The world has learned how to build AI.
Now it must learn how to trust it.
KoraX Intelligence is an independent AI assurance firm. We apply the layered-defence methods of aviation and maritime safety to examine AI before deployment, where operational, legal and societal trust cannot be left to chance, and give decision-makers the evidence to proceed, fix or stop.
of South African banking institutions surveyed were already using AI. Many are managing it with risk structures built for something else.
AI agents do not only answer questions. They approve, send, pay and decide. Authority like that is normally earned through independent checks. For AI, that check is still too often missing.
From “can it?” to “should it?” in six steps.
Failures rarely have one cause. They arise where weaknesses across protective layers align.
Ten layers of defence. Where their weaknesses align, a failure passes through. KoraX identifies that alignment before customers, regulators or the public do.
Reviews with a clear scope and a clear result.
Every engagement ends in an evidence report: what was verified, what could not be, and what to fix. A human expert reviews each one. We assess within an agreed scope; this is not certification or a guarantee of safety.
What evidence supports your claims about how AI is governed?
KoraX's proprietary approach examines governance, accountability, evidence and controls across ten conceptual layers, and how weaknesses in one layer interact with the others.

Major failures rarely have one cause. They arise when weaknesses across several protective layers line up. Governance, evidence, accountability and controls each need to hold, and they need to hold together.
Built for the people who answer for AI.

A note from the founder.
KoraX is speaking with banks, financial institutions, AI providers and implementation partners as it shapes its first assurance engagements. If your organisation deploys or builds AI, I would welcome the opportunity to understand what you need independently assessed. Tell us about your AI deployment and we will confirm the scope and the evidence required, in writing, before any work begins. Desireé Makoti, Founder.
