How It Works

PFC governs execution before an AI system can cross the real-world boundary.

Prime Form Calculus sits between AI systems and real-world execution. It evaluates policy, verifies authorization at decision time, and creates deterministic audit records for every governed action.

Request API Key

Organizations can request API access through the developer signup flow and start integration from there.

1. An AI system proposes an action

PFC receives the requested action, the target resource, and the execution context before anything irreversible happens. The critical control point is the execution boundary, where actions move from proposal to commitment.

This is also where execution risk in AI systems becomes real, because a decision only becomes consequential when a downstream system is about to act on it.

2. Policy and authority are evaluated

PFC checks whether the action is allowed under the active policy and whether the caller is still authorized to proceed. This is the enforcement layer behind execution control at the execution boundary.

3. A decision is returned

The API returns an allow or block decision with a reason code and a stable decision identifier for downstream handling.

4. Deterministic evidence is recorded

Each governed decision produces a deterministic evidence record so teams can audit what happened without relying on ad hoc logs.
