Commercial pathways

Four ways to engage a two-product control-plane security company.

IVD is available for paid evaluation, design-partner deployment, platform or OEM licensing discussion, and strategic development. Each path begins with a defined problem, bounded access, measurable outcomes, and a clear commercial decision point.

Engagement Models

From diligence to deployment or integration.

Paid Technical Evaluation

Resolve the engineering question first.

A defined-duration evaluation can include technical specifications, controlled evidence, testbed or replay materials, support, and custom scenarios. Evaluation rights are distinct from production or platform rights.

Design Partnership

Prove fit on one bounded operational surface.

IVD-N design partners can scope one network domain or edge segment. IVD-ACP design partners can scope one ingestion, agent-tool, CI/CD, administrative, or privileged-automation surface.

OEM and Platform Licensing

Add the control plane to an established platform.

Licensing and integration discussions are appropriate for routing, DDoS, network-security, cloud, AI-security, SaaS, and automation vendors evaluating embedded or adjacent control-plane capability.

Strategic Development

Accelerate validation, hardening, and market entry.

Strategic investment or corporate partnership can accelerate provider-edge and protected-surface validation, product hardening, patent prosecution, integrations, and commercial execution.

Go-to-Market Logic

Separate sales motions preserve the value of both products.

IVD-ACP

Lead with one protected surface.

The fastest commercial wedge is a bounded ingestion or action gate with defined latency, false-positive, bypass, availability, and replay criteria. Likely buyers include CISOs, AI platform teams, AppSec, platform engineering, DevSecOps, data governance, regulated enterprises, and SaaS product-security teams.

IVD-N

Lead with one protected network domain.

The network motion begins with a controlled domain, operator-owned policy, vendor-specific lifecycle review, rollback criteria, and evidence outputs. The Control and Evidence Plane can initially govern existing telemetry; IVD Invariant Detection can then be measured and added as a premium signal source. Likely buyers include carriers, hosting providers, utilities, critical infrastructure, federal programs, and routing or DDoS platforms.

Buyer and Platform Fit
Carrier / upstream provider

IVD-N attack-object formation, FlowSpec lifecycle, relief, and routing-governance review.

Utility / critical infrastructure

Bounded resilience evaluation with change-control and evidence requirements.

Federal / institutional evaluator

Rev. 4 materials, controlled evidence, reproduction record, and scoped test plan.

AI / software platform

IVD-ACP admission control for RAG, agents, tools, supply chain, or administrative workflows.

Cybersecurity platform

OEM, embedded, adjacent-product, or intellectual-property licensing review.

Defined Outputs
  • Architecture and protected-surface review
  • Controlled test or deployment plan
  • Pre-agreed success, failure, and rollback criteria
  • Evidence and operational-fit assessment
  • Go, revise, integrate, license, or stop decision
Commercial Discipline

IVD is sold as control-plane security infrastructure, not passive observability, an alert dashboard, or open-ended consulting. Any engagement begins with technical fit, scoped access, and an agreed decision path.

  • No production rights implied by evaluation access
  • No unbounded access to patent or source internals
  • No deployment, endorsement, or accreditation claim beyond the evidence
  • No public disclosure of confidential partner results without agreement
