§ 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 Lasso if policy to runtime enforcement and testing evidence matter most to you. You want red teaming that patches guardrails automatically, with CI hooks.
