Who CRP Is For¶
Context Relay Protocol is built for teams that ship AI in production and need it to be coherent, governed, and compliant - without rebuilding infrastructure from scratch.
Developers & Engineering Teams¶
The problem: You want to add context management and safety governance to your AI features, but building it yourself takes quarters.
CRP gives you:
- One-line integration: Change base_url to https://gateway.crprotocol.io/v1
- Progressive SDK: Start with zero concepts, unlock depth when you need it
- Local-first: Runs on Ollama / LM Studio at $0 marginal cost
- Multi-provider: OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Bedrock, local - same interface
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI(base_url="https://gateway.crprotocol.io/v1", api_key="...")
# Every call is now risk-scored, audited, and compliance-classified
Enterprises & Regulated Companies¶
The problem: EU AI Act fines are up to €35M or 7% of global turnover. You need audit-ready evidence, not consultant PDFs.
CRP gives you: - EU AI Act Art. 6–17 coverage - risk classification, technical documentation, record-keeping, transparency, human oversight, accuracy - ISO 42001:2023 alignment - A.6.2.3–A.6.2.8 controls - Tamper-evident audit chain - HMAC-SHA256, per-window, never updated in place - Evidence packs - one-click regulator-ready bundles - SSO / SAML, data residency, private cloud
CISOs & Compliance Officers¶
The problem: You can't prove your AI system is safe because there's no runtime evidence.
CRP gives you: - Real-time risk scoring on every call - LOW / MEDIUM / HIGH / CRITICAL - Hallucination detection - 13-stage DPE pipeline - PII scanning - 7 categories, hashed never stored raw - Safety Policy enforcement - configurable halt levels - Compliance dashboard - live view of every governed call
Startups & Indie Builders¶
The problem: You need AI governance but can't afford enterprise tools or dedicated compliance staff.
CRP gives you: - Free tier: 100 governed calls/mo, no card required - Starter: $49/mo ($490/yr) - 5,000 calls, checkpoint inbox, evidence packs - No seat-based pricing - pay for usage, not headcount - One-person setup - configure safety policy via no-code console in minutes
AI Researchers & Data Scientists¶
The problem: You need to compare context strategies and reproduce results.
CRP gives you: - Built-in benchmarking - compare CRP vs RAG vs Injection vs Hierarchical - SQB harness - Semantic Quality Benchmark with per-window metrics - Reproducible pipelines - every run is HMAC-signed and auditable - Local models - test on Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM without API costs
Open Source & Standards Contributors¶
The problem: You want an open, vendor-neutral protocol for AI context and safety.
CRP gives you: - Open specification - 48 specs, CC BY 4.0 - Submitted to IETF, IANA, IEEE SA, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 42 - Reference implementation - Elastic License 2.0 - Conformance suite - test your implementation against the protocol
