Primal

About

Primal develops trust capabilities that can be incorporated directly into AI applications. Its engine-agnostic Trust Skills are designed to help AI systems provide provenance, verification, explanations, audit trails, quality controls, and human oversight rather than relying solely on external governance or post-generation output scanning.

The company operates as both a technology developer and an implementation partner. Its Trust Skills can be used by AI coding agents, while its Provenant Sprints provide time-boxed engagements in which Primal works with customer teams to build and evaluate trustworthy workflows in real operating environments.
