About Summit Cognitive
The standard description of the company — use the short version in a body paragraph, the long version in an "about" footer.
About — short (≈ 45 words)
Summit Cognitive, Inc. builds the runtime admissibility layer for AI in high-stakes decisions. Every governed action ships a Decision Receipt — a cryptographically signed, replayable, independently verifiable record of why an answer was allowed, revised, blocked, or escalated. The product is live in production.
About — long (≈ 130 words)
Summit Cognitive, Inc. is a Delaware C-Corporation building the runtime admissibility layer for AI in high-stakes decisions. Most organizations can tell you whether an AI system produced an output; almost none can prove that the output was decision-valid — authorized, evidence-linked, and policy-compliant — captured at the moment the decision was made. Summit closes that gap.
Every governed action ships a Decision Receipt: a cryptographically signed, replayable, independently verifiable record of why the answer was allowed, revised, blocked, or escalated. The product is live in production at decrec.summitcognitive.ai, with a public key and ledger anyone can use to verify a receipt independently. Summit's recurring concern is decision admissibility — the standard a consequential decision must meet to count as real once authority shifts from people to systems.
Both versions are cleared for verbatim use. "Decision Receipt" is the product name; please keep the initial capitals. Engineering performance figures (below) are audit-time measurements; some have since advanced.
Founder bio — Brian C. Long
Founder and CEO of Summit Cognitive. Short bio for a contributor line; long bio for a speaker program or feature.
Founder — short (≈ 40 words)
Brian C. Long is the founder and CEO of Summit Cognitive, where he is building the runtime admissibility layer for AI in high-stakes decisions. He brings more than two decades across cyber, media, and intelligence work, and is the author of the forthcoming Admissible Reality.
Founder — long (≈ 120 words)
Brian C. Long is the founder and CEO of Summit Cognitive, Inc., and the technical lead behind its Decision Receipt architecture. His work spans more than two decades across cyber, media, and intelligence — focused on institutional decision systems and the infrastructure that makes machine-mediated authority accountable. He is the sole founder of Summit Cognitive by design at this stage, and the author of the forthcoming book Admissible Reality, which makes the long argument behind the company's thesis: that a decision is legitimate not because it was authorized, but because it can be reconstructed, reviewed, and contested.
Please note: this Brian C. Long is distinct from the founder of Attentive / Adaptive Security. They are different people.

Web Summit Lisbon
In flightSpeaking slot being secured — not yet confirmed
Do not report the Web Summit Lisbon slot as confirmed — it is being secured. For financials, valuation, raise terms, customers, or partner names, contact us directly; none are published here, and none should be inferred. Engineering metrics are audit-time figures from late May to early June 2026 and some have since advanced.
Brand usage
A short set of notes so the name, mark, and color appear consistently. No downloadable brand assets are published on this page yet.
PRODUCT
The Decision Receipt
Decision Receipt is the product name — keep both initial capitals. It is the company's signed, replayable record of a decision. "Decision Receipt" is the approved public term; describe the underlying technology in plain language.
WORDMARK
The mark + wordmark
The mark is a single forward arrow rendered in the brand gold on a near-black tile, set beside the property name in spaced uppercase (e.g. PRESS · Summit Cognitive). Keep clear space around it; don't recolor or distort it.
SUMMIT COGNITIVE
COLOR
Brand gold & near-black
The accent is a muted gold, #d8b878, used against a near-black ground, #0b0a08. Type is set in a serif on dark. Use the gold sparingly — for the mark, accents, and emphasis, not for body text.
