Control Layer · Rule Engine

The Governance Control Layer

Automated governance enforcement for every AI output. Custom rules, regulatory intelligence, bias detection, and jurisdiction mapping, all applied before delivery.

Governance Control Layer Interface

How the Control Layer Works

From policy definition to automated enforcement, every step is verifiable.

1. Define

Configure governance rules via the API or SDK. Choose from pre-built regulatory templates or create custom rules with JSON conditions, thresholds, and actions.

  • Pre-built rule templates
  • Custom JSON conditions
  • API & SDK configuration

2. Enforce

Every reasoning output from the Xybern Engine is automatically validated against your defined policy set before being finalized.

  • Pre-output gate
  • Real-time blocking
  • Override audit trail

3. Report

Get a complete view of policy compliance across all workspaces. Export audit ready reports for regulators and internal governance.

  • Heatmap dashboards
  • Exception summaries
  • Scheduled exports
Governance API

Rules via API.
Enforced Automatically.

Define governance rules programmatically using the /api/governance endpoints. Every verification request is evaluated against your active rules in real time.

01

Enable a Template

Choose from pre-built templates, minimum trust score, PII detection, bias monitoring, jurisdiction checks, and activate them per workspace.

02

Create Custom Rules

Define conditions on trust score, claim count, content patterns, or source model. Set actions to flag, block, or alert via email.

03

Automatic Enforcement

Every POST /api/v1/verify call evaluates all active rules. Violations are recorded, notifications sent, and outputs blocked if configured.

governance_rule.json
// POST /api/governance/rules
{
  "workspace_id": "ws_prod_7x9",

    "value": 50
  },
  "action": "flag",
  "action_config": {

  }
}

  }
}

Built Into Every Verification

Governance isn't a separate step. Every /api/v1/verify call automatically evaluates your rules, checks regulatory compliance, and records violations to the vault.

Rule Templates

Pre-built templates for trust thresholds, PII detection, bias monitoring, and regulatory compliance.

Email Alerts

Automatic violation notifications sent to compliance teams when rules are triggered.

Vault Recording

Every governance evaluation is permanently recorded in the Provenance Vault with full audit trail.

Scoped API Keys

Workspace scoped API keys with role-based access control and full usage logging.
