Archetypal / AI Risk Controls

Find the failure. Improve the control.

AI Risk Controls

Use Observe, Score, Enforce, and case review to identify policy gaps, unsupported outputs, and exceptions that need human attention.

01 / AI Risk Controls

Policy Enforcement

Apply approved Guarded rules to allow, warn, rewrite, block, or escalate a supported event, preserving the policy version and reason behind the action.

Explore Policy Enforcement
A civilian software engineer and Air Force colleagues in casual clothing discuss a software product beside shared workstations.

02 / AI Risk Controls

Precedent

Retrieve prior decisions with their conditions, dissent, and outcomes, then assess whether they apply to the present scenario.

Explore Precedent
A civilian software engineer discusses a project with an Air Force product manager at a shared computer desk.

03 / AI Risk Controls

Guarded Observe

Connect an inventory of AI applications to authorized activity signals, policy events, and documented monitoring coverage.

Explore Guarded Observe
Broadcast engineers monitor studio systems from a control room.

04 / AI Risk Controls

Assurance Scoring

Compare AI behavior against versioned requirements, inspect failure classes, and retain the context needed to interpret each score.

Explore Assurance Scoring
Civilian and uniformed cyber specialists take part in a collaborative tabletop exercise in a wood-paneled planning room.

05 / AI Risk Controls

Activity Attribution

Associate an observed AI event with its application, authorized identity, policy, and source information without overstating what the evidence establishes.

Explore Activity Attribution
Emergency operations personnel coordinate around tables and laptops beneath wall-mounted status screens.

06 / AI Risk Controls

Guarded Probe

Connect authorized environment signals to Guarded’s evidence record with explicit permissions, measured coverage, and known observation limits.

Explore Guarded Probe
A wide data center floor with server cabinets and overhead cable trays.

07 / AI Risk Controls

Decision Evidence

Retain source-linked decision receipts that connect the rule, decisive facts, enforcement outcome, reviewer, and conditions for use.

Explore Decision Evidence
A bundle of illuminated optical fibers in blue and white light.

Resources & collaboration

Bring the mission into the design.

Start with the workflow and the decisions it supports. Define what must remain under human authority and what evidence will be needed for review.
