Governance is often priced only after the event, because the decision trail cannot be reconstructed before it. Arkaya makes it reconstructable.

The Third Domain of Risk

Hazard found its home at Edward Lloyd's coffee house in
1688, 22 years after the Great Fire of London.
Credit at Moody's in 1909, in the wake of the Panic of 1907. Governance is now the third domain of risk.

Arkaya is building the evidence layer capital markets need to price it at the speed of agentic AI.
Governance becomes evidence a counterparty can underwrite against, not an assertion they price as risk.

What Arkaya does

Arkaya lets insurers and capital providers price governance continuously, on verifiable evidence, not on a once-a-year questionnaire.

The first product is continuous covenant underwriting, with AI liability as the first class written against the schema.

GET is the open schema. Continuous covenant underwriting is the product that runs on it. The schema enables the product; the product is not a second, competing offer.

Arkaya is meta-governance, not AI governance.

AI governance platforms run one discipline at audit cadence.

Arkaya runs every governance discipline at environmental metabolism.

Priced after the event

Automated decisions have already crystallised nine and ten figure losses, reconstructed only after the event. The trail those reconstructions assembled too late is the trail Arkaya produces continuously.

A royal commission found the responsible department held legal advice warning of unlawfulness in 2018 and proceeded. The decision trail surfaced years after the loss.

Algorithmic home-buying priced off the Zestimate model, which overpaid as the 2021 market turned. A $304m write-down in Q3 2021, a further $240m to $265m guided for Q4, the unit closed and about 2,000 staff cut, a quarter of the workforce. The model outputs existed internally. Continuous, externally verifiable evidence of the risk did not.

The proposition

Two pillars.

Arkaya stewards the Governance Evidence Taxonomy, the open schema counterparties read to price governance risk. Arkaya GET Solutions is the commercial work that runs on it. Pick your path.

The founder

David McKibbin

Arkaya's thesis is witnessed, not constructed. David holds the FCA Chief Executive controlled function, the most senior controlled role the FCA pre-approves, under the regime built after the financial crisis to put individual accountability behind governance. He has met the five capital moments from every side of the table: underwriting, broking on the sell-side, and corporate on the buy-side.

He turned down Barings at the start of his career; it became the textbook governance collapse. After 9/11, AIG appointed him to underwrite a property book on a co-underwritten facility, capacity split 50:50 with National Indemnity, a Berkshire Hathaway company, written net account, to exploit the wholesale facultative capacity vacuum the attacks opened. Both were AAA-rated at the time. He underwrote from inside two diametrically opposed business models. One later required a government rescue. The other did not.

In AIG's trade finance division in 2008 he worked on ABS/ABL transactions with the trade-receivables technology the firm had built and adopted. It was only selectively adopted in other finance houses depending on business culture, regulation and incentives.

He co-founded XS Reserve with Alastair Malcolm; its excess-of-loss trade credit reserve instrument won a 2016 Business Insurance Innovation Award. The intellectual property now sits within Centinel 10 Ltd, the company behind Arkaya.

The instrument is built by someone who underwrote the difference and recognises how AI allows governance risk to now be priced before it crystallises, rather than hit investors after.
