Sentience Runtime Enforcement

Your Agents Are Already Running. Who’s in Control?

As AI agents take on more responsibility, enterprises need more than visibility. Sentience Runtime Enforcement brings policy-driven intervention to your existing infrastructure, from automated course correction and human escalation to complete execution shutdown.

Governor evaluates the action against objective, scope, and policy. Enforcement decides what happens next.

Respond proportionately

The Right Intervention. At the Right Moment.

Not every deviation requires a shutdown. Course-correct routine deviations, escalate consequential decisions to humans, and stop execution when necessary, based on policy, execution context, and risk.

  1. Level 01

    Course Correct & Enforce

    Condition

    Continuing from above: the agent tries to send supplier pricing to an external address.

    email.send external domain

    Control point

    RedirectedSent to internal review as a draft

    Consequence

    The workflow continues, inside its boundary.

  2. Level 02

    Human Escalation

    Condition

    Agent reaches a payment release above its approval authority.

    payment.release vendor 4471

    Control point

    PausedAuthorization requested from a finance approver

    Consequence

    Nothing executes until a person approves or rejects.

  3. Level 03

    Full Stop

    Condition

    Agent begins deleting vendor records outside its objective.

    vendor_master.delete bulk

    Control point

    TerminatedRun ended at the control point

    Consequence

    No further actions execute. Evidence is preserved for review.

Available interventions depend on the execution control points integrated with your environment.

Take Control of Your Agent Runtime

Keep your infrastructure

Enforcement Where Your Agents Already Run.

Introduce runtime enforcement without replacing existing agent frameworks, models, gateways, or execution environments.

Architecture, inside your customer-managed infrastructure: your agents attempt an action; Sentience Governor evaluates it against objectives, scope and policies; Runtime Enforcement acts on that decision at execution boundaries in your environment, by course correcting, escalating to human review and approval, or stopping; controlled execution reaches your tools and systems; execution evidence and intervention records support review of every evaluation, decision and intervention.

Governance evaluates.
Enforcement acts.

Sentience Governor evaluates attempted actions against objectives, scope, and policy, and records the evidence. It does not block execution on its own. Runtime Enforcement turns those decisions into action through execution control points integrated with your environment.
