PolicyPilot Auditor
A pre-deployment testing service that puts your AI agent through hundreds of simulated employee scenarios against your real company handbook and tells you exactly which policies it will break.
Chief Compliance Officers and HR Operations leaders at mid-market companies rolling out AI agents for HR, finance, or support
- Uploads your company's handbook and generates a tailored scenario suite across HR, finance, IT, and customer cases
- Grades each agent against a deterministic rubric the same way an auditor would, with pass/fail per policy
- Produces a 'break-it-before-you-ship' report with the exact dialogue that caused each violation
- Continuous re-test when you update either the handbook or the underlying model
The HANDBOOK.md benchmark shows even the best agents follow policy only ~36% of the time under strict grading — most companies are about to deploy agents that will fail in obvious ways.
HANDBOOK.md benchmark confirms the failure mode (frontier models score under 25% on strict pass@1, with real examples like unauthorized terminations), and Microsoft, AI Policy Desk, and Pedowitz all document active concern from HR/compliance leaders around agent deployment policy violations.HANDBOOK.md Benchmark: Can AI Agents Follow a 100-Page Company Policy? ↗AI Agent Workforce Policy: Template for HR… · AI Policy Desk ↗
General AI agent governance/testing is crowded — Superblocks lists 9 platforms, plus Noma, Mindgard, Holistic AI, General Analysis, Microsoft toolkit, Giskard — but they center on security/red-teaming rather than company-handbook-driven scenario simulation, leaving a partially open niche.9 Best AI Agent Governance Platforms in 2026 - superblocks.com ↗Holistic AI - The Leading AI Governance Platform ↗
Adjacent Red-Team-as-a-Service vendors quote $16K–$100K per engagement and per-test fees $8K–$150K; enterprise compliance budgets are well-funded and CCOs already pay for pre-deployment testing analogs (pen tests, SOC audits).AI Red Teaming Vendor Pricing: What You'll Actually Pay in 2026 ↗AI Red Team Security Pricing - Autonomous Red Team AI Agent ↗
Agent deployment is accelerating across HR/finance/support under tightening compliance regimes (NIST, EU AI Act, sector rules) — policy-compliance testing is structurally required, not a fashion; HANDBOOK.md's release and Microsoft's open-source governance toolkit indicate this is becoming standard infrastructure.HANDBOOK.md Benchmark | Surge AI ↗Govern and secure AI agents AI agents across the organization - Cloud ... ↗
Surge AI has already shipped a working version of this exact pipeline (handbook parsing across PDF/Word/HTML, RL environments with MCP tools, deterministic rubric grading) — proves the core is buildable, though turning it into a customer-facing SaaS with per-customer handbooks and agent-agnostic connectors is non-trivial.GitHub - surge-ai/handbook ↗
