§ 4 Which should you choose?

Choose Alice if policy to runtime enforcement and testing evidence matter most to you. You ship customer-facing AI in a regulated industry and need tests before launch, a runtime guardrail tuned to your own policies and retesting after launch from one vendor.

Choose Credo AI if framework mapping and audit-ready reports and ai discovery and inventory matter most to you. Legal, risk and compliance own AI governance and need a register of agents, models and apps with assessments and reports.
