Alloy is the operating layer, not another bundled custody choice.

Use Alloy when you want provider portability, modular controls, and audit evidence without moving custody into a new bundled platform.

Positioning: Never pitch Alloy as cheaper. The point is modular, right-sized control above the custody layer.

Tradeoff

Alloy is a control-plane bet.

You keep provider choice and build durable operating workflows above custody, with the cost of integrating a new control layer deliberately.

Evidence

Proof the buyer can inspect.

Every route keeps Alloy's public story grounded in operating records, custody boundaries, and right-sized modules.

Provider optionality Avoid encoding business workflows into one provider.
Right-sized modules Adopt the controls you need when the workflow demands them.
Audit independence Evidence is not trapped inside one provider console.
Next step

Bring your current provider stack.

We will map the first workflow Alloy should stabilize, the custody boundary, and the modules that create evidence.
