We control the levers so everyone else can live with AI.
SEARIN builds the severance layer for artificial intelligence — the physical and digital switch that cuts an AI system's power, compute, network, storage, credentials and replicas, on authority, with evidence.

Mission
Every AI system should have an off switch someone is allowed to pull.
Lifeforce is energy, compute, memory, data centres and connectivity. SEARIN meters all of it, scopes what may be severed, holds the keys with named people, and cuts in seconds — leaving a signed record anyone can audit.
The problem is structural, not seasonal
Regulators now require a human able to intervene and stop an AI system — the EU AI Act Article 14, California SB 53, frontier safety frameworks. Almost nobody can actually do it. The stop button is a policy document, not a circuit.
We sell the layer nobody else builds
Security vendors observe and alert. SEARIN severs. Power, compute, network, storage, credentials, replicas — metered, scoped, keyed and physically interruptible, with an evidence pack an auditor accepts.
Hardware plus recurring service
Units carry a ~68% gross margin at list. Every unit lands with a subscription for monitoring, rehearsed drills, custody evidence and certified maintenance — the revenue that compounds.
Three markets, one chain
Homes, companies and governments buy the same seven-stage severance chain at different authority models and price points, from $59 a month to sovereign programmes.
Market
Capital is flowing into controlling AI. Nobody owns the independent stop.
Based on public 2026 funding and acquisition announcements. These figures show investor appetite for AI control, not proven demand for SEARIN specifically.
$588M
Announced in eight selected 2026 rounds across AI security, agent control and physical-AI security
6+
AI-security acquisitions by large security vendors since late 2024
0
Funded companies found combining physical interlock, digital control, verification and restore in one system
Agent identity & permission tools
Can withdraw an agent's permissions — no independent physical path.
AI security platforms
Detect and block behaviour in software — the stop lives inside the stack it protects.
Emergency power off & e-stops
Cut electricity — no discovery, credential revocation, replica check or restore record.
Early hardware containment projects
Physical mechanism concepts at breadboard stage — no orchestration across infrastructure.
First market: bounded sites the customer controls — on-prem AI clusters, robotics test facilities and isolated operational systems. See Evidence & Scope.
Team
Who is building it.
Gavin Logan
Founder
Leads SEARIN's product, hardware programme and go-to-market. Set the founding principle the whole company is built on: containment must be physical, keyed and provable, not a setting in someone else's console.
Hiring
Founding engineering and certification hires
Power electronics, embedded firmware, compliance and certified field installation. Introductions from investors are welcome and are part of what we look for in a partner.
Roadmap
Where the money goes.
Now
REV-B production design
Four-board architecture, full bill of materials and build order published. Next: third-party electrical safety certification and a witnessed factory acceptance test.
Next
First certified installations
Certified installer and operator partners onboarded, with commissioning, rehearsal cadence and custody evidence delivered as a service.
Then
Sovereign programmes
Federated interlocks under n-of-m quorum authority, independent read-only audit channels and statutory sunset on every cut.
Straight answers before you ask
- SEARIN is pre-certification. The Mk.II REV-A is a bench prototype; no unit ships before third-party electrical safety certification.
- Case studies on this site are illustrative scenarios built from bench and drill data, not named customer deployments.
- Pricing, margins and build costs published here are engineering estimates and are open to scrutiny under NDA.
