DCG — Decision Contract Governance
Define, prove, and govern decision authority before any system executes.
Development
DCG (Decision Contract Governance) is an authoring, validation, and governance system for decision authority. It provides a structured way to define what a system is allowed to decide, under what conditions, with what evidence, and with what escalation requirements—before any runtime logic is executed. DCG produces deterministic decision contracts as formal artifacts. Each contract is validated for completeness, simulated against real and refusal scenarios, and exported as a canonical, machine-readable specification with cryptographic integrity guarantees. These artifacts are immutable, versioned, and replayable by design. DCG does not execute decisions. It defines and governs them. The resulting contracts can be enforced by downstream runtimes—including DecisionLoop (DDR), policy engines, or custom application logic—ensuring that live systems act only within explicitly approved decision authority.
Design
DCG is designed as a governance surface, not a dashboard. Its structure reflects how real decision authority is created, reviewed, and approved—explicitly, deliberately, and with traceability at every step. The design prioritizes clarity over abstraction. Decision scope, authority boundaries, escalation paths, and refusal conditions are all modeled directly and visibly. There is no hidden logic, probabilistic behavior, or inferred intent. Every decision contract is readable, inspectable, and explainable by both technical and non-technical stakeholders. DCG avoids AI theater by design. It does not simulate intelligence; it enforces accountability. The interface exists to guide users through defining and validating decision authority, ensuring that what a system may decide is fully understood before it is ever deployed.
Marketing
DCG is built for product leaders, engineering teams, and organizations operating in environments where decision authority must be explicit, reviewable, and defensible before systems are allowed to act. It serves teams who cannot rely on informal logic, scattered policies, or post hoc explanations—teams that need to prove, in advance, what a system is permitted to decide and under what conditions. DCG enables organizations to model, validate, and govern decision contracts as first-class artifacts, independent of any specific runtime or platform. Rather than selling automation or intelligence, DCG provides control. It produces auditable decision contracts that can be reviewed by leadership, compliance, legal, and engineering alike, then exported for enforcement across existing systems. This makes DCG a foundational governance layer for autonomous systems, not a replacement for them. We work with teams who are serious about scaling autonomy without sacrificing accountability—where "the system decided" is never an acceptable explanation on its own
Define and validate decision authority as a governed artifact—before it enters any production system.
