The market shift: AI is moving from “chat” to “execution”
The biggest change happening right now is that AI is no longer just generating text, it's taking actions inside systems (files, repos, payments, infrastructure). That “agentic” shift is also creating a new class of risk: AI becomes an operator.
Recent research is explicit: enterprises need a runtime control plane that translates governance intent into enforceable, auditable rules policy-as-code, identity for agents, approvals, telemetry or AI will keep failing compliance in production.
And the risk is not theoretical: even “tool connector” ecosystems are showing real security failures (MCP server issues, prompt-injection paths to privileged actions).
Translation: everyone is racing to bolt governance onto AI execution. We are building it into the foundation.
Who’s “competing” in adjacent space and what they’re missing
1) Enterprise AI governance platforms documentation plus lifecycle governance
IBM watsonx.governance is a leading example of “unified AI governance,” focused on lifecycle oversight, audit support and compliance mapping. Credo AI focuses on governance programs and policy packs aligned to frameworks like NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.
What they generally are: governance systems that manage inventory, policies, documentation, workflows across the AI lifecycle.What they’re not: a language-native, cryptographically-enforced execution fabric for AI plus quantum workflows.
2) Agentic AI security / MCP governance runtime security layer
Prompt Security and similar vendors are building real-time visibility plus policy enforcement for agentic systems and MCP toolchains.
What they generally are: security gateways / monitoring layers around tools.What they’re not: a new compute language plus deterministic governance layer that makes auditability and policy constraints first-class.
3) Verifiable AI ZKML / proof-driven audit
A big research wave is verifiable AI inference using zero-knowledge proofs so you can prove a model ran correctly without exposing sensitive data.
What it is: math-based verification primitives.What it’s missing (in most stacks): a complete policy plus identity + PQC + execution control plane that turns verification into an operational standard especially for hybrid quantum/classical workflows.
The standards pressure is accelerating this is why the timing is perfect
AI governance standards are now formal
ISO/IEC 42001 exists specifically to operationalize AI governance via an AI management system standard.
NIST AI RMF 1.0 is the primary U.S. framework for managing AI trust and risk.
Post-quantum transition is now real policy, not theory
NIST finalized the first PQC encryption standards in FIPS 203/204/205 and is pushing organizations to start transitioning.
U.S. government guidance is now publishing adoption categories and roadmaps for PQC transition.
NIST has also published transition guidance (draft) for moving to PQC.
Translation: regulated markets are being forced into governed AI plus PQC readiness. Most “AI stacks” weren’t built for that.
Why 11 AI / 11/11 is ahead:
Our public architecture frames 11/11 as Circuit layer plus Policy layer plus Flow layer explicitly designed so security/compliance/auditability are not bolted on after execution, but defined and enforced as part of computation.
We are also explicitly called out the core enterprise blocker in quantum adoption: auditability, the ability to produce verifiable evidence that a quantum workload ran under approved constraints.
And we are positioned PQ security as a required foundation for AI systems as quantum capability advances.
The simplest way to say it:
Most players are building:
AI governance paperwork systems (registries, policies, audits), or
runtime monitoring layers around AI tools, or
narrow cryptographic proofs for AI outputs.
11/11 is building a compute-era “trust substrate”:
Policy is code (enforced before execution)
Audit evidence is produced by default
Post-quantum security is native
Hybrid quantum/classical workflows are first-class
Identity can be anchored to decentralized identifiers (a W3C standard direction the world is adopting).
We are early because we built for the end state regulators and enterprises are converging toward:
Runtime enforcement (not just policy PDFs)
Audit-ready evidence (not “trust us” logs)
PQC transition reality (not future roadmap)
Quantum IR ecosystem maturity (industry is still stabilizing intermediate representations like OpenQASM for hardware execution; we are building a higher-order layer above that).
“We’re not another model. We’re the governance plus cryptographic execution layer that makes AI and quantum safe to run in regulated reality.”
Competitive takeaway
IBM / Credo / others help organizations document and manage AI governance. Prompt Security / agent security vendors help police agent tools and connectors at runtime. ZKML research helps prove computation happened correctly.
11 AI / 11/11 is positioned to unify all three into one coherent foundation:
Governed execution plus audit-grade evidence plus post-quantum security plus hybrid quantum/classical flows by design.
