Where the cost actually lives.

GaaS separates governance intelligence from inference compute. Four of five pipeline stages are deterministic. One requires LLM inference. The architecture separates them so you only pay for what you need.

Architecture

Two planes. One governance brain.

The Control Plane runs on GaaS infrastructure — always. The Inference Plane is yours to configure. This separation is why pricing is transparent.

Runs on GaaS.is
Control Plane
Governance logic, regulatory intelligence, policy evaluation, audit infrastructure, and learning systems. Deterministic. Near-zero variable cost per action. This is what your platform fee pays for.
Cost per routine action
~$0.00014 — deterministic compute
You configure
Inference Plane
LLM compute that powers deliberation agents. GaaS sends structured prompts. Your model (or ours) produces assessments. Only triggered for high-risk actions — 5–15% of total volume.
Cost per deliberation
~$0.02–0.08 — LLM inference tokens
Unit Economics

Cost per action, stage by stage.

Most actions never leave the Control Plane. When they do, the Inference Plane cost is isolated and predictable.

LLM costs are falling, governance costs aren’t. Claude Opus 4.6 — the latest frontier model with a 1M context window — launched February 2026. GPT-4o is 83% cheaper than GPT-4. The Control Plane (where the governance intelligence lives) is deterministic compute — it doesn’t change with model pricing. As inference costs drop, the deliberation range only gets more favorable. Your costs go down; the governance value stays the same.
Pricing validated against Feb 2026 market data. AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and S3 current pricing (us-east-1). Anthropic and OpenAI official model pricing. Per-action estimates are intentionally conservative — actual infrastructure costs trend lower than quoted ranges.

What You Get

The platform fee pays for intelligence — not compute.

GaaS isn't an inference proxy. It's cognitive offloading — a governance brain built on proprietary regulatory intelligence, calibrated deliberation, and immutable audit infrastructure.

⍑
Compliance Knowledge Base
12 regulatory frameworks, 60+ policies. HIPAA, GDPR, EU AI Act, NIST 800-53, FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST CSF, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and more. Critical updates propagate in minutes.
⚖
Calibrated Deliberation
Six specialized agent roles with curated prompts, weighted consensus, and cross-examination. Learning Engine calibrates weights daily.
⚙
4-Tier Policy Engine
Universal ethical constraints → regulatory compliance → organizational rules → situational policies. Evaluated in under 10ms.
⚣
Immutable Audit Trail
Hash-chained with DLT anchoring and governance proof tokens. 11-nines durable. Not just what happened — why it happened, who decided, what the alternatives were. Co-signed, non-repudiable, policy-epoch-versioned.
⏳
Learning Engine
Continuous refinement from every governance decision. Override patterns, false positive detection, escalation outcome analysis.
☘
Context Enrichment
Discovers what the agent doesn't know — regulatory context, entity state, prior history. Parallel fetch in under 50ms.
Built for mission, not margin? Nonprofits, NGOs, and veteran-owned businesses qualify for free governance for life. Contact us →

Frequently Asked Questions

Pricing moves to per-decision usage billing scaled by action complexity and risk tier. Low-risk routine decisions are a fraction of a cent; high-stakes decisions with full deliberation are priced proportionately. The full rate card will be published before the pool closes. You will never be charged without notice.

Yes, every governed action consumes one decision. You control which actions route through GaaS — only the consequential ones (payments, communications, record access). Most deployments govern a targeted subset, making the 250M shared launch pool go significantly further than it sounds.

No. Shadow Mode starts with just an email and a description of your agents. No credit card, no commitment, no contract. The 250M free launch pool is shared across all accounts during the launch period.

Both use the same per-decision meter. Shadow Mode evaluates actions without enforcing decisions — it shows what GaaS would have done without affecting your operations. Activating enforcement uses the same cost structure, but decisions are actually applied.

Yes. Nonprofits, NGOs, and veteran-owned businesses qualify for free governance for life — contact sales@gaas.is with your organization details. Early-stage startups building on GaaS during the launch pool period are encouraged to reach out about extended access terms.
