01
Research
Identify emerging governance failures and define the language needed to understand them.
COMPANY
Building the research, frameworks, and infrastructure for Runtime Governance.
AO Integrity is an independent research and product company focused on a fundamental question: how can an organization prove that authority remained valid when execution occurred?
The company develops original research, operating frameworks, and execution-time validation capabilities for organizations adopting AI agents, autonomous systems, and increasingly distributed forms of authority.
Research translated into execution.
AO Integrity studies the gap between granted authority and legitimate execution.
Our research examines how authority changes over time, why credentials and sessions can remain usable after their legitimacy has changed, and how organizations can produce evidence that execution remained authorized, attributable, and admissible.
That research informs the Runtime Governance framework and the development of ValidateAuthority.ai, an execution-time authority validation platform.

Frameworks
Translate evidence into operating models for authority, legitimacy, runtime risk, and continuous validation.
03
Platform
Operationalize the research through execution-time authority validation and evidence generation.
Founder
Justin Thornbladh
Ecosystem Builder | Enterprise GTM Strategist | Strategic Partnerships Executive
Justin Thornbladh has spent more than two decades building partnerships, opening complex enterprise organizations, and translating market discovery into go-to-market execution.
His work has included programs and commercial relationships involving Apple, BlackBerry, Nokia, Samsung, AT&T, T-Mobile, Assurant, and other global technology and telecommunications organizations.
His core strength is navigating large, complex enterprises to reach the right stakeholders, capture buyer language, identify where products and messaging fail to align with operational reality, and turn that discovery into stronger positioning, partnerships, and go-to-market strategy.
AO Integrity applies that same discipline to Runtime Governance: identify the problem through market evidence, define the operating language, validate the thesis with practitioners, and build the infrastructure required to address it.
