V1LA
How it works

How independent verification works

Four steps take a target from observation to a conclusion that can be checked. You choose the target; V1LA does the discovery.

Observe, Detect, Contrast, Verify

  1. 01

    Observe

    V1LA studies the target from the outside, with no access required.

    • Public documents, websites and interfaces
    • User-facing processes and observable outcomes
    • Policies, communications and third-party dependencies
  2. 02

    Detect

    It extracts what is claimed and what does not add up.

    • Claims that can be tested
    • Inconsistencies between sources
    • Evidence gaps and open questions
  3. 03

    Contrast

    Findings are put to the organization and to additional evidence.

    • A contrast request to the organization
    • Its response is recorded as evidence
    • Authorization is requested only if internal verification is needed
  4. 04

    Verify

    Each claim receives a status and a traceable justification.

    • Hashed, timestamped evidence
    • A status for every claim
    • Human review before anything is reported

Start outside. Go deeper with authorization.

The path to the internal layer is a decision of the organization, taken after the external findings are on the table.

Starts here

External / Organizational Layer

No access to internal systems required.

  • Public claims
  • Public policies
  • Websites
  • Interfaces
  • User-facing processes
  • Organizational behaviour
  • Public documentation
  • Observable outcomes
  • Third-party dependencies
  • Communications
  • Inconsistencies
  • Evidence gaps
Only with authorization

Internal Agentic Layer — with authorization

Scoped to what the organization authorizes.

  • AI agents
  • Agentic workflows
  • Model interactions
  • Prompts
  • Tool calls
  • Retrieval
  • Handoffs
  • Logs
  • Access permissions
  • Decision paths
  • Human intervention
  • Internal policies
  • Evidence provenance
  • Traceability
  • Reproducibility

Authorization is explicit, scoped and revocable.

Where people decide

V1LA does not issue verdicts on its own. A reviewer approves or escalates each finding, and the report shows who reviewed what. If a finding cannot be settled, it stays open and says so.

Evaluations are designed so they can be run again, which is what lets a third party reproduce a conclusion instead of taking it on trust.
