Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Ninchi — the governance layer for AI-generated work.
What is Ninchi?
Ninchi is the governance layer for AI-generated work. It integrates into enterprise workflows and verifies that humans understand, review, and stand behind AI-assisted outputs — creating auditable records of accountability at every step.
What problem does Ninchi solve?
Ninchi helps organizations safely scale AI adoption by creating auditable records of human understanding and decision-making around AI-generated work. As AI outputs scale faster than enterprise controls, Ninchi fills the governance gap.
Does Ninchi slow down AI adoption?
No. Ninchi is designed to accelerate safe AI adoption by adding accountability and auditability with minimal workflow disruption. Think of it like anti-lock brakes — the existence of safety infrastructure lets you move faster with confidence.
Is Ninchi an AI detection tool?
No. Ninchi is focused on human accountability and understanding — not detecting whether AI was used. The goal is to ensure humans understand and can explain the AI-assisted work they produce, regardless of how it was created.
Who is Ninchi for?
Ninchi is built for:
- Engineering teams using AI coding tools
- Enterprises adopting AI across operations
- Educational institutions maintaining academic integrity
- Knowledge workers producing AI-assisted reports and analyses
- Any organization that needs accountability around AI-generated work
What is the Ninchi Score?
The Ninchi Score measures demonstrated understanding and accountability around AI-assisted work. Organizations can use it as an internal governance signal and an external trust signal — demonstrating responsible AI adoption to stakeholders, auditors, and regulators.
Can Ninchi help with compliance and auditability?
Yes. Ninchi creates granular, timestamped records of human verification, review, and understanding around AI-generated outputs. These records are designed to support compliance with emerging regulatory frameworks including the EU AI Act.
Is Ninchi SOC 2 certified?
Ninchi is currently in the process of obtaining SOC 2 certification. Our infrastructure and internal controls are already designed against SOC 2 expectations — encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access controls, least-privilege service accounts, and audit logging. We're happy to share our current security posture and progress with prospective enterprise customers under NDA. Reach out at jon@ninchi.ai.
Can developers just cheat?
Ninchi includes configurable anti-cheat measures on Pro and Enterprise tiers. No verification tool is infallible, but Ninchi is designed to make circumvention inconvenient rather than impossible.
Even when users seek outside help, the process of engaging with the verification question creates meaningful learning — a net positive for the organization.

How is this different from code review?
Code review checks whether the code is correct. Ninchi checks whether the author understands the code. In AI-assisted workflows, it's increasingly possible to submit code that works without fully understanding why. Ninchi adds a lightweight verification at that point.
What integrations are supported?
Currently supported:
- GitLab — live
- GitHub — live and expanding
- LMS platforms — in development
- Enterprise workflows — expanding
Do you store my code?
No. Ninchi is code-aware, not code-retentive. Code is processed transiently to generate verification questions. Raw source code is not stored long-term. Only derived metadata (questions, answers, scores) is retained in encrypted systems with enterprise-grade security.
See our Data Handling & Security page for details.

Are you training models on my code?
No. We do not train models on customer code and we do not share code across organizations.
Can Ninchi guarantee that someone fully understands their work?
No — and no verification tool can. Like code coverage, security scans, or compliance audits, Ninchi creates useful data points and builds confidence, not ironclad guarantees. It provides a verifiable record of demonstrated knowledge — which is far better than no record at all.
What's the long-term vision?
Ninchi is building enterprise AI trust infrastructure. Today that starts with software engineering workflows. Over time, it expands to education, enterprise operations, and any domain where AI-assisted work needs human accountability.
In an age where AI helps create more of our work, humans should still understand and stand behind it.
