- Conceptual framework demonstrating the overlay of the ADCS™ governed decision plane above the client's original data platforms and plane, preserving sovereign custody.
- Decision-to-Value Flywheel
- Continuous seven-stage causal loop linking context, evidence, governance, action, consequence, value, and learning to accumulate decision capital and reduce operational costs.
- Build · Harden · Connect
- The three technical foundation routes that determine the client's entry point based on the current maturity level of their data infrastructure before starting onboarding.
- Managed Decision Cell™ (MDC) Managed Decision Cell™
- Managed decision cell. The logical sociotechnical unit that isolates, audits, and governs a specific business decision, controlling fiduciary rules and blast radius.
- Decision Capital Asset (DCA™) Decision Capital Asset™

- Evaluations (Evals) Evals
- Statistical and simulated fiduciary and safety tests conducted on the decision model or agent for approval and auditing prior to go-live.
- Drift
- The loss of logical calibration or deterioration of model or agent performance resulting from gradual changes in production input patterns.
