About the Project

An independent research effort on automation evidence, privacy-preserving governance, and AI agent oversight.

Evidence systems under study

New evidence, privacy, and agent-control features now implemented.

The latest backend work strengthens enterprise-grade governance: tamper-evident audit records, cryptographic key rotation, encrypted sensitive fields, GDPR rights workflows, resource mutation evidence, and an AI Agent Registry.

Tamper-Evident Audit Chainaudit_events
Hash chain + HMAC signatures

Gives enterprise reviewers a verifiable sequence of actions instead of a loose activity log that can be rewritten after the fact.

HMAC Key Rotationsigning_keys
Versioned signing keys

Lets the audit chain keep cryptographic continuity while keys evolve, which matters for long-lived regulated environments.

continuity
P01
Encrypted PII With Lookup Hashessensitive_fields
Fernet fields + companion hashes

Protects sensitive identity fields while preserving operational search and ownership lookup without exposing plaintext.

privacy

GDPR Data-Subject Rightsprivacy_requests
Export + erasure router

Supports export and erasure workflows so privacy review is part of the platform architecture, not a manual afterthought.

Turns creates, updates, deletes, executions, toggles, acknowledgements, and remediations into reviewable tenant-scoped evidence.

Agent registry API + UI

Creates a controlled inventory for autonomous agents so organizations can study ownership, access, lifecycle, and operational state.

Non-commercial research project

meghIQ is currently maintained as an independent, uncompensated research project. The maintainer receives no financial compensation, royalties, or equity payouts from the project.

The platform is shared with a limited group of research collaborators for evaluation and feedback. No commercial sales, paid subscriptions, licensing, or paid services are offered at this time.

Any future commercialization, hiring, or business operations are conditional on future regulatory milestones and are not currently in effect.

Research background

Background

meghIQ began from a recurring observation in enterprise environments: as organizations adopt AI-driven automations across SaaS platforms, cloud functions, and internal systems, they accumulate hundreds or thousands of workloads that nobody fully owns, inventories, or attributes cost to.

The downstream effects are well-documented in industry reporting on AI infrastructure cost overruns at large enterprises: duplicate spend, unattributed compute, compliance gaps discovered only during audits, and a missing audit trail for autonomous agents acting in production systems.

This project investigates open research questions in three areas — discovery and cataloging of AI workloads, tamper-evident evidence, and privacy-preserving governance and oversight. The work is conducted as an independent, uncompensated research effort and shared with research collaborators on a no-fee basis.

meghIQ is not currently offered as a commercial product or service. No paid subscriptions, licenses, or transactions are available. Any future commercialization is conditional on future regulatory milestones and is not in effect at this time.

Operating principles

How the Project Operates

The principles that guide how this research is conducted

Open Research

The work is conducted openly as an independent research effort. Documentation, architecture notes, and findings are shared with collaborators.

Collaborator-Driven

Research direction is informed by the practitioners and researchers participating in the beta program — not by sales targets.

Iterative Investigation

Prototypes are built quickly, tested with collaborators against real workload data, and revised based on what the results show.

Transparency

The project's non-commercial status, scope, and research framing are stated plainly on every page of this site.

Project Status

Research Question

What this project investigates

How can enterprises discover, evidence, and govern AI-driven automations operating across SaaS, cloud, and homegrown stacks while preserving privacy-sensitive ownership data?

Future Direction

Conditional on milestones

Any future commercialization, hiring, or business operations are conditional on future regulatory milestones and are not currently in effect. Collaborators will be notified of any such transition.
