Lodestone Horizons
About Us

Finding true north in a directionless regulatory landscape.

The name comes from the lodestone — the magnetized rock early navigators trusted before modern instruments existed. IEEE standards play the same role today: rigorous, ratified, and built by the bodies regulators themselves cite.

Why we exist

Lodestone Horizons builds compliance APIs directly against the IEEE standards regulators already cite — for age verification, AI explainability, and privacy consent. Our team brings over a decade of hands-on experience working with IEEE standards, so when we say a product is built to spec, it's backed by real depth, not a weekend read of the document.

Compliance software is one of the few categories where the buyer has no choice, can't build it themselves in time, and faces a penalty written into law if they don't act. Lodestone's job is to make the relevant standard operational: not to write about compliance, but to ship the API that proves it.

Experienced

Backed by more than ten years working hands-on with IEEE standards — we know these documents inside and out.

Standards-first

Every product is built against the exact IEEE standard the regulation points to, not a generic interpretation of "best practice."

Deadline-driven

We build for laws with real enforcement dates, not hypothetical future regulation.

Audit-ready

Output is structured, evidence-grade compliance documentation — not a checkbox or a whitepaper.

What We Build Today

Three compliance APIs, each mapped to a standard regulators already point to.

GATE — Age Verification

Maps platform type, jurisdiction, and verification method to a compliance verdict, gap list, and penalty exposure.

Built on IEEE 2089.1-2024

LENS — AI Explainability

Maps SHAP/LIME output to EU AI Act and NIST AI RMF evidence requirements.

Built on IEEE 2894-2024

VEIL — Privacy Consent

Negotiates a binding, machine-readable privacy agreement between your platform and your users.

Built on IEEE 7012-2025
