Vector Decisions.

Decision infrastructure for the moment between intelligence and action.

AI can generate an answer. An agent can propose an action. Vector Decisions asks the harder question: is this action authorized, supported, appropriate, and safe under these conditions?

The first primitive is deliberately small and deterministic. It evaluates identity, delegated scope, authority windows, evidence, policy, consequence and human-gating rules, then produces a decision trace.

The primitive

From context to governed action.

01ContextWhat is happening here, now?
02AuthorityWho delegated the ability to act?
03EvidenceWhat supports the proposed action?
04PolicyWhat is permitted, prohibited, or gated?
05RiskWhat is the consequence if this is wrong?
06DecisionWhat should happen under these conditions?
07ActionHow does the decision become enforceable?
Decision vocabulary

Not every answer is “yes” or “no.”

ALLOWRESTRICTREQUIRE HUMANDENYESCALATEROUTESUBSTITUTE

A governed system can restrict scope, demand a human, escalate to another authority, route to a different capability, or substitute a safer action.

Prototype

Run the first decision.

Live policy evaluation

Should this agent be allowed to act?

Change the inputs. Vector Decisions evaluates authority, evidence, policy, consequence and context together.

No decision yet

The output is a governed decision, not a generated answer.

Run the example to produce a deterministic decision trace.

Architecture

The system underneath.

GATRIAction assurance
Vector DecisionsContext → decision
EnforcementDecision → reality
GIRLIntelligence → routing

GATRI and GIRL remain separate architectural directions. This page establishes the decision primitive first, so later assurance and routing systems have a stable vocabulary.

What this is not

Not an “AI trust score.”

Not an LLM pretending to be a policy engine.

Not an autonomous execution gateway yet.

Not a replacement for security, legal, compliance, or human accountability.

This is the first public proof of the idea: authorization should be evaluated at the point of action, using explicit context, evidence, authority and policy.

Next layer

GATRI turns decision into assurance.

The next stage is infrastructure that can attest that the authority used by a decision was valid, scoped, current and attributable — and eventually make that evidence enforceable at execution time.
