are about to do and allows, holds, or blocks it against your rules, keeping an immutable record of every decision.
Routine actions clear in well under a tenth of a second. Only high-stakes decisions take longer, and only because you asked them to.
No. GaaS sits outside the agent and needs no model changes and no cooperation from the agent to work.
Start free in Shadow Mode, no card. There is a free tier, then plans from $99 a month, and under a cent per governed action at scale. Nonprofits, NGOs, and veteran-owned businesses govern free for life. See pricing.
No. Start in Shadow Mode with just an email; it runs the full pipeline on real actions without enforcing anything, so there is zero operational risk. A developer wires the SDK in an afternoon, and you author policies in plain language.
No. GaaS is for any operator running agents. Regulated teams get framework mappings; everyone else gets control over what their agents do.
