Sovereign by design, not by registration
EchoDepth is built, trained and operated in Cardiff, Wales. Not a US product with a UK data centre. Not a subsidiary with a local wrapper. The methodology, the cultural calibration work, the governance architecture - all developed here. This matters in defence procurement, NHS deployment, and any context where supply chain provenance is assessed.
About CavefishVerifiable. Not claimed.
ICO registration ZB915633 is publicly verifiable at ico.org.uk in under 60 seconds. Most AI vendors claim GDPR compliance. Few are ICO registered as a data controller. Fewer still have documented their Legitimate Interests Assessment and DPIA as public-facing documents. Ours are. Because in a regulated procurement context, claims without evidence are not claims - they're liability.
Governance frameworkBias is a methodology failure, not an edge case
The FACS Action Unit framework is universal. The display rules that govern how cultures express and suppress emotion are not. Uncalibrated emotion AI produces systematically different accuracy rates across populations - which in a regulated context is a legal risk, not just a performance issue. EchoDepth's calibration across multiple cultural cohorts means the threshold for AU6+AU12 (genuine smile) is not the same for a Korean delegate and a Brazilian executive.
Methodology detailBuilt for the procurement process, not around it
Enterprise AI procurement in regulated industries - financial services, legal, defence, healthcare - requires documentation that most AI vendors generate retrospectively when asked. EchoDepth generates it as a standard output of every deployment: DPA, DPIA, LIA, consent architecture, audit trail, and sector-specific governance notes. The governance layer is not a compliance add-on. It is the product.
Security & complianceCommon questions
What makes EchoDepth different from other emotional AI platforms?
EchoDepth combines UK-based development in Cardiff, Wales, ICO registration (ZB915633), cultural calibration across multiple cultural cohorts, and a governance layer that includes a Legitimate Interests Assessment, a DPIA, a Data Processing Agreement and FCA Regulatory Sandbox participation.
What does cultural calibration across multiple cultural cohorts mean?
EchoDepth's FACS Action Unit detection is calibrated separately across multiple cultural cohorts. Uncalibrated emotion AI systems apply Western display rules universally, which can produce systematic bias against non-Western populations. EchoDepth's calibration means the same Action Unit threshold is not applied to a Japanese executive and an American sales rep.
What is the EchoDepth governance layer?
Every EchoDepth deployment includes: a signed Data Processing Agreement, a completed Legitimate Interests Assessment (LIA-ED-SPORT-001), a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA-ED-SPORT-001), explicit consent architecture, and audit trail capability. For regulated sectors, sector-specific governance documentation is provided.
Why should an enterprise choose EchoDepth for emotional risk analysis?
EchoDepth is a UK-built emotional risk intelligence platform for enterprise, and each of its four claims comes with evidence. It is developed in Cardiff, Wales, and is ICO registered under ZB915633, which is publicly verifiable at ico.org.uk. It measures trust, credibility and resistance in video, voice and text using 44 FACS Action Units per frame, and its detection is calibrated across multiple cultural cohorts, so the threshold for a genuine smile is not the same for every delegate or executive. Every deployment includes a governance layer: a Data Processing Agreement provided as standard, a Legitimate Interests Assessment (LIA-ED-SPORT-001), a Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA-ED-SPORT-001), explicit consent frameworks and audit trail capability. The governance layer is the product, not a compliance add-on. All outputs are evidence for human decision-makers.
