PitlaneOps
The operating layer for machine intelligence
Proof over promises. Sim-gated. Latency-aware. Cryptography-backed.

Problem & Vision
Robotics deploys faster than it verifies.
The robotics industry faces critical gaps between development velocity and operational safety. Teams ship code faster than they can verify its impact, leading to costly incidents and slowed innovation cycles.
Result: 73% of robotics teams report production incidents within 30 days of deployment.
We help robotics teams ship faster with fewer incidents by turning every material action into something you can prove.
Rehearsal Gap
Risky changes hit hardware without rehearsal
Teams deploy complex changes directly to production without proper simulation testing, leading to unexpected failures and safety incidents.
Accountability Gap
Logs are debatable and incomplete
When incidents occur, teams struggle to determine what happened and why. Logs can be tampered with and lack context.
Latency Gap
Cloud-only approvals fail at the edge
Robots operating in remote locations can't wait for cloud-based approval systems. Network failures prevent critical decisions.

Why Now & Market Opportunity
Convergence makes proof practical.
Multiple technological and market forces are converging to make cryptographic proof systems not just possible, but essential for robotics operations.
Autonomy leaves the lab
Robots are moving from controlled environments to real-world deployments. AMRs in warehouses, delivery drones, and inspection robots are now operating at scale, creating demand for verifiable operations.
Buyers and regulators ask for evidence
Enterprise customers and regulatory bodies increasingly require proof of safety and compliance. Insurance companies demand verifiable risk assessments, and regulators want audit trails for autonomous systems.
Edge compute and modern crypto enable public provenance
Edge computing capabilities and modern cryptographic primitives (Ed25519, SHA-256, Merkle trees) make it feasible to generate and verify proofs at the edge without compromising performance.
Market Timing: The global robotics market is projected to reach $209B by 2025, with 40% of deployments requiring compliance and audit capabilities.
These three gaps create incidents and slow rollouts. We close all three with portable trust.

Solution & Architecture
Practice, decide, prove.
Our platform creates a comprehensive operating layer that ensures every robotic action is rehearsed, approved, and verifiable. Hardware-agnostic and API-first design.
1. Practice
Sim-gated by default for risky changes
2. Decide
Edge quorums approve or halt under local constraints
3. Prove
Signed attestations bind who, what, when, why
Attestation SDK & CLI
Create and verify attestations (Ed25519, SHA-256), bundle telemetry with replay manifest, local static viewer for inspection.
Sim-Gate Orchestrator (SGO)
Logs → reproducible scenarios, parameter sweeps at scale, Gate DSL for pass/fail, signed promotion or rollback decisions.
Edge Quorum Gateway (EQG)
Short-lived quorums at the edge, t-of-n signatures from robots/operators/safety sources, clear local UI and time windows.
Provenance Network (PPN)
Content-addressed action bundles, periodic anchoring to public data root, light client verifies inclusion and signatures.
We can add strong guarantees without adding drag.

Pitlane Sim-Gate Orchestrator (SGO)
Every risky change should rehearse before it matters
SGO turns real logs into reproducible simulation scenarios, runs sweeps at scale, enforces policy gates and produces a signed decision you can trust. Faster rollouts, fewer incidents, verifiable outcomes.
What SGO Does
Converts logs into deterministic sim scenarios
Runs parameter sweeps (speed, friction, environment) in parallel. Evaluates outcomes with a Gate DSL (collisions, time, map overlap, energy). Emits a signed decision (promote/rollback) plus HTML + JSON reports.
Why It Matters
Safer releases, operational truth, audit-ready
Changes must prove themselves before touching machines. Outcomes tied to telemetry and policy context, not screenshots. Every decision comes with an attestation anyone can verify.
Next Steps
Pilot integrations and demo recording
Pilot integrations for fleets running AMRs, drones or robotic cells. Demo recording will be published to show SGO end-to-end in action.
Every change rehearses, every action is decided with context, every outcome carries proof.

Applied Crypto & Distributed Systems
Signatures, content addressing, threshold flows
DevEx, Data & Cloud
CLI ergonomics, HTML reports, CI pipelines
Strong Creative & Ecosystem Interest
Collaboration with TheHumanoidAI
on brand and narrative development
Approached by multiple ecosystems
for funding and GTM support
Go-to-Market Strategy
Bottom-up adoption, top-down trust
Open-source entry point via Attest CLI, design partnerships with fleets and simulator vendors, proof-driven content marketing.
Financial Model
Simple unit logic
Land via open core → convert to hosted provenance → expand with policy packs and EQG seats. Target gross margins in line with modern SaaS.
We ship small pieces that compound into a full platform.

Security & Compliance
Guardrails by default.
Least privilege, explicit approvals and clear isolation. Agents stay read only until an approval raises capability. Hazardous moves require two people and every approval expires.
Scoped Keys
Tight capability windows with expiry
Agents operate with minimal permissions by default, with time-limited access tokens that automatically expire.
Two Person Rule
High risk needs visible human presence
Critical operations require approval from multiple authorized personnel, with clear audit trails of who approved what and when.
Immutable Artifacts
Signed builds and replayable context
Sims and replays run in isolation with signed artifacts and SBOM checks. Every action is cryptographically verifiable.
Data Minimization
Proofs without leaking sensitive data
Our attestation system provides cryptographic proof of actions without exposing proprietary algorithms or sensitive operational data.
Compliance Ready: Designed to meet enterprise security requirements and regulatory standards for autonomous systems.
Early pull signals from both technical and creative communities.
