Best for	Enterprises building a formal, framework-driven AI governance program that spans legal, risk, compliance, and data science teams.	European and EU-facing organizations that need to operationalize EU AI Act conformity and connect governance to their MLOps/LLMOps stack.
Limitations	As a governance-layer tool it depends on integrations and manual inputs for evidence, and it is less focused on real-time runtime monitoring or model performance observability.	Strong EU-regulatory orientation may be more than non-EU buyers require, and as a younger, smaller-funded vendor its ecosystem and reference base are still maturing.
