One ungoverned AI incident costs more than a decade of TheWARDN. The question isn't whether you can afford governance — it's whether you can afford not to have it.

Common Questions
Answered.
How does the 5-day free trial work?
Select your plan and enter your payment method at signup. You get full access to your chosen plan for 5 days. Your card is not charged during the trial. On day 6, your subscription activates automatically. You can cancel anytime during the trial with one click — no charge, no hassle.
Do I need a credit card to start the trial?
Yes. We collect a payment method at signup so the transition to your paid plan is seamless. Your card is tokenized securely by Stripe and is not charged until your trial ends. Cancel before day 5 and you pay nothing.
Do I need to replace my existing AI agents?
No. TheWARDN governs whatever AI agents you already have — GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, open source, custom models. You add four lines of code. Nothing gets replaced. Nothing gets retrained.
How long does setup take?
Under 10 minutes from signup to first governed action. Sign up, copy your API key, install the SDK, add four lines of code, configure basic policies. That's it. The LLM-assisted setup makes it even faster for non-technical teams.
What happens when an action is held in escrow?
The action is suspended at the commit boundary — it cannot execute. You receive an alert via your configured channels. You review the full context and choose RELEASE or KILL. If you do nothing, the action is automatically killed at timeout. Silence is never approval. This is a non-negotiable architectural guarantee.
Is the audit trail really tamper-evident?
Yes. Every verdict is cryptographically sealed before execution using a hash chain — each record's hash incorporates the previous record's hash. Modifying any record breaks every subsequent hash. You can verify chain integrity from the console or export and verify independently.
What are add-on modules?
Modules extend TheWARDN beyond base governance. Each module adds specialized capabilities — like replaying past decisions against new policies (Governance Replay) or detecting ungoverned AI in your organization (Shadow AI Discovery). Activate the modules you need from your console. Private Cloud includes all 10 modules.
Can I deploy on my own servers?
Yes. On-premises deployment is available under our Enterprise plans. You receive a Docker image, run it inside your own network, and your data never leaves your perimeter. Enterprise Standard starts at $99,000/year. Enterprise Premium adds air-gapped capability, source escrow, and dedicated support at $249,000/year.
What does business pricing look like?
Business plans start at $999/mo for Startup (5 agents, 500K actions), $2,999/mo for Business (25 agents, 5M actions), $7,499/mo for Scale (100 agents, 25M actions), and Private Cloud (custom pricing, unlimited everything, dedicated instance). Annual billing saves 20% across all tiers. Every plan includes a 5-day free trial.
