§ 5 Who should choose Alice?

Good fit if

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.
Your users write in many languages or send images and other media, and controls must cover all of it.

Look elsewhere if

Your first governance task is an inventory of every model and agent in the company, or a register of third-party AI: neither is described on Alice's pages.
You need a published price or a free tier to start without a sales call.
