Cortx
Cortx is an enterprise AI agent platform from XNODE Inc. Per the vendor's own site, it runs agents that retrieve data, execute tasks and complete workflows end to end: a goal is broken down, acted on, and the agent checks in with the customer's team before consequential decisions, with maker-checker approval gates a human reviewer must clear before downstream actions proceed. Guardrails are described as policies on what AI accesses, generates and shares, enforced automatically rather than reviewed after the fact, alongside role-based access control. The platform is stated to be Generally Available and live in production, deployed on premises, AKS and EKS within the customer's network boundary, and MCP and A2A native. The vendor states Cortx operates across hedge funds, asset managers, diversified financial conglomerates and government agencies in the US and India, and that it is certified to ISO 27001, ISO 42001, GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II - self-declared, with no certificate, auditor or report date published on the page checked. Customers may use private LLMs or connect custom models; the platform is stated to use third-party AI services, which it does not name. A full audit trail is claimed, with no tamper-evidence or hash-chaining. Pricing scales with deployment size and usage. No insurance, indemnity or outcome-linked payment term is published; the terms instead disclaim liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Trust gap
How this is scoredAre scope, spend, and authority enforced while the agent runs?
Vendor states guardrails as policies on what AI accesses, generates and shares, "enforced automatically, not manually reviewed after the fact", plus role-based access control and maker-checker approval gates a human must clear before downstream actions. Scope and authority are claimed to be enforced at run time; no spend or budget control is evidenced, and every statement is the vendor's own claim on its own site, so not a 3.
Is there a tamper-evident record of what it actually did?
The page carries the bare phrase "Full audit trail" as a feature bullet. A record is claimed, but nothing on the page states it is tamper-evident, hash-chained, immutable or customer-reviewable, and no retention or export detail is given.
How this gap gets closed →Are compliance obligations attached per engagement?
Vendor states certification to ISO 27001, ISO 42001, GDPR, HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II. Self-declared: no certificate, auditor name or report date is published on the page checked, and no per-engagement compliance schedule is offered, so short of a 3.
Does payment depend on a verified result?
Pricing is stated to scale with deployment size and usage, with enterprise pricing by sales contact. Payment is not tied to any verified outcome; no outcome-based pricing, success fee or settlement mechanism appears on the page checked.
How this gap gets closed →Can the deployment be insured, and is the customer indemnified?
No insurance, carrier, coverage limit or customer indemnity appears on the page checked. The opposite is published: XNODE disclaims liability "for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the platform" to the fullest extent permitted by law.
