Product
The OntoGuard Decision Authorization Platform is the complete operating environment: exact-action ALLOW / BLOCK / ESCALATE plus human review, governance evidence, semantic analysis, controlled testing, reporting, and operational oversight.
Need Decision Authorization directly inside an execution path? Explore the Headless Runtime.
Platform and Runtime share the same Decision Authorization core. They are different operating surfaces — not two inventions, and not Basic versus Pro.
Platform is how an organization operates Decision Authorization. Runtime is how Decision Authorization is embedded in an execution path.
Capabilities
Approval Desk, qualified human review, assignment and closure, structured overrides, evidence additions, semantic contests, review-gated release, and decision closure evidence.
Headless can return ESCALATE. The Platform operates the escalation lifecycle.
Governance reports, buyer and audit PDFs, Decision Authorization Packets, receipts and manifests, evidence packages, artifact validation, and portable audit export.
Headless authorizes. The Platform packages the operating evidence around that authorization.
Multi-case assessment, representative workflow intake, corridor analysis, structured file intake, per-case and aggregate results, and readiness analysis for a controlled pilot.
Intent continuity, semantic projection, governing-basis analysis, longitudinal behavioral governance, drift, evidence sufficiency, and domain or jurisdiction resolution.
Ontology, retrieval, and longitudinal state are mechanisms supporting Decision Authorization. They are not the product category.
Scenario simulation, benchmark execution, replay, independent verification, controlled pressure testing, decision integrity checks, and policy or behavioral testing before a route is connected.
Governance dashboards, audit and review history, retention, operational lifecycle, controlled evidence management, readiness monitoring, and administrative controls.
