Runtime Governance Engineering
Who We Are
Runtime Governance Engineering
Dan Mercede didn't start in AI governance. He started in operations — managing teams, systems, and accountability structures inside a $2B fitness organization. That operational discipline is what makes OIA different.
We don't advise on governance frameworks. We engineer the runtime systems that enforce them.
Capabilities
What We Create
Closing the Governance Gap
Most governance programs fail because they exist only on paper. Policies are written, filed, and forgotten — until an audit, a breach, or regulatory pressure forces action.
Runtime Enforcement
OIA was founded to close that gap. We build governance systems enforced at runtime — not referenced in slide decks.
Measured by One Standard
Every engagement, every deliverable, every system we design is measured by one standard: does it hold under pressure — in production, under audit, at scale?

Vision
The Orion View
“If governance isn't enforced at runtime, it isn't governance.”
OIA works with enterprise AI and compliance-driven teams that have live AI systems and need those systems to be audit-ready, regulation-aligned, and operationally resilient.
If your AI is in production, we make sure it's governed.
