Executive essentials — Fortune 500 briefing

Does it replace SITA?

No. SITA connects airport operations. BeeKeeper Assurance validates operational reality above SITA and airport systems — jet bridge inspections, baggage SLA, fuel reconciliation, contractor verification, and compliance evidence — without replacing operational software.

How does the 1% fee work?

After the 60-day Performance Evaluation, BeeKeeper Assurance invoices two independent 1.0% fee engines only on verified, human-approved events: the Performance Partnership Fee on verified financial improvements vs the WORM Operational Baseline, and the Operational Coordination Fee on qualifying external coordinated services. Customers pay vendors directly. Internal dashboards remain free.

How long does onboarding take?

Website analysis and intake can complete in one session. Full enterprise activation typically requires two to four weeks for connector credentials, security review, legal approval, and executive sponsor sign-off.

Why is it free?

Internal dashboards and operational visibility are free for your organization. During the 60-day Performance Evaluation you retain 100% of verified improvements. After evaluation, verified 1.0% Performance Partnership and Operational Coordination fees may apply per MSA Section 4 — not subscription or per-seat licensing.

Why only 1%?

Each Performance Partnership fee engine applies 1.0% independently on its own verified basis — financial improvements vs baseline, or external coordination events. Fees require evidence and human approval. They are not platform licenses. Customers continue to pay vendors directly.

Does it replace SAP?

No. BeeKeeper Assurance works above SAP, ServiceNow, Oracle, Microsoft, Salesforce, and industry platforms. It connects read-only wherever possible and coordinates assurance without ERP replacement or rip-and-replace.

Does it replace ServiceNow?

No. BeeKeeper Assurance connects read-only to ServiceNow for incident intelligence, evidence linking, and human-approved workflows. ServiceNow remains your system of record — BeeKeeper Assurance builds the operational story above it.

Does it replace Oracle?

No. BeeKeeper Assurance connects read-only to Oracle for financial records, asset data, and operational intelligence. Oracle remains your system of record — BeeKeeper Assurance builds the assurance story above it.

Does it replace MaintainX?

No. BeeKeeper Assurance overlays MaintainX and other CMMS platforms read-only. Maintenance workflows stay in MaintainX — BeeKeeper Assurance links work orders to evidence, AI Jury review, and executive dashboards.

How secure is it?

Tenant isolation, RBAC, SSO readiness, WORM audit trails, encryption, secret management, API security, connector permissions, and human approval gates are built into the architecture. Penetration testing is available during enterprise review.

Does CB ever hold customer money?

Never. Customers pay vendors directly using their own payment methods. BeeKeeper Assurance does not hold funds, process vendor payments, operate escrow, or take custody of customer money at any point. There is no Stripe dependency.

How long does deployment take?

Initial intake and website analysis can be completed in one session. Full pilot launch depends on connector credentials, security review, and legal approval — typically 2–4 weeks guided.

What industries are supported?

BeeKeeper Assurance supports logistics, maritime, manufacturing, utilities, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, retail food safety, agriculture, data centers, airports, cold chain, transportation, energy, and 24 enterprise sectors with industry-specific dashboards and narration.

How does AI Jury work?

AI Jury reviews operational discrepancies, compares evidence across systems, and recommends human-approved next steps. It does not autonomously execute actions or override accountable decision makers.

What is Executive Replay?

Executive Replay reconstructs operational history across disconnected systems — showing what would have been detected, validated, and sealed for board-level briefings.

What is WORM?

Write Once Read Many evidence storage seals approvals, documents, and operational events into an immutable audit chain for compliance, legal, and executive review.

What is a Digital Twin?

Digital Twin links assets to telemetry, evidence, maintenance records, and risk scores — giving executives a live operational picture without replacing CMMS or ERP.

What connectors exist?

ServiceNow, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Graph, Google Workspace, Salesforce, MaintainX, Samsara, Geotab, Project44, FourKites, IBM Maximo, Dynamics, NetSuite, REST APIs, SFTP, and IoT adapters.

How are vendors paid?

Customers pay vendors directly using customer-owned payment methods. BeeKeeper Assurance never holds funds, processes vendor payments, or takes custody of customer money.

Is BeeKeeper Assurance free?

Yes for internal use. Internal dashboards and operational visibility are free. During the 60-day Performance Evaluation you retain 100% of verified improvements. After evaluation, verified 1.0% fee lines may apply under the Performance Partnership model.

Why 1.0%?

The Performance Partnership uses two independent 1.0% engines after evaluation: verified financial improvements vs the WORM baseline, and verified external coordination events. Neither is a subscription or token fee. Customers continue to pay vendors directly.

Is there a subscription or per-seat license?

No subscription is required for internal dashboards, evidence visibility, AI Jury review, or executive replay. After the 60-day Performance Evaluation, commercial fees apply only to verified Performance Partnership and Operational Coordination events — not to internal user seats.

Does BeeKeeper Assurance move my money?

No. Customers pay vendors directly. BeeKeeper Assurance never holds funds, processes vendor payments, or takes custody of customer money. There is no Stripe dependency.

Are there hidden fees or token charges?

No token fees, no surprise platform licenses, and no mandatory marketplace markups. The Performance Partnership model is transparent: free internal use, 60-day evaluation with 100% customer retention of verified improvements, then verified 1.0% fee lines only.

Security

How is customer data protected?

