AI Decision Accountability

AI is making decisions.
Can you prove it?

Govern, record, and replay critical AI decisions across regulated industries.

See the approach

Financial services

Prove credit, KYC, and fraud decisions

A regulator asks why

Credit declines, KYC escalations, and flagged transactions need more than model output.

Logs are not enough

System logs show activity. They rarely show the policy basis, review path, and decision rationale.

Evidence arrives too late

Manual reconstruction starts after the inquiry, when the decision context is already scattered.

Proof must be built in

Foundry Arbiter is designed to govern the decision and produce the record as work happens.

Built for critical industries

For teams that must explain decisions after the moment has passed.

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.

Banking

Credit, onboarding, fraud, and compliance review paths.

Healthcare

AI-assisted review with protocol and escalation needs.

Manufacturing

Automated operations that need traceable actions.

Energy

Critical workflows where operational context matters.

Defense

Controlled environments with demanding accountability needs.

Space

High-consequence systems where decisions must remain reviewable.

Evidence by design

A defensible decision has a chain of custody.

The point is not to collect more logs. The point is to keep the business decision explainable after the model output has moved downstream.

01
The decision has a source.
Who asked, which system acted, and what context shaped the request.
02
The decision has a control point.
Which policy applied, when review was required, and who approved or stopped it.
03
The decision has a record.
A reviewable trail remains when audit, risk, or a regulator asks for proof.

The platform

Understand. Govern. Prove. Replay.

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.

Understand

Map a credit decline, KYC escalation, or flagged transaction from request to outcome in one reviewable timeline.

Govern

Route high-risk actions through policy checks and human review before they complete.

Prove

Attach a decision record that risk, audit, and compliance teams can review without rebuilding context from logs.

Replay

Replay what happened from initial request through action and outcome when a reviewer asks why.

Governed decision flow

From request to outcome, keep the decision path connected.

Foundry Arbiter governs more than a prompt and response. It keeps policy, execution, human oversight, and decision evidence connected around the model interaction.

01Enterprise workflow
Request received
The originating system sends the decision request with its operating context.
02Foundry Arbiter
Policy evaluated
The request is checked against the active organizational policy set.
03Governed runtime
Workflow executed
Conditional logic, system calls, and model interactions run under a defined path.
04Human oversight
Review and controls
Higher-risk actions pause for review and required control gates before completion.
05NQDS evidence
Outcome recorded
The result returns with a structured record of the decision context and evidence.

Enterprise systems remain the source and destination. Foundry Arbiter controls the path around models and agents, while NQDS preserves the resulting evidence reference.

NQDS™

The flight data recorder for AI decisions.

NQDS is Novaquant’s decision-record format. It preserves the inputs, policy checks, approvals, actions, and outcomes behind a governed AI decision.

Record model

Defines the context a governed AI decision should preserve.

Product layer

Connects policy, workflow, review, model interaction, and outcome.

Review artifact

Gives risk and audit teams a consistent reference for reconstruction.

NQDS record

Decision evidence packet

One decision record linking the request, controls, review, and outcome.

Input

Customer request + workflow context

Designed for enterprise control

Built around the requirements regulated teams cannot ignore.

Foundry Arbiter is designed around deployment control, data minimization, identity, reviewability, and model independence. Product-stage details stay in the Trust Center.

Customer-controlled deployment

Deployment is designed to stay under customer control: VPC, private cloud, or on-premises where required.

Data minimization

Arbiter minimizes retained customer data and keeps operational evidence under customer control by design.

Identity and access

Role-based access and enterprise identity integration shape the access model from the start.

Encryption

Encryption in transit, encryption at rest, and key-management options are treated as baseline requirements.

Why Novaquant

Accountability belongs in the decision path.

We build for the operating teams who have to answer the hard question later: what happened, why did it happen, and who controlled it?

The decision is the unit of trust.

We focus on the moment where AI changes an outcome, not only the model that suggested it.

Human oversight

Define where people review, approve, redirect, or stop consequential actions.

Model-independent governance

Keep policy and review consistent as models, vendors, and providers change.

Built with regulated operators.

Partners bring the real workflows, exceptions, and review paths that shape the product.

Talk with Novaquant

Trust starts with a decision you can reconstruct.

We are working with a small group of regulated teams to shape Foundry Arbiter before launch. Bring us the decision workflow you cannot afford to explain late.

Partner requests use the same secure inquiry flow and are reviewed by the Novaquant team.
