Why GattyWorks is now a global AI and software audit studio
We still build fast. Audits now lead because a buyer should be able to prove what the software does.
Three audit tiers, public prices, and one test: can the buyer prove what the vendor or AI system does?
On 26 July 2026, GattyWorks stopped describing itself mainly as a studio that makes websites in 24 hours and MVPs in 48. We are now a global AI and software audit studio. We audit software, AI systems, data practices, vendor risk, and technology spend for businesses worldwide. The build services remain, but audits lead.
The buyer often has the least evidence
A polished product can hide basic unknowns. The buyer may not control the domain or cloud account. Encryption may be a sales claim with no configuration evidence. Backups may exist without a tested restore. An AI feature may send sensitive inputs to several providers while nobody can explain the logs or retention.
The useful question is not whether the vendor sounds credible. It is whether the buyer can prove what was built, where data goes, what can fail, who can recover it, and what the system costs to run.
The market already proves the parts
The market is real, but split into separate categories. Holistic AI audits AI systems and sells continuous AI governance. Software Improvement Group sells a fixed EUR 999 product risk scan with results in 24 hours, plus broader software assurance. Vanta automates compliance evidence and third-party risk. CloudZero connects cloud and AI spend to engineering decisions and savings.
Those are strong, established offers. They also show the gap we want to serve. A startup or growing business may need a slice of software assurance, AI governance, privacy readiness, vendor continuity, and cost review without buying five platforms or starting a large consulting project.
Three depths, with public starting prices
The report separates evidence from assumption. A finding can be supported, unsupported, contradicted, or not testable in scope. Material findings receive senior human review.
claim: backups run daily
evidence: scheduled snapshots exist
missing: no restore test
verdict: backup claim supported; recovery unprovenFull audits can include AI systems, privacy readiness, governance, vendor continuity, and technology spend. The exact modules and evidence request are set privately in the written quote. This is a point-in-time technical assessment, not an AI safety guarantee, legal opinion, penetration-test attestation, or certification.
Technology spend belongs in the same report
A system can be secure and still shorten the company's runway. The Full Audit reviews itemised cloud and SaaS spend against usage, reliability needs, contracts, and architecture. Each opportunity includes estimated monthly and annual savings, implementation effort, risk, and payback against the audit fee.
The aim is for the audit to pay for itself when real waste exists. That is an aim, not a promise. A cheaper database, model, storage tier, or SaaS plan can trade away support, performance, security, or migration time. The client approves every change.
India is the base, not the market boundary
GattyWorks operates from Mangalore and Bangalore and works worldwide. For India-facing systems, Full can map observable controls to DPDPA readiness. For EU and UK clients, restricted personal data is accessed from India only after the required data-processing and transfer terms are in place. Readiness mapping is not legal advice.
We still build
Websites in 24 hours, focused MVPs in 48, and custom AI workflows remain part of GattyWorks. Audits now lead because they answer the question that should come first: what do we own, trust, risk, and spend?
A client can take the report to its current vendor, another studio, an internal team, or GattyWorks. Remediation is separately scoped. The report must be useful even when we do not get the build.