Tenant isolation, RBAC, SSO readiness, encryption at rest and in transit, secret management via secure credential slots, connector permission scoping, WORM audit trails, and human approval gates protect every customer environment. Data remains in the customer tenant — not sold or repurposed for unrelated model training.

How secure is it?

Tenant isolation, RBAC, SSO readiness, WORM audit trails, encryption, secret management, API security, connector permissions, and human approval gates are built into the architecture. Penetration testing is available during enterprise review.

How secure is BeeKeeper Assurance?

Tenant isolation, RBAC, SSO readiness, API security policies, WORM audit trails, secret ID references (no hardcoded credentials), and human approval gates are built into the platform architecture.

Does BeeKeeper Assurance support SSO?

Yes. Enterprise SSO readiness is part of the security architecture. Customer IT configures identity provider integration during onboarding and connector activation.

How is tenant data isolated?

Each customer environment is logically separated with RBAC boundaries, credential slot references, and audit trails. Cross-tenant data access is prohibited by architecture.

Can we run penetration tests?

Yes. Enterprise customers may request security review packages, penetration test coordination, and evidence of control implementation during pilot onboarding.

Does BeeKeeper Assurance use controlled threat learning?

Yes. BKA may learn from validated attacker behavior, attempted bypasses, authorized threat intelligence, and confirmed incident outcomes. Candidate defenses are quarantined, shadow-tested, approved according to risk, versioned, monitored, and reversible. Learning does not let AI rewrite core authority controls or take uncontrolled high-consequence action. Sanitized patterns may improve defenses only when legally permitted; one customer cannot see what BKA learned from another.

Does BeeKeeper Assurance screen for sanctions and export controls?

Yes. BKA uses a documented, continuously updated sanctions and restricted-party compliance process designed to screen organizations, individuals, beneficial ownership, locations, end users, and intended uses against applicable official sources. Potential matches, licenses, exceptions, and ambiguous cases are routed for authorized human and legal review before activation or continued access. Application, signature, or payment does not authorize use. This is not a country blocklist and does not replace legal counsel.

AI

What does AI actually do?

AI compares evidence across ERP, ITSM, fleet, and field systems; detects discrepancies; scores confidence through the Cabinet of Enterprise Assurance Specialists; and recommends human-approved next steps. AI never autonomously executes actions or holds custody of funds.

How is AI used?

AI Jury reviews discrepancies across systems, compares evidence, and recommends human-approved next steps. AI does not autonomously execute actions, override decision makers, or train on customer data for unrelated purposes.

How does AI Jury work?

AI Jury reviews operational discrepancies, compares evidence across systems, and recommends human-approved next steps. It does not autonomously execute actions or override accountable decision makers.

Does AI act autonomously?

No. AI summarizes, detects discrepancies, and recommends. Human approval gates are required before operational or financial actions proceed.

What is AI confidence scoring?

AI Jury panels produce concurrence scores and confidence metrics that executives see alongside evidence bundles — designed for board-level clarity, not black-box automation.

Does BeeKeeper Assurance train on my data?

Customer operational data remains under customer control. AI processing is scoped to assurance workflows within the customer tenant — not sold or repurposed for unrelated model training.

Are connectors read-only?

Wherever possible, connectors operate read-only to reduce ERP risk. Write paths require explicit customer approval, security review, and documented business justification.

How do we activate connectors?

Through the Connect Your Systems page: customer IT provides credentials into secure slots, runs connection tests, and validates inbound data previews before production sync.

Can we use custom REST APIs?

Yes. REST, GraphQL, webhooks, SFTP, and file uploads are supported for systems without native adapters. Custom hooks are scoped per customer environment.

AWS

Where is BeeKeeper Assurance hosted?

Production architecture targets AWS with enterprise-grade infrastructure patterns: isolated environments, secret management, monitoring, and audit logging.

Can we choose AWS regions?

Enterprise pilots can discuss regional deployment requirements during security and legal review. Data residency expectations are documented in onboarding.

What is AWS Neural voice?

Executive narration uses AWS Polly neural voice presets for keynote-style presentations — selectable in the presentation engine with multiple executive voice profiles.

WORM

What is WORM evidence?

Write Once Read Many evidence storage seals approvals, documents, and operational events into an immutable audit chain for compliance, legal, and executive review.

How is WORM hash verification shown?

During presentations and executive replay, cryptographic hashes are displayed with verification status — demonstrating chain-of-custody integrity for auditors and legal teams.

How long is WORM evidence retained?

Retention policies align with customer compliance requirements and are configurable during enterprise onboarding. Immutable records are designed for long-term audit defensibility.

ROI

How is ROI calculated?

ROI surfaces verified savings from exception closure, procurement variance detection, risk mitigation, and operational efficiency — quantified for executive and CFO review.

When do customers see ROI?

Pilot quarters typically surface measurable exception resolution improvements. Executive Replay™ reconstructs historical value that would have been captured had the platform been active.

Can ROI be exported for the board?

Yes. Executive dashboards, replay summaries, and report exports support board briefings and investor presentations.

How does the marketplace fee work?

The 1.0% coordination fee applies to qualifying external services coordinated through the marketplace with verified evidence and human approval — not to internal procurement visibility.

Partner Program

What is the partner program?

Partners receive attribution, commission tracking, RFQ participation, and evidence-backed settlement records through the partner portal — with WORM audit context.

How do partners onboard?

Partners complete profile setup, compliance documentation, and integration with customer RFQ workflows. Commission and settlement batches are tracked in the partner dashboard.
