The problem

Sovereignty is usually decided by accident

Most AI adoption inside South African financial services inherits whichever cloud region a vendor defaulted to. POPIA doesn’t ban that — but it does require you to be able to answer, on request, where a decision was actually computed and who could access it. Few institutions can answer that today.

How it works

Three steps

One decision, followed from the moment it touches a model to the moment a regulator can check it.
Attestation, on the device that made the decision

01

We map your AI touchpoints

Every place a decision your business makes touches an AI model — internal tooling, vendor integrations, model APIs — gets mapped against where the inference actually runs.

02

LedgerAI attests, on-device

Attestation runs where your data already lives, not in a third-party cloud. Every AI-assisted decision gets a verifiable, auditable record of what happened and where.

03

You get a record a regulator can read

The audit trail is built for the conversation with the Information Regulator, SARB or the FSCA — not retrofitted after the fact.

Figure · tamper-evidence · every mark is derived from the record before it. A log asks to be believed; a hash chain does not.

What it actually does

Three mechanisms

Named, because a compliance product that will not say how it works is asking for the same trust it claims to replace.

SovereignSwitch

A data-residency control plane built around POPIA s72 and GDPR Chapter V transfers. Cross-border transfers are checked for a legal mechanism before they happen — items without one are blocked, not flagged.

Signed audit packs

SHA-256 hashing, Secure Enclave signing and RFC 3161 timestamps, so an audit pack is evidence rather than a claim.

On-device copilot

Regulated questions run against Apple’s on-device foundation models and cite the specific article or clause they answer from.

Figure 3

Why an audit pack is evidence

Figure 3 — Tamper-evidence

Every mark is derived from the record before it. The line sweeping across is a single altered byte, and nothing behind it survives the change — which is the difference between a log, which asks to be believed, and a hash chain, which does not. Signing and timestamping that chain is what turns it into something an auditor can check without trusting either of us.

Recognition

A finalist for Most Innovative App

WesBank New Generation Awards 2026. Three entries were shortlisted in the category. Naming the other two is the point: it is what makes the standing mean something.

The category is for an app developed by a corporate, and the other two finalists are AB InBev campaigns built for the brand by agencies — three agency names between them. Quantyx is the only entrant that built its own: LedgerAI was written by Zanele Simelane and Vuyo Nkadimeng, and is the product the company sells rather than a campaign for something else.

Before you ask

Common questions

Does this replace my compliance team?

No. LedgerAI gives your compliance and risk teams a verifiable record to work from — it does not make compliance decisions for you.

Does any data leave the country?

Attestation is on-device by design: it runs where your data already resides rather than routing it through a third-party cloud region.

What does it cost?

Free for individuals, with no feature paywall. Enterprises pay an annual subscription for a self-hosted deployment; that figure is scoped per engagement rather than published.
