Practical governance for agentic AI. RAI-Institute builds open, shared infrastructure for assessing and reducing the risks of agentic AI systems — the frameworks, rubrics, and live registries that let builders, buyers, and regulators reason about autonomous systems with a common vocabulary.
TrustX is one versioned core, applied through three postures an organisation takes toward an agentic system.
| Posture | What the assessment answers | Where | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🔨 | Build | Is the system we're shipping trustworthy enough at this autonomy tier? | trustx-framework |
| 🔍 | Buy | Can we trust a system we're procuring, and at what autonomy tier should we run it? | trustx-framework |
| 🛡️ | Protect | What controls must wrap a deployed system to keep it in bounds over time? | trustx-framework |
| 🐿️ | ROAR | Which systems have been assessed, and how did they score? | roar-demos |
| What | Repo | Notes |

Who's who — profile pages & links. Live at rai-institute.github.io/team. |
- → Read the TrustX framework — the 12 dimensions, the 1–3 scale, and worst-case-wins aggregation.
- → Browse the ROAR registry — assessed systems reported as GPA + IAT.
- → Join a working group or fellowship — pick a track and follow the onboarding.
Working groups run sandboxes — the environment where the standard is pressure-tested against real deployments before it ships. See how sandboxes are set up.
- Agentic Commerce & Banking —
