FAILCLOSE is the brand behind a set of control systems that make automated and AI-driven decisions accountable. They prove a decision before acting on it, govern every change to authoritative data, and re-verify every artifact before it leaves. When a check cannot be completed, the safe state is the default, not the exception.
Most systems fail open: when something breaks or a check is skipped, the action still goes through. FAILCLOSE technologies invert that. If authorization cannot be proven, a process is interrupted, or integrity cannot be confirmed, the system denies, rejects, rolls back, or escalates to a human. It never silently proceeds.
This single discipline is what lets these systems earn trust: they are designed to be safe even when their own components are not.
Each is a standalone, separately filed, patent-pending system. Each enforces the fail-closed principle at a different point in the lifecycle of a decision.
Evaluates an AI output against an explicit policy and confidence threshold, then issues a cryptographically signed decision token before any consequential action, or escalates to a human.
Governs every change to authoritative data. Writes stay inhibited by default and are allowed only inside a bounded, validated, atomically committed epoch, recorded in a tamper-evident log.
The single exit door for artifacts. Canonicalizes and hashes on intake, then re-verifies integrity at export, releasing only matching artifacts. A failed artifact can never return to verified.
Wherever an automated or AI-driven decision carries real consequences, a fail-closed boundary turns "trust us" into "verify it."
Finance, healthcare, legal, and compliance, where unauthorized or unprovable changes to records create real liability.
Hiring, lending, medical AI, content moderation, and autonomous systems, where an unverified model output should not act on its own.
Legal discovery, medical records, supply chain, and digital evidence, where what leaves must be provably identical to what was stored.
FAILCLOSE is the brand that represents these technologies. The intellectual property is held by the company.
