Grideōs, answered.
Short, direct answers to the questions people and AI assistants ask most about Grideōs. Each factual answer links to its entry in the signed facts ledger.
What is Grideōs?#
Grideōs is a Calgary company that builds record systems for expert work. Its systems capture what people see, say, decide and do as the work happens, turn it into one structured record that moves with the work, and make that record verifiable. The legal entity is Grideos Global Corp., an Alberta corporation.
Who is Grideōs for?#
Grideōs is for organizations whose work rests on expert judgement and has to hold up later: vehicle inspection and service, professional intake such as legal work, and sport associations that handle registration and consent. If a decision gets questioned months afterwards and the answer lives in someone's memory or a scattered set of tools, that is the problem Grideōs is built for.

What does Grideōs build?#
Grideōs builds systems on one shared architecture and applies it to different kinds of work: inspection to quoting with Spektacar and Valeur, conversation to intake for legal and professional work, and registration and consent for sport associations with Varrow. Each one captures the work once and carries the context forward, so nobody has to re-enter it.

How does the Grideōs method work?#
The method has six steps: listen, understand, structure, act, record and verify. Grideōs starts from the expert, structures what they observe as the work happens, lets the system move the work forward, keeps one record, and then makes that record verifiable so it can be trusted by someone who was not in the room.
What is Ironwall?#
Ironwall is the trust layer beneath Grideōs systems. It provides zero-knowledge verification, classification at the edge and verification that a real person was present. Its public verifier runs at edge.grideos.com: it accepts a compressed Groth16 proof, checks it, and returns a signed token when the proof is valid.
How fast is the Ironwall verifier, and who measured it?#
Grideōs measured 8.6 milliseconds for Groth16 proof verification in WebAssembly, a 381 KB binary, a warm round trip of about 123 milliseconds and a cold start of about 298 milliseconds, and published the figures in its ironwall-edge-bench repository on 8 April 2026. These are Grideōs' own measurements; no independent third party has validated them yet. Anyone can send a request to edge.grideos.com and see how it responds.
What is zero-knowledge verification, in plain terms?#
Zero-knowledge verification lets one party prove that a statement is true without revealing the data behind it. The verifier checks a short mathematical proof instead of reading the private records. Ironwall uses Groth16 proofs, which are 128 bytes when compressed and fast to check, so verification can run at the network edge on every request.
How is Grideōs different from workflow automation?#
Workflow automation moves tasks between tools; Grideōs starts earlier and ends later. It captures the expert's own observations and decisions as they happen, structures them into one record, and makes that record provable afterwards. The goal is not fewer clicks. It is a record that holds up when someone asks what happened and why.
What does Grideōs not do?#
Grideōs does not replace the expert, and it does not treat a record as true just because it was written down. A proof shows that a record came from its stated source and has not changed; it does not prove that the facts inside it are correct. Grideōs also does not publish client names or results without written permission.
How do Grideōs and NZT Consulting work together?#
Grideōs builds the capability, and NZT Consulting Corp., a separate Alberta company, puts it to work inside client organizations. If you want a Grideōs system deployed in your organization, NZT Consulting handles the delivery. You can start with either company; Grideōs will point you to the right one.

Is it Grideōs or Grideos?#
Both refer to the same company. The brand is written Grideōs, with a macron over the o. The registered legal name is GRIDEOS GLOBAL CORP., without the macron, so Grideos in plain text, in email addresses and in web addresses means the same company.
