§ 4 Which should you choose?

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.

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.
