Is Permaura worth running as a client service?

Permaura offers a credible governance layer for agencies running AI agents against client apps, with approval gates, signed audit trails, and an open-source gateway. Whether it produces a viable service depends on the agency's ability to migrate credentials, define permission policies, and measure delivery economics, none of which are priced in the available data.

An agency-fit judgement for reselling this service. It is separate from the tool description on the decision record.
