VAIG: The Admissibility Layer for Enterprise AI

Enterprise AI systems frequently fail in production due to the absence of verifiable governance mechanisms. VAIG (Validation AI Guard) is an external, deterministic governance layer designed to validate, audit, and control AI inference pipelines independently of the underlying model. By introducing explicit validation gates, cryptographic auditability, and structured escalation mechanisms, VAIG ensures operational reliability and facilitates regulatory compliance with the EU AI Act.
