The AI economy needs arbitration.

Every economic shift produced a layer no one had built yet. Industry needed accounting. The web needed TLS. Software needed source control.

When agents write the code, send the email, move the money, sign the deal — the question stops being can they? and starts being should they have? Without an answer, AI stays a demo. With one, it becomes infrastructure.

We named our model Vauben — for the engineer who designed both the fortress and the siege. Vauben does the work. Vauben judges the work. Vauben sits between agents when they trade work with each other. Same model, every layer.
