NorthGate Strategic ships three coordinated AI products for teams running AI in production. AIREC is the evidence and policy runtime that records what AI was asked to do, who approved it, and what proof came back. TrustSHIELD defends 20+ AI chat surfaces — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, and more — for regulated teams. FlightDeck directs AI engineering work from one operator console. Each product stands alone. Together they share one hash-chained audit trail.
Each runs standalone with its own license. Bought together, they coordinate over one hash-chained audit trail — the brain to govern AI work, the voice to defend AI chat, and the hands to direct AI engineering.
The runtime that records what AI was asked to do, who approved it, what changed, and what proof came back. ~260K-LOC enforcement and audit substrate: trust scoring, AISAL gating, prompt-injection defense, evidence pack generator, and an MIT-licensed offline verifier anyone can run.
Defends 20+ AI chat surfaces — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, and more — through a Chrome extension, five SDK shims (Node + Python for Anthropic, OpenAI, Cohere, Gemini, Mistral), and MDM templates for Windows/Intune. Inline injection blocking, PII redaction, policy enforcement.
The local-first console for directing AI engineering work — Claude, Codex, Cursor, and other agents — across project folders, repos, app exports, and workflows. Hash-chained mission record, dispute-resolution authority layer, and signed evidence packs at project close.
A useful AI system is not just a model response. It is context, authority, evidence, drift control, and a chain of decisions the owner can inspect later.
FlightDeck is designed around the operator's project folder, repo, evidence, and agent history. The owner stays in charge of what leaves the machine.
Agents should not disappear into separate chat windows. The work needs dispatch records, returns, audit notes, and disagreement handling in one place.
The AIREC layer is aimed at signed audit chains, proof packs, forensic confidence, and policy gates that boards, buyers, and reviewers can understand.
NorthGate is early and direct by design. The team combines product architecture, executive go-to-market leadership, finance, and regulated-market execution.
Founder and primary architect behind FlightDeck, TrustSHIELD, and AIREC. Thirty years across technology and operations leadership — multi-fold scale-up at a regional services business as VP, eleven years running an independent technical consulting practice, then national account work before founding NorthGate Strategic in 2025. Drives the product build, patent portfolio, and the system design connecting agentic engineering to governed AI operations.
CEO and go-to-market leader. Experience across managed IT, procurement, enterprise accounts, semiconductor IP licensing (Western Design Center), and business development. Drives buyer strategy, partner momentum, and investor-facing execution.
CPA and finance executive. Twenty years across national and local accounting firms, CFO experience in a 1,000+ employee wholesale and retail company, and fifteen years as president of a nationwide construction company. Fractional CFO today; transitions to dedicated finance leadership at scale.
