> Analyst competitive-landscape map for Agentic Governance™: how it relates to AI-governance, model-risk, and prompt-firewall categories — complementary inputs at a different altitude, not substitutes.

Analyst Briefing

# Where Agentic Governance™ sits among the categories.

A map for analysts who already track adjacent categories. **[Agentic Governance™](https://kyeprotocol.com/agent-governance-category/) is not a substitute for AI-governance, model-risk, or prompt firewalls** — it sits at a different altitude and consumes their signals as inputs to an authority decision.

[Category definition](https://kyeprotocol.com/agent-governance-category/) [Whitepaper](https://kyeprotocol.com/whitepaper/)

Agentic Governance ™ with Authority Finality ™ .

## The landscape

- **AI-governance** (model fairness, safety, policy) — answers “is the model well-behaved?”. Feeds the authority decision.
- **Model-risk** (SR 11-7 lineage) — validates models statistically. Orthogonal to runtime authority.
- **Prompt firewalls** (injection / jailbreak screening) — govern the prompt as input. A verdict feeds, but does not replace, the [prompt-as-authority-act](https://kyeprotocol.com/governed-prompts/) decision.
- **Agentic Governance™** — governs the authority behind the act and resolves it to finality.

## Why the altitude matters

A perfectly fair model can still take an unauthorised action; a validated model can still exceed its scope; a clean prompt can still spend authority it was never delegated. Each adjacent category closes a different gap. Agentic Governance™ closes the authority gap — and makes the closure provable.

## In closing

The dividing line across the whole map: every act has authority; every authority has finality.
