## 🌍 Open Source Mission

Cata Risk Lab builds **public infrastructure** for AI sovereignty. We believe compliance tools should be open goods—not luxury services sold behind closed doors.

Our mission: Empower any developer to run enterprise-grade sovereignty audits in minutes, democratizing capabilities previously reserved for Fortune 500 companies.

**Built with care. Powered by people. Open by design.**


###  Core Methodology
We operate on a **"Compliance-in-the-Loop"** architecture designed for:
* **Swiss Banking Standards (nFADP)**
* **EU AI Act (High-Risk Classification)**
* **UK & Australian Privacy Principles**

* **Zero-Trust Retrieval:** Returns explicit "FAIL" verdicts for missing data.
* **Audit Trail:** Generates citation-backed logs.
* **Tech Stack:** `LangChain` | `Azure OpenAI` | `ChromaDB` | `Python`

> "A guess in a regulatory audit is not a glitch. It is a lawsuit."
