Our research and code are open, so anyone can check them. Published as an open preprint in August 2026 under CC BY 4.0, negative results included.
Each figure links to the file or paper it comes from.
SOVA is the Serbian and Russian word for owl. SOVA OSS is the free, public instrument: map, test, record, replay and forensics. Its results are self-assessments. Only TRUSCOR issues the independent score.
sova demo sleeper finds a planted hidden behaviour with no model, API key or network, and writes a signed .sova-trace and .sova file.

Each capability answers a dated rule, ruling or market gap. The corpus grows with every consented rating, and two sector capabilities follow the mandates that create them.
The corpus is de-identified and consented, quiet and never covert. One client’s findings never leave that client, and contributors get access on equal terms.
Published August 2026 under CC BY 4.0, not peer-reviewed. Capsules, traces, a per-event SHA-256 hash chain and a signed manifest. .sova-trace 0.1 is implemented in SOVA OSS.
AvailableAbout 60,000 lines of Python. All the verbs, the arena, the registry and forensics exist in code; live validation so far is thin.
AvailableA measurement-only incident record mapped to the EU Art. 73 template, California SB 53 and the OECD incident framework, released through SOVA OSS so it can become the common format.
AvailableA structured record of AI incidents in India.
Being builtFailure rates per 1,000 consequential actions, by agent class, version and autonomy level, from consented Black Box and SOVA data.
Being builtDe-identified failure patterns for security teams and licensees. Attack techniques change weekly.
Being builtWhich AI systems really depend on which models and frameworks, observed from fingerprints and aggregated: the model-exposure schedule reinsurers need.
Being builtAfter an upstream model change or failure, a consented panel is retested and the event’s footprint published, so reinsurance contracts can define an “AI event”.
Being builtFive fields and a short call. We reply within one working day.
