## Executive Summary

Many newer AI-guardrail vendors sell features a competitor can copy in a quarter. Alice, the renamed ActiveFence, carries two things rivals cannot code around. Rabbit Hole is its decade-long private store of billions of adversarial and abusive interactions in more than 120 languages. And eight years catching harmful content for platforms like Amazon and TikTok put its protection inside seven of the ten largest foundational AI models, per its own pages. Neither can be reproduced by writing software. The catch is validation. Alice's roots are UGC trust and safety, and although its own pages describe the corpus as covering jailbreaks and prompt injection, no independent evidence yet validates its efficacy against agent-era threats.
