Decision intelligence for autonomous agents

Every agent action, evaluated before it runs.

Voscus evaluates every action your agents propose — assessing blast radius, matching policies, and routing decisions to the right outcome — before anything executes.

REQUIRE_APPROVAL

Exceeds external send threshold (5,000)

Explanation

This action targets 48,216 external contacts — 9.6× the approved threshold — and touches compliance-regulated segments. Routing to security team for approval before execution.

The Gap

Agents Act. Nobody Knows the Downstream Consequence.

Content filters and output guardrails answer the wrong question. They ask "is this safe to say?" — not "what happens if this runs?" By the time a risky action completes, the scope of its impact is already set.

Email Agents

Send to wrong recipients, expose sensitive data, or trigger compliance obligations across thousands of contacts.

Code Agents

Push breaking changes, introduce vulnerabilities, or alter production infrastructure without human review.

Data Agents

Access unauthorized records, export regulated data, or alter datasets in ways that propagate downstream.

API Agents

Fire incorrect requests, consume budget against intent, or trigger state changes across dependent systems.

The Question Competitors Don't Answer

Competitors intercept after intent is expressed — filtering outputs, blocking content, flagging responses. Voscus intercepts before execution. It maps the blast radius of an action, evaluates downstream consequence, and gives agents — and the teams running them — a real decision.

How Voscus Works

Six capabilities. One decision before every action.

Before any agent action executes, Voscus assesses blast radius, matches policy, and routes the result to one of four outcomes — deterministically, with full reasoning. No LLM in the decision path.

Pre-Execution Assessment

Every action an agent proposes is evaluated before it runs. Voscus intercepts at the point of intent — not after execution — and maps what the action will actually do.

Blast Radius Analysis

The core differentiator. Before execution, Voscus maps the full downstream reach of an action — contacts, systems, data, and compliance scope — deterministically, not by inference. No other product in this space does this.

Deterministic Decision Engine

No LLM in the decision path. Given the same action and the same policies, Voscus produces the same outcome every time. Every decision is written to an append-only log with full reasoning — what the action was, what policy applied, and what outcome was selected.

The Four Outcomes

Every action resolves to one of four outcomes: Allow (proceed), Warn (proceed with notice), Hold (route for human approval), or Stop (reject). Most actions are allowed. Intervention is the exception, not the default.

Policy-as-Code

Enforcement rules written in YAML, stored in version control, and reviewed like any other code change. Engineers and security teams understand this model immediately. Policies are inspectable, diffable, and auditable by design.

Human-in-the-Loop Approval

REQUIRE_APPROVAL is a first-class outcome, not a fallback. Consequential actions are routed to the right person — with blast radius, policy context, and a plain-language explanation — before anything executes.

The Core Difference

Others Intercept After. Voscus Intercepts Before.

Competitors are reactive by design — they filter outputs, block content, and flag responses. Voscus answers a different question entirely: what happens if this action runs?

Reactive vs. Pre-Execution: Why It Matters

Output filtering and prompt guardrails tell you what an agent said it would do — not what it will actually do. That gap is where the real risk lives.

Voscus closes that gap by assessing impact before execution. The questions that matter are answered before anything runs: what does this action reach, who is affected, and does the scope justify proceeding without a human in the loop?

Feature Comparison

How Voscus Compares

Voscus is purpose-built for pre-execution decision intelligence. Other tools focus on output filtering and content moderation. The distinction is fundamental.

Decision Intelligence for the Workflows That Can't Be Wrong

From finance to healthcare to code generation, Voscus gives teams confidence to deploy AI agents in high-stakes workflows — because every action has been understood before it runs.

Finance & Trading

AI agents executing trades, managing portfolios, or reconciling accounts. Assess impact before every transaction. Enforce risk limits through policy-as-code, not manual review.
