An agent makes a determination. Months later someone — an examiner, opposing counsel, a board committee — asks the system to reconstruct why that specific determination was made, and a well‑built deployment returns a state snapshot: what it held, not the reasoning that produced the outcome, and nothing attributable across the human‑to‑agent handoff. That gap is not a logging problem. It is an architecture problem — and Argus produces the record that closes it.
Argus is joint intellectual property, co‑owned by Atlas North Institute and SprintiQ Inc. — a single architected pipeline of three stages. The Define audit runs on a knowledge engine grounded in established sources, so every finding traces to a real source, not a model's opinion. That traceability is what holds up when the people who came asking are the ones the answer has to satisfy.
Most of this field asserts that its systems are auditable. Argus shows you one. Below is the Define stage walked end to end — agent graph, STRIDE, FMEA, NIST maturity, remediation roadmap, and the signed artifact with the M7 spine that feeds the rest of the pipeline. Seven modals, no sales call required.
A worked audit of an agent system, scope to signed artifact and M7 spine — the same method every Argus engagement opens with. Walk it at your own pace; nothing is gated.
Argus is operated jointly across the venture. SprintiQ Inc. runs the Agent Trust Audit as a named practice and holds SDVOSB set‑aside eligibility; the same engine, the same artifact, appears on both sites — by design.
Every engagement begins with a free briefing — ninety minutes to map the system underneath the noise. If a deployed agent is making determinations someone could one day ask you to defend, that is where it starts.
