Setup
Choose the AIGIS boundary before you connect the first system.
Start with a free evaluation workspace. Choose AIGIS-hosted, split into a hybrid control plane, or run customer-hosted inside your environment. Paid activation begins only after the runtime, secrets, audit, and connector boundary is clear.
Selected path
Hybrid
Request a hybrid activation; Governed operates the experience while your sensitive data plane runs in your cloud.

Setup paths
Pick the paid activation path that matches the buyer.
Start with the operating boundary: who runs the runtime, who holds secrets and model keys, and where audit evidence needs to land.
