The Institute for AI Measurement Science
Building the neutral evidence layer for AI governance
The Problem
AI Governance Lacks Shared Evidence Infrastructure
- Under-resourced organizations are priced out of compliance.
- Dozens of frameworks. No shared infrastructure. Organizations buy 5+ tools and rebuild for every audit.
- Evidence is fragmented, expensive, and inconsistent — governance becomes pay-to-play.
"The problem is not lack of policy — it's lack of neutral, reusable evidence infrastructure."
Market Gap
Three Options Exist — All Are Broken
Manual Approaches
- Slow and subjective
- Doesn't scale
- Inconsistent output
Consequence: high cost, low repeatability
Expensive Platforms
- Proprietary formats
- Vendor lock-in
- Fragmented evidence
Consequence: fragmented, closed, costly
Open-Source Tools
- No policy context
- No interoperability
- Not standards-aligned
Consequence: technically useful, not governance-ready
"No neutral, machine-readable evidence layer exists today."
The Solution
A Neutral Measurement Layer
Standards
NIST, EU AI Act, OECD, ISO
Controls
Compliance checklists
Templates
Proof templates
Collectors
Open-source tools
Bundles
Proof bundles
- Compliance rules become concrete checklists
- Checklists define what proof to collect
- Tools automatically gather proof from your systems
- You keep all evidence — nothing leaves your company
"Turn compliance requirements into structured, continuously collected evidence."
Scope
Infrastructure, Not a Platform
IAIMS Produces
- Structured controls aligned to standards
- Reusable evidence templates
- Open-source collector tools
- Versioned evidence bundles
IAIMS Does Not
- Certify or assess organizations
- Make compliance decisions
- Operate as a proprietary governance platform
- Create vendor lock-in
"We standardize evidence structure, not compliance outcomes."
Technical Architecture
How Evidence Is Generated & Collected
Standards Monitoring
Watch NIST, EU, ISO
Detect changes
Queue updates
Control Generation
Extract requirements
Draft YAML
Critic review
Control Mapping
Deduplicate
Cross-framework
Categorize
Evidence Templates
Define schemas
YAML/JSON format
Reusable
Evidence Collection
Automated scan
Deterministic
Versioned output
"One control, multiple frameworks, deterministic evidence."
Institutional Form
Why This Requires a Different Institution
Neutral Governance
No commercial interest distorts the infrastructure. Everyone can rely on it equally.
Open Artifacts
Version-controlled and open. Not dependent on any single company.
Mission Alignment
Mission over profit. Infrastructure serves the field, not extracts from it.
"Ensures governance capability isn't pay-to-play. That requires a different institutional form."
Critical Adoption Questions
The Questions That Matter Most
"How do we know assessments are comprehensive?"
- Mapped to 50+ source frameworks
- Coverage reporting shows what was evaluated
- Full traceability from requirement to control to evidence
"Why would enterprises adopt this?"
- Interoperability across vendors, tools, and partners
- Greater credibility through a neutral, nonprofit approach
- Lower cost of tracking evolving requirements
"Does IAIMS collect our data?"
- IAIMS defines schemas and infrastructure — not data collection
- Evidence runs within your environment
- You control what, if anything, is shared
"We anticipated the hard questions. Here are the answers."
Stakeholders
Who Benefits
Adopters
- Startups & SMBs
- Enterprise Teams
- Compliance Offices
Get: Audit-ready evidence at lower cost
Shapers
- Standards Bodies
- Researchers
- Universities
Get: Influence on shared standards
Supporters
- Foundations & Grants
- Government Initiatives
- Forward-thinking Companies
Get: Scalable impact on AI governance
"Open infrastructure benefits the entire ecosystem equally."
Timing
The Window Is Open — But Not Forever
Frameworks Are Live
EU AI Act active, NIST in use, OECD principles adopted globally
Evidence Demands Outpace Capacity
Organizations scrambling to prove compliance with limited tools
Infrastructure Is Crystallizing
Proprietary platforms will dominate if neutral layer doesn't emerge
"Governance infrastructure is crystallizing. The moment to build neutral foundations is now."
Current Status
Where We Are
CURRENT
Phase 1: Foundation & Specification
- ✓ Organization incorporated
- ✓ Governance principles defined
- ✓ Initial problem statements scoped
- Framework prioritization
- Initial measurement primitives
NEXT
Phase 2: Reference Implementations
- Public artifact taxonomy
- Framework-to-measurement mappings
- Reference schemas (JSON/YAML)
- Open-source repository launch
- Public review process
PLANNED
Phase 3: Production Tooling
- Evidence collection primitives
- CI/CD reference implementations
- Audit-ready traceability outputs
- Enterprise deployments
