--- ## 🌍 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.** We do not build "creative" chat bots. We build **Sovereign Auditors** that enforce: * **Data Sovereignty:** Ensuring data never crosses borders illegally (nFADP/GDPR). * **Citation Accuracy:** If the AI cannot cite the source, the AI must fail. * **Liability Containment:** Shifting risk away from the enterprise. --- ## 🏛️ Deployed Sovereign Tools (Live) ### 1. [🇨🇭 Swiss Risk Calculator](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Cata-Risk-Lab/Swiss-Risk-Calculator) * **Role:** Regulatory Risk Assessment * **Function:** Maps AI deployments against the **Swiss nFADP** and **EU AI Act**. Calculates risk tiers based on data sensitivity and user volume. ### 2. [🛡️ Veritas: The Hallucination Auditor](https://huggingface.co/spaces/Cata-Risk-Lab/Veritas-Auditor) * **Role:** RAG Auditing Engine * **Function:** Ingests financial PDFs and forces strictly cited responses.
