🚀 The Infrastructure Gap

At the end of 2025 our CEO and Co-Founder, Matt, returned from a month in the US with one of our investors, Antler, and 9 other handpicked startups from Australia, South East Asia and India. After hundreds of conversations with enterprises, one story kept repeating:

Boards have authorized multi-million dollar AI budgets. POCs are happening in every Company and Enterprise. Yet almost no one is getting agents into production.

The wall they are hitting isn't the technology—it’s the Governance Void.

We’ve built an identity layer for humans and agents, but we’ve realized that Identity is just "table stakes.". The real blocker is accountability and control.

The evidence from the field:

• $80B Telco: Tech works, Auth works—but Legal killed the project because there was no audit trail.

• Fortune 500 Pharma: Stuck on one question: "If an agent affects patient safety, who is legally responsible?"

• Major Finance: Eight separate POCs blocked because compliance can't get a "Control Plane" view of agent activity.

• $100B Saas: Total "agent sprawl." Different teams using LangChain, AWS, Google, and custom Python. No visibility, no unified control, and ultra-high risk.

 🏗️ What we’re building: Agent Control Plane

Prefactor is moving beyond simple Auth. We are building the governance infrastructure that allows Product, Security, and AI teams to manage agents from one place.

Our Control Plane provides the answers regulators and legal teams demand:

• Unified Visibility: Exactly which agents are running in your org?

• Reasoning Logs: Why did the agent take that specific action?

• Clear Attribution: Clear links from human intent to business outcome.

• Proactive Control: Governance guardrails that stop problems before they occur.

💻️ Call for Design Partners: LangChain Pilot

We have a POC live today. By January 20th, we are launching a system to track LangChain agents, their permissions, and their activity trails in real-time.

You are the perfect fit if:

1. Building production agents in LangChain.

2. Operating in regulated industries (Finance, Pharma, Telco, Mining).

3. Currently blocked by Legal/Compliance on "accountability."

The Deal: You get early access and direct influence on our roadmap to solve your specific compliance blockers. We get the real-world requirements to build the industry standard.

This is customer development, not a sales pitch. We want to help you ship.

Onwards,
