A regulator asks why
Credit declines, KYC escalations, and flagged transactions need more than model output.

Govern, record, and replay critical AI decisions across regulated industries.
Credit declines, KYC escalations, and flagged transactions need more than model output.
System logs show activity. They rarely show the policy basis, review path, and decision rationale.
Manual reconstruction starts after the inquiry, when the decision context is already scattered.
Foundry Arbiter is designed to govern the decision and produce the record as work happens.
Novaquant builds decision accountability for enterprise AI. Foundry Arbiter, our first product, delivers it for regulated and high-consequence work: credit, onboarding, clinical review, operations, defense, and mission workflows.
The common thread is not the industry label. It is the need to preserve context when software, policy, and human judgment meet.
Credit, onboarding, fraud, and compliance review paths.
AI-assisted review with protocol and escalation needs.
Automated operations that need traceable actions.
Critical workflows where operational context matters.
Controlled environments with demanding accountability needs.
High-consequence systems where decisions must remain reviewable.
The point is not to collect more logs. The point is to keep the business decision explainable after the model output has moved downstream.
Who asked, which system acted, and what context shaped the request.
Which policy applied, when review was required, and who approved or stopped it.
A reviewable trail remains when audit, risk, or a regulator asks for proof.
Foundry Arbiter sits between enterprise workflows and AI models. It applies policy, routes review, and writes the decision record without replacing the systems already in place.
Map a credit decline, KYC escalation, or flagged transaction from request to outcome in one reviewable timeline.
Route high-risk actions through policy checks and human review before they complete.
Attach a decision record that risk, audit, and compliance teams can review without rebuilding context from logs.
Replay what happened from initial request through action and outcome when a reviewer asks why.
NQDS is Novaquant’s decision-record format. It preserves the inputs, policy checks, approvals, actions, and outcomes behind a governed AI decision.
Defines the context a governed AI decision should preserve.
Connects policy, workflow, review, model interaction, and outcome.
Gives risk and audit teams a consistent reference for reconstruction.
Managed deployment pattern
Customer-controlled environment
Inside enterprise infrastructure
Target pattern for isolated systems
Foundry Arbiter is designed around deployment control, data minimization, identity, reviewability, and model independence. Product-stage details stay in the Trust Center.
Deployment is designed to stay under customer control: VPC, private cloud, or on-premises where required.
Arbiter minimizes retained customer data and keeps operational evidence under customer control by design.
Role-based access and enterprise identity integration shape the access model from the start.
Encryption in transit, encryption at rest, and key-management options are treated as baseline requirements.
We build for the operating teams who have to answer the hard question later: what happened, why did it happen, and who controlled it?
We focus on the moment where AI changes an outcome, not only the model that suggested it.
Define where people review, approve, redirect, or stop consequential actions.
Keep policy and review consistent as models, vendors, and providers change.
Partners bring the real workflows, exceptions, and review paths that shape the product.
Review documented enforcement actions and the governance failures behind them.
