§ 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 Holistic AI if framework mapping and audit-ready reports and ai discovery and inventory matter most to you. You do not yet know every model, agent and application in use, and discovery across cloud and code repositories comes first.
