Infrastructure for Identity in the Age of AI

The provenance layer
for human identity.

A neutral verification, certification, and enforcement platform for estates, platforms, and AI labs. Certified consent. Authenticated likeness. Enforceable rights — at AI scale, on a cryptographic horizon that outlives current standards.

The Problem

Every face, voice, and performance is now
trivially reproducible.

Generative AI has collapsed the cost of impersonation to zero. The law is catching up fast. The infrastructure to comply with, enforce, and certify against that law has not been built. We are building it.

Federal
TAKE IT DOWN Act

State AI Statutes, Live
CA · TN · IL · NY
AB 1836, the ELVIS Act, HB 4875, and § 50-f. Each creates fresh causes of action for unauthorized digital replicas — with distributor liability in two jurisdictions.
Postmortem Rights

New York 40, Illinois 50, California 70, Indiana 100, Tennessee effectively perpetual. Estates need certification that will outlive the signatures that issue it.
Litigation Trend
Class‑Action
Plaintiffs are testing whether training on identity data is itself actionable. The theory is in court. The evidence infrastructure is not.
The Platform

A neutral exchange for
consent, certification, and recovery.

Three interoperating products, connected by a single transaction ledger. Analysis is separated from certification — the way financial auditors are separated from ratings agencies, and for the same reason.

I

Detection

ML-grade monitoring of public web, social, streaming, and generative-model output for unauthorized use of registered likenesses. Output matching plus training-data forensic attribution — aligned with the emerging class-action theory that training on identity data is itself actionable.

  • Face, voice, and mannerism fingerprinting
  • Voice-clone model detection (ELVIS Act aligned)
  • Evidence packaging for counsel
III

Recovery

A contingency-priced recovery service that mirrors the unclaimed-property industry: we find unauthorized AI use of a client's likeness, package evidence, route enforcement to the correct state statute, and participate in the recovery. Estates need no budget line — only outcomes.

  • Cross-state ROP compliance routing
  • Secretary-of-State registration-as-a-service
  • Contingency alignment, not retainer sales
Our Wedge

We lead with the
estates of legends.

Elvis. Marilyn. Dr. King. Prince. Bob Marley. Tupac. Robin Williams. Billion-dollar-adjacent identities, managed by trusts and aggregators with no technical infrastructure for the AI era. Four estates have already fought deepfakes in court or in public — and none of them are cushioned by an in-house enforcement arm.

Escheatment-for-likeness. Contingency pricing. The estate pays nothing until we recover something.”
  • Robin Williams Trust — public Sora 2 denunciation, Oct 2025
  • George Carlin Estate — first AI-NIL settlement, 2024
  • Amaru Entertainment (Tupac) — AI-voice C&D to Drake, 2024
  • Intellectual Properties Management (MLK) — P3 Media AI-enforcement deal, 2024

Why Us

Three moats
no incumbent has.

M1

Post-quantum cryptography for rights that outlive current crypto.

Postmortem terms run 70, 100, or effectively perpetual. Current cryptographic primitives will not survive that horizon. Our certification stack signs consent with post-quantum primitives from day one. It is research-grade — not marketing.

M2

Training-data attribution, not just output detection.

Existing detection vendors match outputs. We combine output detection with training-data forensic signals — directly aligned with the emerging theory that training on identity data is itself actionable. The evidence infrastructure courts will need.

M3

Neutral infrastructure, not a licensing agency.

Agencies, aggregators, and collectives are players in this market. The verification layer that all of them need — and that none of them can credibly be — is missing. We are building it, and we are not a player.

Architecture

Two companies.
One neutral exchange.

Analysis and certification are separated by design. Combining them is exactly what sank the major ratings agencies in 2008. For a business whose product is trust, the separation is the business.

Analysis and certification operate as distinct entities, governed separately, with no commercial cross-subsidy. Platforms and AI labs verify tokens through the Exchange; estates and rights-holders monitor and enforce through LitmanProvenance; the certification mark is licensable to any counterparty, including our competitors.

Early Access

We are opening a limited group of design partners.

Estates, entertainment IP counsel, and AI-platform trust & safety leads: if the problem here is familiar, we want to talk. Early partners shape the certification spec, receive preferred economics, and are first to production.
