Vienna OS vs Credo AI
Documentation tells you what happened. Execution control prevents bad things from happening.
Vienna OS
Execution Control
Agent wants to access customer data → Vienna checks risk tier → requires privacy officer approval → issues cryptographic warrant → allows execution → logs audit trail
Bad action never happens
Credo AI
Compliance Documentation
AI system deployed → Credo analyzes system documentation → generates compliance reports → creates risk assessments → produces regulatory paperwork
Bad action documented after the fact
