Independent certification authority and policy enforcement infrastructure. We verify skills before they execute.
Robots are entering commercial pilots across logistics, manufacturing, and defense. Global humanoid production is scaling rapidly, with units doubling year-over-year.
Vendor skills are self-certified with no independent audit trail. When a robot executes a task, no third party has verified the code is safe, compliant, or reliable.
As ecosystems open and third-party skills proliferate, unverified code executing physical actions creates systemic risk. The industry lacks a trust layer.
Identity management defined cloud computing. Security standards defined payments. Governance will define robotics.
As humanoid platforms open their ecosystems to third-party skills and applications, the industry faces a critical inflection point—who certifies the software that controls physical machines?
MekonBot is building the infrastructure layer for certification, control, and audit of robotic skills across hardware platforms. An independent authority that sits between the application layer and the machine—verifying, enforcing, and logging every action before it executes.
Application Layer
Robot Skills & Third-Party Apps
MekonBot Layer
Policy Engine & Enforcement
Hardware Layer
Robot OS & Physical Systems
Four sequential layers of verification, certification, enforcement, and audit.
Developers define capabilities, force limits, operational boundaries, and hardware requirements in a structured manifest before deployment.
MekonBot cryptographically signs the skill after validating the manifest against facility policies, safety standards, and hardware specs.
At runtime, every action is checked against certified policies. The engine evaluates force, speed, proximity, and operational context—allowing or denying in real time.
Every enforcement decision, policy evaluation, and action outcome is recorded to a cryptographically signed, append-only log—providing full liability protection.

Third-party "Pallet Stacking" skill loaded
A vendor-supplied skill is deployed directly to the robot with no independent review. The manifest is self-certified by the vendor.
Skill exceeds force limits during execution
The stacking routine applies 340N of force—well above the 250N safety threshold—with no runtime check or policy boundary in place.
Physical damage to goods and equipment
Crushed pallets, damaged inventory, and a conveyor belt jam halt the production line for 6+ hours. Estimated loss: $180K+.
Manufacturer held liable
Without independent verification, the robot manufacturer bears full legal responsibility. Insurance disputes follow.
No independent logs exist
Forensic investigation stalls—there is no third-party audit trail, no policy record, and no enforcement history to review.
Pre-flight manifest verification
Before deployment, MekonBot validates the skill manifest against facility policies, hardware specs, and safety thresholds. Only certified skills proceed.
Runtime enforcement of force policies
MekonBot's policy engine monitors force output in real-time against the 250N threshold. Every action is bounded by certified limits.
Action blocked when limits exceeded
At 251N the skill is suspended mid-execution. The robot enters a safe-stop state. No physical damage occurs. Operations resume with a compliant fallback.
Audit trail legally documents the incident
A cryptographically signed, immutable log captures every decision: the policy that triggered, the force reading, the block action, and the timestamp—admissible in any dispute.
Three compounding revenue streams that scale with every robot deployed, every skill certified, and every policy enforced.
Revenue generated each time a skill version is certified against a facility's policy set. Pricing is tiered by skill complexity and associated physical risk profile.
Subscription-based access to the runtime enforcement engine, continuous policy updates, and managed infrastructure for real-time skill governance at scale.
Premium audit logs, legal-grade reporting, and compliance dashboards tailored for industrial insurance requirements and evolving regulatory frameworks.
Category-defining infrastructure earns compounding returns. The numbers reflect a market waiting for its governance standard.
Projected certified skills (mid-term)
As humanoid platforms proliferate, skill demand grows exponentially. Each robot deployment requires dozens of independently certified skills across manipulation, navigation, and safety domains.
Cumulative certification revenue potential
Compounding per-skill fees at scale generate significant recurring revenue. As the install base grows and re-certification cycles compound, revenue accelerates non-linearly.
Typical infrastructure SaaS valuation multiple
Mission-critical infrastructure SaaS with high retention and regulatory lock-in commands premium multiples. Analogous to PCI-DSS, identity management, and compliance platforms.
Three phases from standard definition to global infrastructure. Each milestone compounds the moat.
