About ARIADA

ARIADA is the agentic compliance architect for the modern web — multi-agent orchestration that architects compliant systems from L0 Mindset, detects drift continuously across eleven scanner-axes, and remediates at source through autonomous pull-request generation. We test, we control. The platform is operated by two sibling legal entities — one in Sweden, one in the United States — under common ownership.

Legal entities — Sweden + United States

ARIADA is operated by two affiliated companies that own the IP, employment, customer contracts, and revenue together. Customers contract with one or the other depending on their billing jurisdiction; both companies share the same engineering leadership, patent portfolio, and product roadmap.

Founder

Alexander Brichkin, founder of ARIADA

Alexander Brichkin — Founder & CEO, Agonist Development AB. Based in Vällingby, Sweden.

Alexander's route into RegTech began in IT engineering, followed by a long detour through live-action role-playing design — Sweden and Scandinavia, where LARP first matured as a serious craft. He is currently a graduate student in Transformative Game Design at Uppsala University, studying how games, agency, and adversarial systems shape behaviour at scale. That lens informs ARIADA directly: compliance is treated as an adversarial game between regulation, engineers, AI coding agents, and auditors — each side moves, each move has consequences, and the platform's job is to make those moves observable and reversible at the source.

Today he is solo-building ARIADA on a multi-product Nordic AB structure: nine USPTO patent applications filed March-April 2026 covering the eleven-axis scanner, the AI-vs-human attribution audit, and autonomous source-level remediation; sister products under the same holding company extend the compliance-fabric thesis into the EU CBAM and governance domains. Pre-revenue, design-partner pipeline forming via Ignite Sweden and AI Sweden.

Brand family — one platform, five surfaces

The ARIADA platform ships under one umbrella plus four marketplace standalones. All run on the same engine, all owned by the same legal entities, all governed by the same compliance disclosure ("we test, we control — not a legal certification body").

Partner ecosystem

ARIADA tests deployed surfaces and remediates findings at source. Regulator-facing dossier preparation — DPIA / FRIA / Annex IV / VPAT 2.5 / MDR Annex II / FDA PCCP and similar — is a separate workflow with a separate buyer (DPO / GC / CCO / Reg Affairs). For that we partner with sibling products under the same Agonist holding rather than build it ourselves; this keeps ARIADA on the right side of the audit-firm line we explicitly do not cross.

What we do, what we do not do

ARIADA tests deployed surfaces against eleven compliance axes and remediates findings at source through pull requests that the client merges. We test, we control.

ARIADA is not a legal certification body, not an audit firm, not a notified body, and not a registered auditor. We do not issue legally-binding compliance certificates. For regulatory submission — EAA notified-body certification, court-defensible VPAT, AI Act Article 50 attestation, SOC 2 Type II, and similar — customers consult an accredited audit body. ARIADA's measurement reports support that process; they do not replace it.

Source-level remediation is human-in-loop. Agentic suggestions are not autonomous deployments; pull requests require client merge. Detection lives on the deployed surface; remediation lives in the pull request — physically separated by Git itself.
